THERAPEUTIC INTENSIVES
For clients who want to go deeper or move more quickly than weekly sessions typically allow, Gentle Healing Space offers therapeutic intensives. An intensive is an extended session — often 2 to 4 hours — that provides the time and space needed for focused, in-depth work without the interruptions of a traditional 50-minute hour. This format can be especially helpful for clients working through a specific issue, preparing for a life transition, navigating time constraints, or simply wanting more room to do meaningful work in a single sitting.
Gentle Healing Space offers two types of intensives: EMDR & Brainspotting Intensives and Couples Intensives.
BRAINSPOTTING/EMDR INTENSIVES
Sometimes healing needs more room to unfold than a single hour can hold. Gentle Healing Space offers EMDR and Brainspotting Intensives — extended sessions of 2 to 4 hours — allowing clients and their therapist to slow down, go deeper, and give the nervous system the time it needs to process and settle.
EMDR and Brainspotting are both gentle, effective approaches to working through difficult experiences and stuck emotional patterns. (More information on EMDR and Brainspotting can be found on their dedicated pages.) An intensive can focus on just one of these approaches or draw from both, depending on what best fits the client's needs.
This format can be especially supportive for clients who are navigating something specific, preparing for a big transition, working with limited time, or simply want more space to do this work well.

COUPLES THERAPY EXTENDED SESSIONS AND INTENSIVES
For couples who want more time and space than a standard session allows, Gentle Healing Space offers Extended Sessions and Intensives designed specifically for couples work. Extended Sessions run 90 minutes, while Intensives range from 2 to 4 hours — giving couples room to slow down, work through patterns more fully, and experience real shifts within a single session.
These sessions draw from an eclectic, integrative approach, including Relational Life Therapy (RLT), Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT), Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, along with inner child and humanistic approaches. Brainspotting or EMDR may also be incorporated for couples when appropriate, helping partners process individual wounds that are impacting the relationship.
This format can be especially supportive for couples navigating a specific conflict or rupture, wanting to build stronger communication and connection, preparing for a major life transition, or simply needing more time than a weekly session allows.
