You Deserve Healing at the Pace of your Nervous System
If you’ve been in therapy and value the insights it brings but still feel stuck—like something just isn’t clicking—you’re not alone. Here’s why a Personal or Couples intensive might be the solution you’ve been looking for.
What is a Cycle Maker Intensive?
Cycle Maker intensives are specialized treatment plans for healing that give you all of the benefits of EMDR, Brainspotting, and Holistic Mental Health therapy condensed into 2-3 days of targeted support. This model is an excellent supplement to the traditional 45-60 minute session and offers numerous benefits:
▪️Accelerated Healing: Intensive sessions allow for deeper and more sustained therapeutic work, often leading to faster progress.
▪️Reduced Overall Therapy Time: With concentrated effort, you may achieve your therapeutic goals in a shorter overall time frame.
▪️Focused and Personalized: Intensive sessions are tailored to your unique needs, allowing for a highly individualized approach.
▪️Deeper Connections: Extended sessions foster a stronger therapeutic relationship and a more profound connection with the healing process.
If you’ve been in therapy and value the insights it brings but still feel stuck—like something just isn’t clicking fast enough—you’re probably right AND you’re not alone.
Who is an Ideal candidate for a Cycle Maker Intensive?
Our personal intensives are designed for individuals who are ready to make significant progress in their healing journey. You might be an ideal candidate for Cycle Maker intensive if:
▪️You Have a Busy Schedule: Intensives can be more accommodating for those with demanding schedules who prefer to dedicate specific periods to their healing. We offer 90 minute, half day, and 3-day programs to address your needs.
▪️You’re Facing Specific Issues: If you have targeted concerns or specific issues you want to address comprehensively, Personal intensives can provide the necessary focus.
▪️You’ve Experienced Trauma: Whether it’s a single event or complex, ongoing trauma, Intensives can help process and integrate these experiences in an intensive format, meaning you can experience relief
▪️You’re Stuck in Traditional Therapy: If you feel like traditional weekly sessions aren’t moving you forward quickly enough, an intensive might be the catalyst you need. Plus you don’t have to fire your therapist! Many individuals receive adjunct therapy intensives, allowing you to keep your primary therapy while using intensives to address a specific goal or aspect of your healing.

Frequently Asked Questions about Intensives
You may be considering a therapeutic intensive but still have a few questions. Here are answers to a few commonly asked questions about Cycle Maker Intensives with Healing Insight.
Q: How Effective are Therapy Intensives?
Evidence Base: Research in support of Our Intensives
Intensive application of trauma-focused therapy seems to be well tolerated in patients with PTSD, enabling faster symptom reduction with similar, or even better, results, while reducing the risk that patients drop out prematurely. Learn more here and here.
▪️Intensive EMDR treatment is feasible and is indicative of reliable improvement in PTSD symptoms in a very short time frame. Learn more here.
▪️An intensive program using EMDR therapy is a potentially safe and effective treatment alternative for complex PTSD. Learn more here.
▪️The economy is compelling: even compared to other trauma therapy, the intensive format may decrease treatment time, because of time not spent on a) checking in at the beginning of each session, b) addressing current crises and concerns, c) focusing on stabilizing and coping skills that the client won’t need after trauma healing, or d) assisting the client in regaining composure at the end of the session. Learn more here.
Q: Is EMDR or Brainspotting therapy effective for everyone?
A: While EMDR and Brainspotting have both shown significant effectiveness in treating a wide range of mental health issues, it is important to assess your unique needs during an initial consultation. During your consultation, we will determine which treatment approaches are the right fit for you and discuss alternative therapies if needed.
Q: Will Intensives retraumatize me?
A: The Intensive process is specifically designed to minimize the risk of re-traumatization. We provide a comprehensive assessment to learn about your experiences and potential difficult or potentially “sticky” areas that are higher risk for retraumatization. Then through a process called resourcing we support you with developing the tools and skills needed to navigate processing safely. We create a supportive and supportive environment and monitor affect throughout processing to help you stay within your “window of tolerance”. Finally, we provide follow up and after care to help your transition into the rest of your day. Ultimately, intensives aim to reprocess traumatic memories in a controlled and empowering way, leading to healing and resolution.
Q: How long do Intensives take to see results?
A: The duration of your program varies depending on individual circumstances. While some clients may experience significant improvements in a few hours, others may require more time. This depends on the nature of your goals and experiences. In general, specific, recent experiences will see faster results than generalized concerns with roots in repeated childhood experiences. We work collaboratively with you to develop a personalized treatment plan and set realistic expectations for your healing journey.
Q: WHAT IS THE COST FOR AN INTENSIVE?
The total cost of the program ranges from $1,250 – $6,000 depending on your specific needs, timing of the intensive, and intensive program length. All programs typically include the following:
▪️Intake Assessment (60-90 minutes) – New clients are required to complete an intake prior to intensive days.
▪️Core intensive Processing (2-8 hours)
▪️Post-Intensive Follow up (90 – 120 minutes)
Insurance does not cover the cost of an intensive, however, we are happy to utilize your FSA and HSA benefits for this service.
Also we are happy to partner with Klarna, Affirm, and Afterpay to help you finance the cost of the program over 3,6,12,or 18 payments–bringing payments to as low as $80/month, for qualified borrowers
How does the Couples Intensive Work?
A Couples Intensive is a focused, multi-hour healing experience designed to help both partners break painful communication cycles, process past hurts, and rebuild connection. Using Brainspotting, EMDR, and holistic relational tools, we create a safe space for deeper emotional attunement, clarity, and growth—without dragging things out over months.
This is not couples therapy but therapy for couples. Both partners will individually process the childhood, adulthood and relationship experiences causing the most distress within the relationship––with the support of their partner present.
Couples Intensives are ideal for:
▪️Partners who feel emotionally disconnected but are both willing to do the work
▪️Couples navigating infidelity recovery, major life transitions, or lingering resentment
▪️High-functioning partnerships where individual trauma is showing up in the relationship
▪️Engaged or long-term couples who want to deepen intimacy and emotional resilience
You do not need to be in crisis to benefit from a couples intensive. This is for couples who are ready to move with intention.
