Written By Laura Geftman

Therapy Intensive Defined

A therapy intensive is a structured series of extended therapy sessions occurring over one or several days rather than weekly appointments. It is designed to create psychological momentum and depth within a contained timeframe.

How It Differs From Weekly Therapy

  • Longer sessions

  • Fewer overall appointments

  • Greater immersion and focus

  • Enhanced privacy

  • Efficient scheduling for busy professionals

Why ART Works Well in Intensives

Accelerated Resolution Therapy’s structured and experiential format aligns naturally with intensive work. Clients can process multiple emotional themes without prolonged storytelling, making progress feel efficient and emotionally manageable.

Who Benefits Most

  • Professionals with demanding schedules

  • Individuals preparing for major transitions

  • Those seeking discreet emotional work

  • Clients addressing specific memories or performance blocks

Expected Outcomes

Many clients report increased clarity, emotional regulation, confidence, and renewed motivation following intensive formats, especially when ART is integrated.

For individuals in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, and Florida, therapy intensives offer a private, efficient path toward meaningful psychological change.
