Online Individual IFS Intensives

Focused time to go deeper into the patterns, protective parts, and experiences that may be keeping you stuck — without having to stop just as the deeper work begins.

Available via telehealth in Florida.

LET'S TALK

What Is An IFS Individual Intensive?

An IFS Therapy Individual Intensive is an extended therapy session for one person designed to create more time and space for focused, experiential work than is typically possible in a traditional weekly therapy hour.

In a 50-minute session, meaningful work can happen — but sometimes just as we begin reaching something important, it is time to wrap up. The following week, we may need to spend time reconnecting with the experience before going deeper again.

An intensive gives us room to stay with the process.

Rather than watching the clock quite so closely, we can slow down, understand the protective parts that are present, build enough internal safety to approach what lies underneath them, and allow the work to unfold with greater continuity.

Individual Therapy Intensives: What They Are and Who They're For

Why Choose an Intensive?

Therapy intensives can be especially valuable when you already have significant insight into yourself but feel that something still isn't shifting.

You may understand where a pattern came from. You may recognize your triggers. You may have spent years talking about your experiences and developed tremendous awareness of yourself.

And yet, some reactions, beliefs, fears, or emotional wounds may still feel deeply embedded.

An intensive creates an opportunity to spend sustained time working experientially with those places rather than only talking about or managing them.

You might consider an intensive if:

You feel stuck around a particular issue or pattern
You understand something intellectually but still feel it emotionally
There is a specific experience from the past you would like to work through
You keep encountering the same reaction despite previous therapy or insight
Weekly therapy feels too fragmented for the depth of work you want to do
You want focused therapeutic work without committing to ongoing weekly therapy
You are already in therapy and want dedicated time to work more deeply with a particular issue

An intensive isn't about doing therapy faster or forcing more work into a shorter period of time.

It's about creating enough space for depth.

Why You Still Feel Stuck After Years of Therapy

What Does an IFS Intensive Feel Like?

We begin by getting clear about what you would like to explore and what you hope might be different as a result of our work together.

From there, we slow things down.

Rather than spending the entire session talking about what has happened, I will help you notice what is happening inside you as we work — the thoughts, emotions, body sensations, beliefs, images, and protective responses that emerge.

Using IFS, we become curious about the parts of you connected to the issue. We listen to what they are trying to protect, understand what they need from you, and, when there is enough safety and readiness, approach the deeper experiences they may be carrying.

There is room to pause, reflect, take breaks, and follow what feels most important rather than pushing toward a predetermined outcome.

You remain in control throughout the process. We don't force access to painful material, and there is no expectation that you accomplish a particular amount of healing in one session.

The extended format simply gives us something that can be difficult to find in ordinary life — unhurried, protected time to stay with yourself and see where the work leads.
