Concentrated days with the horses for individuals and/or families who want to focus on one thing they want to move.
Free 15-minute consultation
An intensive accelerates the same healing that happens in weekly therapy. Instead of an hour a week, you set aside a defined block of time (typically three days, three hours a day) to work on specific themes. Concentrated time allows for deeper work and faster results. You can choose the duration and intensity of your intensive, spread it across a weekend, or across several weekends. We will set the length and shape together
Intensives can be useful in many different situations, and can also be done in parallel to your regular individual or group sessions
A single event that hasn't been put down. A conflict that runs on a loop. A decision no one can get to the bottom of. A diagnosis that reframed everything and hasn't been absorbed yet. Intensives work best aimed at a clear target, not a general wish to feel better
The insight is there. Everyone can name the pattern, and still the same thing happens on Tuesday that happened last Tuesday. Understanding something and being able to do it differently are two separate pieces of work, and the second one needs consecutive time to practice in.
An intensive can sit inside work you're already doing — a concentrated push on a single issue, then back to your regular sessions with it handled. I'm glad to coordinate with your therapist and hand back whatever is useful.
Because you travel for work, or work shifts, or drive a route. Because you're a nurse, a pilot, a consultant, a rancher in season. Because childcare changes every week, or custody is split, or you're a college student home only over winter break. Because you live two hours from Longmont and the drive costs more than the session.
Each intensive is tailored to your goals. We will elaborate the structure together after a complete assessment of your current situation, goals, and constraints.
This consultation call is an informal conversation where we can check if we are a good fit, if the intensive is the right way to work for you
You will receive and complete a detailed intake questionnaire about your background, current challenges, and goals.
We will meet for a 50-minute intake session to review your questionnaire and create a detailed intensive schedule, write down your goals and outcome measures to ensure we can accurately track your progress.
You will receive a detailed schedule, with reminders. We will meet at the farm, with the horses and goats and follow the agenda we will have put together. This includes activities with the horses, discussions on how to bring what you learned into your daily life. At the end of each day, we will debrief the day together and prepare for the next day.
We will meet at the end of each day to debrief the day and prepare for the following day. On the last day the debrief session will be focused on the whole intensive debrief, and next steps
