Therapy & Meditation Program
A Real Solution for Physical and Mental Healing
What is Intensive Therapy?
Intensive therapy programs, or therapeutic personal retreats, represent some of the most innovative healthcare currently available. The model stems from the theory that high doses of treatment over short periods of time can produce the kind of results that are virtually impossible to achieve within the traditional weekly therapy encounter. This approach is intentionally time-limited, goal-driven, depth-oriented, and highly concentrated, making it an excellent option for resolving issues that demand immediate attention, as well as for revisiting a recurring challenge in a purposeful way.
While standard therapy practices can be effective (I continue to employ them because they work), they are not always the most efficient. Some problems are too costly to let drag on from week to week. Intensive therapy programs afford you the opportunity to quickly get to the root of the problem and begin the journey toward making long-lasting, permanent changes.
Some of the reasons people seek out an intensive course of therapy include:
Personal growth
To address chronic pain
To heal from traumatic experiences
To treat addictions and prevent relapse
To navigate emotions during times of transition
To restore a sense of hope after receiving difficult news
To cultivate one’s capacity for intimacy with self and others
To learn paradigms and practices to help sustain vitality and joy.

WHAT IS PANIC DISORDER
MEDICATION FOR PANIC DISORDER
SYMPTOMS OF PANIC DISORDER
Current psychological research has found that cognitive behavioral therapy is by far the most effect treatment for anxiety in general, and panic disorder in particular. In addition to its effectiveness, CBT for panic is also significantly shorter in duration than traditional talk therapy, with CBT for panic disorder usually lasting only 12-16 sessions. Furthermore, the gains made in CBT are longer lasting than those achieved by anxiety medication, which when disocontinued, often results in a relapse of symptoms.
Cognitive behavioral treatment for panic attacks and panic disorder usually involves some combination of the following interventions:
Relaxation Training: Relaxation training can be helpful in beginning stages of treatment for panic. Often people have become increasingly anxious over time, so much so that their bodies are overwrought with muscle tension, making them even more susceptible to additional anxiety. Usually relaxation training involves relaxation breathing or progressive muscle relaxation, ways of decreasing physiological anxious arousal. This then helps to reduce future vulnerability to anxiety.
Cognitive Restructuring: Cognitive Restructuring is a method of becoming more aware of anxiety-provoking thought patterns, and replacing them with more balanced, less anxious thinking. By reducing the intensity of your reactions to panic symptoms and feared situations, you can further reduce your anxiety, and decrease the frequency, intensity, and duration of panic symptoms.
Mindfulness: A meditative technique borrowed from eastern traditions of meditation, mindfulness as a tool for overcoming anxiety is increasingly becoming the focus of a great deal of scientific research. In treatment for panic disorder, it is used to help teach people to experience unpleasant physical sensations without reacting negatively to them, thus short-circuiting the vicious cycle of fear and panic.
Exposure treatment: Once people feel less anxious about future panic attacks due to using relaxation training, mindfulness, and cognitive restructuring, they are more able to confront anxiety-provoking situations. Systematic exposure is an intervention that helps people face what they normally avoid. By purposely putting themselves in challenging situations, they defuse the fear associated with them, and no longer fear the situations in the future.
Stress Reduction: For some people, reducing stressors can be an important part of treatment for anxiety. A combination of 1) learning to react to different situations more calmly and 2) reducing unnecessary stress, can be helpful in reducing overall anxiety and improving quality of life.
By stepping away from normal routines and responsibilities, my clients are able to bring all their resources and strengths to the work at hand. Longer, concentrated block of time allows for sessions to seamlessly build upon one another, resulting in less time wasted or progress lost. And with more rapid improvement, short bursts of focused therapy might prove to be more economical than long-term treatment.
Is Intensive Therapy Right for Me?Not all clients or situations are appropriate for intensive therapy. As a solo practitioner, my intensives are designed for those who are safe and stable enough not to require inpatient care. The primary benefit of the therapy retreat is healing and resolution of problems, and I am not equipped to not offer stabilization or detox services.
While many people successfully engage in stand-alone personal retreats, intensives are not always a substitute for traditional ongoing therapy. Some people find they might require more rigorous effort at the onset of therapy and take an intensive to jumpstart the therapeutic process. This is especially helpful for clients who wish to continue working with me via secure video. Others find intensives serve as a boost when stalled or at an impasse during regular therapy. Others still choose to have regular “mini-intensives” and schedule their ongoing work in this way.Some people attend an intensive because they have a passion for self-exploration and personal growth. Instead of viewing the retreat as treatment, they see this format as a compliment to other self-development work they might be involved in. There are many reasons you might wish to consider this model, and my interview process will help to ensure that a private intensive is the right path for you.
Intensive Therapy is excellent for people who:
Prefer to progress more rapidly than a once a week format allows
Lack sufficient time to meet with a therapist weekly
Have an irregular or unpredictable schedule
Live in areas where integrative therapists/trauma specialists are unavailable
Prefer to see a therapist outside of their community
Want to thoroughly address a life challenge soon after it occurs
Seek to compliment personal transformation work already in progress
Most people will accomplish quite a lot during the retreat, but some issues or patterns are so entrenched that change can be slow. If you require more support, you have the option of returning for another retreat, following up with me in person (if local) or by phone/secure video, or you can complete your work elsewhere.
Each experience is customized, but generally includes:
Psychotherapy sessions each day
Therapeutic healing sessions
Movement and meditation experiences
Ample breaks for naps, walks, journal writing, and relaxation
“Home play” exercises for you to deepen your exploration between sessions
Not all therapy is emotionally intense or tiring, and most people are surprised to find they are not only able to work for many hours, but find it deeply satisfying to do so. While intensives can be demanding, the hope is you’ll return from the experience with a renewed sense of trust and empowerment to be your own greatest healer. If you are experiencing emotional, physical, relationship or career-related stress or distress, our meditation therapy program is for you. In this unique four-stage healing process you will evolve your emotional state to identify and release the very pain with which you struggle, and most importantly, fill the void with love, strength and empowerment.
The primary objective in meditative therapy is to induce the mind into an Alpha (resting) or theta (relaxing) brainwave state. In this state the brain’s rhythm appreciably quiets so that antibodies, and natural painkillers called endorphins, are released into the system.
Discover or develop a good health practice, reach personal, emotional and physical goals, learn and practice meditation, receive a nurturing cognitive therapy and practical strategies—even transform your diet and lifestyle according to your body’s specific needs.

This course is aimed at giving students basic tools for spiritual development. Students are given a strong foundation for embarking on a path of intuitive skills by learning a simple, effective form of meditation for grounding; visualizing and directing energy flow in the body, and establishing clear boundaries. From the very first class, students are able to apply these skills in their daily lives.
This is a practical method of meditation, using the body and its energy as a source of information for the developing spirit. Learning this form of meditation gives new meaning to the phrase, “Know thyself.”
