A therapy intensive allows you to work through challenges in a longer, uninterrupted session rather than spreading therapy across many weeks. This can lead to deeper emotional processing and greater insight.

Therapy intensives are offered Monday to Friday between 9am-5pm.

The time blocks reserved for the intensives are as follows:

1. 9am-12pm

2. 12pm-3pm

3. 2pm- 5pm

We offer therapy intensives in person at our Etobicoke office or virtually across Ontario.

No. Therapy intensives are suitable whether you are new to therapy or have been in therapy before. Your pre-intensive session ensures the experience is tailored to your comfort level and goals.

When appropriate, EMDR and other trauma-informed approaches may be used during intensives to help process difficult experiences in a safe and effective way.

Many clients benefit from keeping their schedule lighter for the next day or so after an intensive. The post-session integration and your personalized workbook help you process what came up and continue your healing in the days that follow.

Yes. Therapy intensives are available both in person in Etobicoke and virtually for adults across Ontario, depending on your needs and preferences.

While therapy intensives can be deeply effective, they are not the right approach for everyone. An intensive may not be appropriate at this time if you:

• Are currently experiencing active psychosis, mania, or severe dissociation

• Are in acute crisis or at risk of harming yourself or others

• Are struggling with active substance dependence

• Do not yet have enough emotional or nervous system stability to process trauma safely

• Are not able to engage in grounding, resourcing, or emotional regulation skills

• Feel pressured into an intensive rather than choosing it for yourself

For some people, it’s safer and more supportive to begin with regular therapy sessions to build stability, coping skills, and a sense of safety before engaging in an intensive. This can be determined in the complimentary 20 minute consultation.

The 20 minute complimentary consultation is designed to assess whether an intensive is appropriate for you. If an intensive is not clinically recommended, we will talk through safer, more supportive options such as Individual Therapy.

The complimentary consultation allows us to understand your goals, answer your questions, and ensure that an intensive is likely to be beneficial rather than overwhelming. If an intensive isn’t the best option at this time, we will talk through alternative supports that may better meet your needs.

This thoughtful screening process reflects our commitment to your wellbeing, informed consent, and care that is paced with respect for your nervous system. Our priority is not just doing meaningful work — but doing it in a way that supports safety, stability, and lasting healing.

Therapy intensives are billed at $210 per hour.

• 1 hour - Pre Intensive session

• 3 hour - Intensive session

• 1 hour - Post Intensive session

• 1 hour (non clinical hour) - 1 personalized work book

The total cost would be 6 hours x $210 = $1260.

Clients are required to pay a non refundable fee of 50% of the intensive at the time of booking.

Therapy intensives require advance preparation and reserved clinical time. A minimum of two weeks’ notice is required to cancel or reschedule an intensive.

• Requests made with at least two weeks’ notice may be rescheduled; the 50% non-refundable deposit paid at the time of booking will be applied to the new date.

• Cancellations, no-shows, or rescheduling attempts made with less than two weeks’ of the scheduled intensive will be charged the full cost of the intensive, and no refunds will be issued.

This policy is in place to account for the clinical preparation and time reserved for therapy intensives.
