Sex Therapy Intensives in California

Experience Rapid Healing, Deeper Connection, and Sexual Well-Being in a Focused Therapeutic Environment

Does it feel like weekly 50 minute therapy simply hasn’t been enough to help you live the life you want?

You might have had a felt sense that something profound has yet to change, but you’re not quite sure why you haven’t gotten there with all the time you’ve already invested in therapy.

Perhaps you’ve been meaning to get into weekly therapy for a while now, but your schedule has been so hectic and demanding that a weekly therapy appointment feels more overwhelming and like a chore than supportive and something you want to do. Not to mention you might sit on a waitlist for weekly therapy for weeks or months.

Maybe you’re needing help — and a lot of it — right now, and you don’t want to spend months or even years in the traditional weekly model of therapy treatment to feel better.

Or you are a new client to therapy who just prefers to work intensively.

The traditional therapy model is changing.

Discover flexible therapy options designed to accelerate your healing process.

What does a Sex Therapy Intensive Include?

Pre-Intensive Interview

A 3hour intake session to provide an initial assessment, determine the goals of the sex therapy Intensive and prepare for the experience. This includes 1 hour together and 1 hours with each partner individually.

Customized Treatment Program

The Sex Therapy Intensive sessions take place virtually and are scheduled for 1-3 days for 3 hours each day. Includes targeted treatment and resourcing activities customized for you.

Personalized treatment workbook

The workbook includes assessments and activities to prepare for the Intensive. The workbook allows you keep a record of progress on your treatment goals before, during, and after our sessions.

Post-Intensive Integration

After your intensive, you’ll receive additional resources, exercises, and will be offered follow-up sessions as needed to help integrate what you've learned into your everyday life.

A Sex Therapy Intensive is a personalized, accelerated therapeutic experience designed for individuals and couples who want to address sexual health issues in a condensed timeframe. These intensives allow you to dedicate focused time to exploring the root causes of sexual challenges, heal past wounds, and develop new tools for healthy sexual expression.

Each intensive is tailored to your specific needs, offering a safe and confidential space to work through sensitive topics without the pressure of weekly appointments.

Traditional therapy can take months, even years, to fully unpack and address deep-rooted sexual issues. With the intensive model, we work together in a dedicated block of time, giving you the space to break through blocks, develop sexual confidence, and move towards your goals at an accelerated pace. This approach is ideal for those seeking more immediate progress, have a busy schedule, or are traveling from out of town.

Initial Consultation: Before your intensive begins, we’ll meet for a comprehensive consultation. This session, lasting 2-3 hours, will allow me to understand your concerns, goals, and background. It also helps determine if the intensive format is the right fit for you.
Personalized Treatment Plan: Following the consultation, we’ll design a customized therapy plan tailored to your unique needs. This may include a combination of talk therapy, cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and experiential exercises to enhance sexual connection and expression. You’ll also receive some preparatory prompted journaling to complete at home, which will help you reflect and engage with the therapeutic process before the main session.
4-Hour Therapy Session: A focused 4-hour therapy session will follow, allowing for deep, concentrated work on the issues identified. This session provides ample time to delve into your sexual concerns and begin the healing process in a structured, supportive environment.
Post-Intensive Integration: After your intensive, you’ll receive additional resources, exercises, and follow-up sessions to support the integration of your insights into your daily life. We’ll make sure you have the tools to maintain progress long after the intensive ends.

Please note: Sessions are held on separate days to allow for reflection and integration between them.

How is intensive therapy more cost effective and time efficient than weekly therapy?

Weekly therapy typically includes:

10-15 minutes of checking in from the last session
20-30 minutes of EMDR processing
10-15 minutes of closing the session

You might spend a month working on one specific stressor, costing around $1,000 for the 4 weekly therapy sessions.

But realistically, stuff comes up between sessions, you don’t want to work on processing the next session, and session focus week-to-week might shift significantly.

So you might actually be in weekly therapy for multiple months ($1,000 x’s # of months) and still not feel fully resolved in the thing causing you stress right now.

Intensive therapy typically includes:

10-15 minutes of checking in, establishing session focus
4 hours of concentrated work
10-15 minutes closing the session

You feel better, faster.

You spend less on symptom-managing medications (that weren’t really working anyway).

You don’t have to keep taking time off of work or paying for childcare to attend your sessions.
