Intensive Trauma Therapy
One-on-One Psychodrama Intensive
At The Garden Intensives, our individual therapy intensives provide a focused, trauma-informed setting where you can finally move beyond the patterns that keep you stuck.
Deep Healing Work
Deep Work, One Person at a Time
An individual intensive is a custom, one-on-one therapeutic immersion that condenses months of therapy into a few days of focused healing.
It's ideal for adults navigating:
Unresolved trauma or PTSD
Feeling 'stuck' after years of therapy
Anxiety, grief, or emotional burnout
Relationship or boundary patterns that repeat
Post-treatment or post-wilderness transitions
"Each intensive is designed around your goals, integrating psychodrama, expressive arts, and somatic awareness to help you experience change, not just talk about it."
The Intensive Advantage
Why Intensives Work
Traditional therapy unfolds over months of 50-minute sessions. An intensive creates the space for uninterrupted, sustained work so you can dive deeper and integrate more fully.
Accelerated Healing
Many clients experience breakthroughs that previously felt out of reach—progress that might take months in weekly therapy.
Embodied Experience
Experiential work engages both mind and body, bypassing overthinking and allowing emotions to move and resolve.
Safe, Focused Care
You'll have the full attention of your therapist in a private, trauma-informed setting where safety and pacing come first.
Integration
After our intensives end, you will be equipped with tools and insight. We work to ensure you are connected to the support you need to continue your therapeutic growth.
"This is immersive therapy for when insight alone hasn't been enough."
Your Journey
A Glimpse Inside a 3-Day Intensive
Every intensive is tailored, but here's what a typical rhythm might include:
Day 1
Warm Up & Orientation
The first day builds safety, trust, and group connection through agreements of emotional safety, and gentle warm-up activities. Participants begin exploring themes in a supportive way while getting comfortable with the psychodrama process.
Day 2
Deep Experiential Work
The second day invites participants into more focused psychodrama sessions, exploring personal and family themes with greater depth. This is a day where trust, cohesion and attunement between participants is securely formed.
Day 3
Closure & Integration
The final day focuses on reflection, sharing, and creating personal takeaways. Participants connect with themselves or each other on insights, commit to new dynamics, and leave with tools to handle challenges and successes.
