Therapy Intensives for Individuals & Couples in Denver, Colorado

Where transformation meets intention.

Deep healing, real breakthroughs, and soulful reconnection—all in one immersive space

Sometimes, weekly therapy just isn’t enough.

When you’re craving real movement—in your healing, your relationship, or your life—a therapy intensive offers a sacred pause.

A space to go deeper, faster, and more intentionally.

Whether you’re navigating a midlife awakening, relational disconnection, or a season of self-reinvention, intensives offer a focused, accelerated path toward lasting change.

This is the work that shifts you…from holding it all together to feeling deeply whole, from disconnection to embodied clarity and self-trust.

What are Therapy Intensives?

Intensives are immersive, half-day or multi-day therapy experiences designed for deep, concentrated healing.

Unlike weekly sessions, they give you uninterrupted space to explore what’s been buried, stuck, or out of alignment—and begin rewriting the patterns holding you back.

You’ll begin with a personalized consultation and assessment to set clear intentions, followed by a 3–4 hour, 1-day, or 2-day intensive tailored to your needs.

For Individuals:
Therapy Intensives for Women

Come home to yourself—one layer at a time.

This is for the high-achieving, heart-led woman who’s done the work.
But she still feels disconnected—like something’s missing.
Or like she’s outgrown the version of herself she’s held together.

You’ve spent years giving, striving, and managing it all.

This intensive individual therapy offers a pause.
A space to go deeper than a single session allows.
A chance to create movement and reconnect with the woman within.

It’s about creating space to remember yourself again.

Rooted in my integrative approach, individual intensives blend clinical wisdom with intuitive guidance, nervous system work, and inner child healing.

This isn’t surface-level. It’s soul-deep.

    • Midlife transitions, identity shifts & “Who am I now?” moments

    • Emotional overwhelm, perfectionism, or burnout

    • Nervous system regulation & embodied healing

    • Attachment wounds & generational cycles

    • Grief, inner child & parts work

    • Self-worth, confidence, body image, & boundaries

For Couples:
Couples Therapy Intensives

Rebuild trust. Rekindle intimacy.
Remember why you chose each other.

Relationships don’t thrive on autopilot. Life gets full—careers, kids, and transitions. Suddenly the emotional closeness feels out of reach.

Couples Therapy Intensives offer a compassionate, structured space to pause together. A space to repair ruptures, deepen understanding, and reconnect with intention.

What Level of Distress Are You In? 

Each relationship carries history, hurt, and hope. Couples arrive at different points of disconnection. Intensives are here to meet you where you are. This guide offers an attachment lens to help you reflect.

Where is your relationship today? What are you longing for?

    • One or both of you are questioning whether you can stay together

    • A recent emotional injury or betrayal has created rupture and mistrust

    • You feel stuck in reactive cycles that end in shutdown, criticism, or silence

    • You long to feel close, but instead feel alone, guarded, or hopeless

    • You function well together day-to-day, but emotional intimacy feels out of reach

    • Disconnection comes and goes, and you often miss each other’s bids for closeness

    • Conflict is unresolved or leads to repeated arguments

    • You want to feel safe turning toward each other again, but aren't sure how

    • You care deeply and want to feel more emotionally connected

    • Small moments of disconnection or misattunement go unspoken

    • You're navigating individual growth that impacts how you relate

    • You want to deepen your emotional bond before patterns worsen

Integration Support (Aftercare)

Deep healing deserves gentle integration.

Transformation doesn’t end when the intensive does. Insights keep unfolding. Emotions surface. 

That’s why I offer integration sessions—intentional, post-intensive therapy available at an hourly rate per session after the intensive package. These sessions are designed to support your continued integration and healing:

For Individuals, integration may include:

  • Nervous system healing and emotional processing

  • Nervous System and Wiser Self Tools: inner child healing, parts work, intuitive reflection

  • Rebuilding self-trust, clarity, and grounded confidence

For Couples, integration may support:

  • Practicing communication tools in real life

  • Re-establishing emotional safety and repair

  • Deepening connection through follow-through, not just insight

This is where your growth becomes embodied from the bottom-up and sustainable.

Testimonials

  • "I’ve done plenty of personal growth work, but working with DesiRae has taken me deeper than I ever imagined. She’s the guide I’ve been searching for to help me peel back the layers and do the real inner work. Working with her, I’ve healed grief, embraced forgiveness, and reconnected with my inner voice. I’ve learned to listen to my heart instead of overthinking and trying to control everything. Now, I go with the flow, trust my intuition, and no longer get stuck in “should-ing” myself. This journey has been worth every step.”

FAQs

  • Yes. Many clients choose to follow an intensive with weekly therapy sessions for integration. Others begin with an intensive to jumpstart the work before transitioning to weekly support.

  • Follow-up integration sessions are recommended but not included in the intensive package. These sessions are offered at my standard hourly rate and can be scheduled separately to support continued growth.

  • Intensives are offered in person only. Clients must be physically located in Colorado during the intensive. Some clients choose to travel to Denver for this experience.

  • You do not have to begin with a 2-day intensive. I offer a 3–4 hour mini intensive and 1-day formats as well. See “Format & Options” section above for details.

  • Each 1-day or 2-day intensive includes a 45-minute pre-intensive phone consultation with each partner (or with the individual client), 8 reserved hours per day, and up to 7 hours of active therapy work daily. These experiences also include intentional breaks, personalized resources, and optional creative integration activities.

  • Intensives are ideal if you’re feeling stuck, disconnected, or ready for a deeper level of healing. Whether you’ve tried therapy before or this is your first step, intensives offer focused support for meaningful transformation. (See “Is an Intensive Right for You?” section above for guidance.)

  • Hourly intensive rates start at $200/hour for individuals and $250/hour for couples. Final cost depends on the format selected. I am considered an out-of-network provider.

  • 50% of the fee will be charged to reserve your intensive date and time. This payment is:

    • Fully refundable up to 14 days before the scheduled date

    • 50% refundable if canceled 7–13 days in advance

    • Non-refundable if canceled 6 days or fewer before the scheduled date

    The remaining 50% will be charged on the first day of the intensive.

    You may reschedule without penalty if a reschedule request is made more than two weeks in advance. Requests to reschedule less than one week before your intensive may not be granted and will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
