Here and Now Therapy Intensive:
Step into an Accelerated Path to Healing and Growth
Many of us recognize the need for fundamental change, but may not have the time for regular therapy. Or, perhaps you’ve tried talk therapy for a while now but want to experience a new approach outside of the rhythm of weekly sessions. What if you could dedicate three full days to focused, immersive therapeutic work, away from the distractions of your daily life?
Our Therapy Intensives are designed to deepen your healing, providing the time and space necessary to identify groundbreaking perspectives on longstanding barriers, learn and practice new approaches to let go of pain, trauma, and sadness, and fully embody the life you want to live—right here, right now.
The 3-Day Intensive Experience
Held over three days amidst the restorative beauty of the Sierra Foothills, this offering is a powerful departure from traditional therapy. You will step away from the din of daily routine to immerse yourself in a highly concentrated and personalized experience. The natural setting is specifically chosen to facilitate the stillness, reflection, and mindful connection that are core components of our approach
Structure: The Power of Individual Focus with Shared Support
This intensive is carefully balanced to maximize personal breakthrough while fostering a sense of shared humanity.
1. Primary Focus: Deep Individual Therapy
The foundation of this intensive will be dedicated to intensive, daily, one-on-one sessions. Unlike weekly therapy, this concentrated format allows us to rapidly and effectively deepen our work together in real time through in-vivo training of skills guided by our Acceptance and Commitment Therapy experts.
We will focus on your specific values and goals, moving beyond surface-level coping to address the roots of challenges like anxiety, trauma, perfectionism, or depression. This accelerated timeline is designed to build psychological flexibility quickly, leading to profound and lasting shifts in your relationship with difficult thoughts and feelings.
2. Mind-Body Somatic Integration
We recognize that psychological struggles are often deeply held within the body. This intensive includes dedicated time for mind-body work, drawing on principles of bodywork, somatic therapy, and Eastern contemplative practice. We utilize this focused approach to explore and process the emotional and relational patterns held in your physical experience, helping you:
- Cultivate deeper awareness of physical sensations and emotional responses
- Release chronic tension and patterns of avoidance held in the body
- Integrate emotional breakthroughs so they are felt and embodied, leading to whole-person healing
3. Shared Group Activities & Processing
To complement your individual breakthroughs, the intensive includes carefully curated shared group activities and processing sessions.
This is completely unlike traditional group therapy. They are guided, value-driven experiences (such as mindful experiences in nature, expressive exercises, or collaborative processing on ACT concepts amongst others) that foster a sense of connection and provide powerful opportunities to practice new ways of relating to your thoughts and emotions in a supportive, safe environment.

- Feeling “stuck” and ready for a significant breakthrough after trying traditional therapy formats
