Introduction
For some clients, one hour a week isn’t enough to create meaningful change. Therapy intensives—half-day, full-day, or multi-day immersive sessions—offer concentrated time for deep work and accelerated progress.
Why Intensives Work
Therapy intensives provide uninterrupted focus, allowing clients to process emotions, practice new skills, and achieve breakthroughs in a shorter timeframe. Without the pause of weekly sessions, insight and growth happen more fluidly.
How CBH Structures Intensives
At City Behavioral Health therapy intensives are fully customized to each client’s goals. They may include:
- Individual sessions focusing on trauma or behavioral patterns.
- DBT skills application and coaching.
- Somatic or creative arts therapy for embodied healing.
This immersive experience provides the space and clinical support needed to make tangible progress toward recovery and stability.
For Whom They Work Best
Therapy intensives are particularly effective for individuals:
- Feeling stuck in weekly therapy.
- Facing major transitions or emotional blocks.
- Seeking to accelerate healing after trauma or loss.
According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), intensive, evidence-based therapy formats can enhance retention, engagement, and emotional integration—key predictors of long-term improvement.
