Immersive Healing and Creative Renewal in Steamboat Springs.
Concentrated, in-person therapy designed for deep healing and accelerated progress.
Are you looking for something beyond the ordinary?
✔️ You haven’t found relief through traditional talk therapy or weekly therapy.
Intensive Therapy is designed to be efficient, and many clients experience lasting transformation within the session. The alternative nature of Intensive Therapy creates pathways to healing that you haven’t yet explored.
✔️ You’re done with logging into video meetings.
Your idea of healing doesn’t include the constant interruption of daily life and the stress of planning for another weekly commitment. In fact, a little mountain getaway could be just the serene environment you’re looking for.
✔️ You’re introspective and self-aware.
You get it - your mental health is struggling, the world is collapsing, and you should be doing “self-care.” The awareness is there, but you’re looking for help with the implementation.
Why Intensive Therapy?
✅ Accelerated Healing - experience profound shifts and progress in a condensed timeframe.
✅ Deep Immersion - dive deep into your healing, away from the normal chaos, for focused and transformative treatment.
✅ In-Person EMDR Therapy - using buzzies (pictured) engage in effective EMDR that goes beyond visual or audio bilateral stimulation.

Meet Your Therapist
Hi! I’m Carly, and my clients are a lot like you.
You're driven, capable, and used to pushing through – but grief isn't something you can just muscle away.
I know that firsthand. I lost my little brother to cancer and my dad to suicide. These losses shape my purpose: helping others navigate devastating grief.
That's why I've created these in-person intensives in Steamboat Springs – a chance to break free from the limitations of weekly therapy and dive deep into your healing.
If you’re ready to move beyond surviving and embrace transformation, intensive therapy is for you. Here, in these peaceful mountains, we'll use powerful modalities like EMDR, Psychedelics, Brainspotting, and creative expression to accelerate your healing and help you reconnect with your life.
Healing is a personal journey, but you don't have to do it all alone.

Intensive In-Person Therapy
-
Intensive therapy offers a focused and accelerated approach to healing, providing sessions of 3, 6, or 10 hours total, scheduled over 1-2 consecutive days.
This immersive format allows for deeper exploration and processing than traditional weekly sessions, leading to significant progress in a concentrated timeframe.
-
Unlike weekly virtual sessions, intensive therapy in Steamboat Springs offers extended 3-10 hour blocks over 1-2 days for a focused and accelerated healing experience.
This immersive format allows for a much deeper dive into issues, enabling more potent application of modalities like EMDR (including tactile stimulation), Brainspotting, IFS, psychedelics and somatic work. Clients often experience quicker progress due to the concentrated time and personalized approach, facilitating breakthroughs that may take longer in standard virtual therapy.
-
First, schedule a time to chat with me and we will begin exploring your options ☼
Intensive therapy can be particularly beneficial for adults who:
Feel frustrated with the pace of weekly therapy and seek a boost in their healing journey.
Want to jump-start their healing process and immerse themselves in more intensive treatment.
Are actively suffering with grief, trauma, anxiety, or depression but are not in an immediate crisis requiring hospitalization.
Are curious about alternative healing approaches, including the potential role of psychedelics.
Have heard about the effectiveness of EMDR and want to experience its deeper processing capabilities with visual, audio, and tactile bilateral stimulation (often more potent than online formats).
Are seeking to engage in longer, more sustained sets of Brainspotting and EMDR to move beyond initial desensitization and into the installation of more adaptive and positive beliefs.
Are ready to take an active role in their healing and move beyond simply treating symptoms towards a more empowered and resilient way of being.
Have at least one supportive person in their life.
-
Intensive therapy may not be the best fit for individuals who:
Don’t want to actively engage in the therapeutic process (Intensive Therapy is not a passive process).
Have absolutely no support system in place. While even one supportive person can be beneficial, a complete lack of support may make intensive processing more challenging.
Are currently experiencing active psychosis or are actively suicidal with a specific plan and intent. These situations often require more immediate and specialized crisis intervention. (Please call or text 988 for help).
-
I offer intensive therapy blocks of 3 hours, 6 hours, or 10 hours, which can be scheduled over one or two consecutive days, depending on your needs and availability.
We can discuss the best option for your unique situation and goals during your consultation.
-
Intensive therapy sessions are held in my comfortable and private office space located in the beautiful mountains of Steamboat Springs, Colorado.
The serene environment can be a supportive element in your healing process and allows you to feel truly immersed in healing.
You can find photos of my office space around this page.

My goal is that every interested client is able to access this type of therapy, so please contact me if cost is a barrier.
3 hour Intensive - $750
6 hour Intensive - $1,450

Your personalized intensive therapy program includes:
An extensive initial evaluation to understand your history, needs, and goals.
Collaborative treatment planning, incorporating your input and preferences.
Focused intensive therapy sessions utilizing a blend of EMDR (with optional buzzies for visual, audio, and tactile stimulation), Brainspotting, IFS, somatic therapy, and artistic expression.
An Intensive Therapy workbook to support your process before, during, and after the intensive.

-
Your Intensive Therapy workbook is a resource designed to enhance your intensive experience.
It includes prompts for reflection before your intensive, exercises to engage with during sessions, and tools and resources to support integration and continued growth after your intensive, ultimately supporting your empowerment.
We will utilize it together throughout the process.
-
My intensive therapy sessions in Steamboat Springs are tailored to address a range of challenges, including:
grief and loss (bereavement, relationship endings, life transitions),
trauma (single-incident, complex, betrayal),
anxiety, depression, and the impact of these experiences on your overall well-being and relationships.
We can also work with more nebulous material, like:
Existential dread
Disillusionment
Burnout & compassion fatigue for caretakers
Treatment resistant depression
-
My intensive intensives are integrative, meaning we use a blend of evidence-based therapies personalized to your needs, including:
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): To process and reframe distressing memories, often enhanced with physical buzzies for bilateral stimulation (visual, audio, tactile).
Brainspotting: To access and process trauma held in deeper brain regions through focused visual points, allowing for extended and deeper processing.
Psychedelics: If and when appropriate ☼
IFS (Internal Family Systems) Therapy: To understand and heal the different "parts" within you, fostering inner harmony, self-compassion, and empowerment.
Somatic Therapy: Body-centered techniques to release tension and process emotions held physically.
Artistic Expression: Using creative outlets including drawing, doodling, and creating as another way to explore and process emotions and experiences.
-
Intensive therapy prep work will include identifying intentions, goals, expectation, resources and interventions. We will work collaboratively to prepare for your intensive therapy.
Preparation is a critical step in any sort of intensive or psychedelic therapy experience.
-
Following your intensive, we will discuss strategies for integrating your experience and maintaining the progress you've made.
This may include recommendations for ongoing weekly therapy sessions (either with me or another therapist in your area) to further deepen your healing and support long-term well-being and empowerment.
-
Currently, my intensive therapy sessions are offered in person in Steamboat Springs to maximize the focused and immersive experience and to fully utilize modalities like tactile bilateral stimulation and extended Brainspotting/EMDR sets.
However, I do offer virtual grief counseling for 55 and 85 minute sessions and can discuss if an extended virtual format might be suitable for specific needs during a free consultation.
-
The best way to determine if intensive therapy is a good fit is to schedule a complimentary 15-minute consultation :-)
We can discuss your current challenges, your goals for therapy, and whether the intensive format aligns with your needs and preferences.
-
Many clients travel to Steamboat Springs for Intensive Therapy. Taking time away from the normal hustle and bustle is a distinct benefit of intensive therapy over weekly therapy sessions.
Steamboat offers a beautiful and supportive natural environment for healing during all times of the year.
You might be able to plan for your intensive during a family ski trip in the winter. In the summer, Steamboat offers hiking, tubing on the Yampa, exploring waterfalls, mountain biking and other outdoor activities. If adventure traveling isn’t really your thing, Steamboat is also home to a handful of luxury spas, adorable shops, and delicious restaurants.
I will provide you with information on local accommodations and resources to make your stay here as comfortable as possible.
