Accelerated Therapy
When You’re Ready to Go Deep
At Rose Matrix Counseling, I offer custom Brainspotting Intensives and IFS Therapy Intensives designed to help you process trauma, release anxiety, and move through emotional blocks that weekly therapy hasn’t touched.
Whether you're a therapist, creative, or high-achieving neurodivergent adult, these intensives are built to help you heal faster and more efficiently, without sacrificing depth or safety.
Available in-person in Chandler, Arizona and virtually across Arizona and Michigan, this is a powerful, somatic-based option for those seeking breakthrough emotional healing.
So what is a Therapy Intensive?
A therapy intensive is a structured, short-term deep dive that condenses the work of months into one or two highly focused sessions. It’s ideal for clients who want to resolve persistent trauma symptoms, move through stuck emotional patterns, or fast-track their healing using Brainspotting and Internal Family Systems (IFS).
Unlike weekly therapy, intensives allow for:
Sustained emotional focus without disruption
Full nervous system engagement in a single session
Faster breakthroughs for trauma, anxiety, and performance blocks
If you’ve plateaued in traditional therapy, or you simply don’t have time for long-term weekly work, therapy intensives are a time-efficient, evidence-informed alternative.
How Brainspotting & IFS Intensives Work
Each intensive includes:
80-minute intake session (virtual or in-person) to set goals and prepare
3-hour Intensive Block using Brainspotting and IFS-based somatic work
30-minute integration session to debrief, ground, and process what’s shifted
Additional 3-hour blocks can be added as needed based on your goals and nervous system capacity. Sessions are available in-person in Chandler, AZ, or virtually throughout Arizona and Michigan

I WANT YOU TO KNOW
CHANGE IS POSSIBLE
Let’s explore whether a Brainspotting Intensive is the next step in your healing.
But what makes this approach so effective?
-
Brainspotting (BSP) is a mind-body therapy grounded in the premise that “where you look affects how you feel,” offering access to deeply held sensorimotor and relational trauma. A 2022 study published in Archives of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy found that three BSP sessions with women experiencing severe PTSD produced large effect-sizes and shifted many participants from “markedly elevated” symptoms to absent to mild symptom levels—even at a short-term follow-up. Brainspotting This research underscores how Brainspotting supports nervous-system regulation and helps clients move beyond stuck patterns toward greater emotional freedom and resilience.
-
Research supports IFS as an effective approach for trauma recovery and emotional integration. For example, a 2022 peer-reviewed study published in the Journal of Aggression, Maltreatment & Trauma found that IFS treatment was associated with significant improvements in trauma symptoms and overall well-being (Anderson et al., 2022).
This approach honors your inner system’s wisdom and helps you reconnect with a deeper sense of calm, clarity, and self-leadership.
Together, these approaches offer deep somatic and emotional healing, especially for neurodivergent adults, high achievers, and clients with complex trauma
“In the cocoon of Brainspotting Intensives, we undergo metamorphosis, shedding the weight of our past to emerge anew, with wings of resilience and a heart adorned with the colors of healing.”

UNDERSTANDING THE INVESTMENT
Weekly Therapy vs. Intensives
Healing takes time — and it’s also an investment of emotional, energetic, and financial resources.
Many people work with a therapist weekly over the course of one or more years, which can be a powerful and steady path for growth. Others find that concentrated, extended sessions help them reach meaningful breakthroughs more quickly.
For example, ongoing weekly therapy (around $250 per session) over the course of two years often totals more than $20,000.
By contrast, an intensive model offers the same depth of work in a shorter timeframe — typically through extended, focused sessions designed for deep processing and integration.
A typical three-block intensive series is about $3,150 total — which includes the initial intake and first intensive block ($1,350) and two additional 3-hour blocks ($900 each).
For some clients, that concentrated investment of time and attention leads to faster integration and long-term savings, both financially and emotionally. The best choice depends on your goals, readiness, and nervous system capacity — and we’ll explore that together during your discovery call.
Frequently Asked Questions
Brainspotting & IFS Intensives
-
Yes. Brainspotting Intensives are a great adjunct to your existing therapy. Many of my clients continue working with their primary therapist and use intensives to accelerate specific goals or address deeper blocks. With your permission, I can collaborate with your provider for seamless care.
-
Brainspotting is often described as more intuitive and somatic. While EMDR is structured around memory reprocessing, Brainspotting allows the body and brain to lead the healing process with less cognitive engagement. It’s especially well suited for neurodivergent clients or those with complex trauma.
-
These extended sessions are usually scheduled toward the end of the week to give you space to process, rest, and integrate before returning to daily responsibilities. I’m also able to offer select weekdays if that better fits your needs. You can choose a morning or afternoon start time based on what feels most supportive for your energy. For those traveling from out of town, we can coordinate timing to make your trip as smooth as possible. Virtual intensive sessions are also available for clients in Arizona and Michigan, allowing you to do this powerful work from the comfort of your own space.
-
Yes, Brainspotting and IFS can be a valuable tool to help bolster performance in sports and the creative arts, such as singing, acting, music composition, and more. Reach out to learn more about using an intensive to address the “yips” and performance anxiety freeing you to let your talents truly shine!
-
Packages begin at $1350, which includes the intake session, one 3-hour intensive, and a 30-minute integration session. Additional 3-hour intensives are $900 each. Payment plans are available, with full payment due prior to the start of your intensive. Flexible options through PayPal and Stripe make it easier to invest in this work while protecting your financial comfort.
-
It depends on your goals and nervous system capacity. Most clients can make significant progress on a single focus area in 1–2 blocks. We’ll discuss this during your intake session and adjust as needed.
-
Yes. I provide virtual Brainspotting Intensives to clients anywhere in Arizona or Michigan, using secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth.
-
Absolutely. My practice is neurodiversity-affirming and tailored for adults who want support without masking or pathologizing. Brainspotting and IFS help clients build emotional regulation, reduce anxiety, and reconnect with parts of themselves that have been shut down by overwhelm or burnout.
-
Yes. Both Brainspotting and IFS are evidence-informed, trauma-focused therapies with growing research support.
• Brainspotting: A 2022 study published in the Archives of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy found that just three Brainspotting sessions led to large reductions in PTSD symptoms — moving many participants from “markedly elevated” to “absent or mild” symptom levels (Palsimon et al., 2022).
• Internal Family Systems (IFS): A 2022 study in the Journal of Aggression, Maltreatment & Trauma reported significant improvements in trauma symptoms and emotional regulation after IFS treatment (Anderson et al., 2022).
While everyone’s process is unique, these findings reflect the effectiveness of integrative, neuroscience-informed therapies for trauma healing.
