Sometimes weekly therapy isn’t the right container.

Not because you’re too much,

but because what you’re moving through needs

dedicated, focused time and care.

Therapy intensives are extended, focused work over 2-3 consecutive days, designed for people who want to move through something substantial without starting over every week.

Your intensive actually begins before you arrive in Angola.

It starts with a thorough, intentionally designed intake process.

Jessica’s intake paperwork is not a formality—it’s part of the work. It’s designed to help us identify the roots of what you’re dealing with, not just the surface symptoms. Jessica reviews this material carefully and begins shaping a treatment plan before we ever meet.

This front-loading allows us to use our time together wisely—and deeply.

When we meet, the first hour is spent solidifying the treatment focus and therapeutic plan, rather than orienting or gathering basic history.

From there, we move through the process of processing and integration naturally, with fewer interruptions along the way.

The goal is not intensity for intensity’s sake.

The goal is continuity—so your nervous system can settle, stay engaged, and move through what it’s ready to process.

If you’re considering extended processing, we’ll assess readiness together and determine whether this format is the right fit for where you are now
