TRAUMA INTENSIVES in Pennsylvania
You know the pattern, so why are
you still stuck?
You’ve told your story. You’ve analyzed your past. You’ve gone to therapy. And yet, nothing feels different. That’s because healing isn’t just about talking, it’s about changing how your body and mind respond to your past.
Is traditional therapy just not cutting it anymore?
Traditional therapy is great, but sometimes it feels like you’re inching forward when what you really need is a breakthrough.
Trauma therapy intensives in Pittsburgh, PA, designed for high-achievers healing from narcissistic abuse, PTSD, anxiety, and toxic relationships.
Get unstuck, for real.
You’ve read the books, done the self-work, and know the red flags…Because here’s the truth: just knowing your patterns doesn’t break them. In just one intensive you can rewire your nervous system, break deep patterns, and finally start living, not just surviving.
Fast-track your healing, because you’re
tired of waiting.
You want change, and you want it now. Individual therapy barely scratches the surface. Meanwhile, you’re still stuck in your head, overanalyzing. One intensive condenses months of therapy into just a few days, creating deep, lasting change that you’ve been looking for.
Stop just talking about it, start healing it.
You’ve told your story. You’ve analyzed it to death. But somehow, it still owns you. That’s because trauma isn’t just a thought, it’s stored in your nervous system. One intensive can help you actually release what’s been keeping you stuck.
You’re in the right place.
You overthink every decision, question your own reality,
and never feel fully sure of yourself.
What is an intensive?
If talking about it was enough, you’d be healed by now.
So, why the hell are you still stuck? Because real healing isn’t just about understanding your trauma, it’s about rewiring how your brain and body respond to it. A trauma intensive is deep, focused therapy designed to get you unstuck, fast. Instead of spending months in therapy, chipping away at the same surface-level patterns, an intensive helps you go straight to the root of your sh*t and start actually changing it.
Think of it as six months of therapy condensed into a few powerful sessions. No fluff. No waiting around for breakthroughs. Just real, deep work that shifts what’s been keeping you stuck. This is for you if you’re tired of repeating the same cycles, overthinking every decision, and feeling like you “get it” but nothing ever actually changes.

faqs
Other intensive questions? I’ve got answers.
-
Short Answer: Yes, if talking about your trauma was enough, you’d already be healed. Trauma intensives go deeper, faster, and actually rewire how your brain and nervous system respond.
The Truth: Traditional therapy is great, but let’s be real, it moves slow. One hour a week barely scratches the surface. A trauma intensive compresses months (or even years) of work into just a few days, giving you the breakthroughs you’ve been waiting for.
What Clients Say: Many people walk away from an intensive saying, “This changed my life.” Because when you stop just talking about your trauma and start healing it, everything shifts. -
Short Answer: We go at your pace. This isn’t about drowning you in emotions, it’s about healing in a way that feels safe, structured, and actually effective.
The Truth: Trauma intensives aren’t about dumping everything out at once and leaving you raw. We work with your nervous system, using IFS, trauma processing, and regulation techniques to make sure you feel supported every step of the way.
What Clients Say: “I was nervous it would be too much, but for the first time, I processed things without feeling like I was unraveling. I felt lighter, like I could finally breathe again.” -
Short Answer: If therapy alone was enough, you wouldn’t still feel stuck. Trauma intensives go beyond just talking, they rewire how you experience and respond to your trauma.
The Truth: Traditional therapy is great for maintenance, but if you’re stuck in self-awareness mode (knowing your patterns but still repeating them), you need deeper work. A trauma intensive shifts the emotional and nervous system responses keeping you trapped so you can finally move forward.
What Clients Say: “I learned more about myself in two days than I did in two years of weekly therapy.” -
Short Answer: If you feel stuck, exhausted, and like no amount of “talking about it” is making a difference, a trauma intensive might be exactly what you need.
The Truth: This is for you if:
1. You see the red flags but still fall into the same toxic patterns.
2. You’ve spent years in therapy but don’t feel different.
3. You wake up anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in overthinking.
4. You know you need a breakthrough but don’t know how to get there.
What Clients Say: “I went from feeling stuck in my head 24/7 to finally calm, for the first time in years.” -

Short Answer: If nothing changes, nothing changes. If therapy alone hasn’t helped you break free, an intensive might be the missing piece.
The Truth: Healing takes work, but waiting and hoping things will magically get better on their own? That’s the real risk. A trauma intensive isn’t just an investment in therapy, it’s an investment in finally feeling different, thinking differently, and living differently.
What Clients Say: “I hesitated because I wasn’t sure it would be worth it. But now? I’d pay double. Nothing has ever worked like this.”
Here’s My Guarantee: If you show up, do the work, and don’t feel like you’ve gained real breakthroughs from your intensive, I’ll personally work with you to figure out what’s missing and help you move forward, because I refuse to let you stay stuck.
