Therapy Intensives in Denver CO

Are you feeling stuck in weekly therapy and wishing for more progress?

Do you ever leave a session just as you’re getting to the real work—only to wait another week to continue?

Have you tried therapy, medication, and years of hard work—yet still find yourself struggling with symptoms that never fully go away?

Is it hard to carve out time for weekly sessions in the busyness of everyday life?

Would it help to have a focused block of time to go deeper and finally experience a breakthrough?

If so, you’re not alone. Traditional therapy can bring steady progress, but the pace may feel frustratingly slow—especially if you’re ready for change now.

How Therapy Intensives Work—and Who They Can Help

Each intensive begins with a pre-intensive interview and personalized plan so your experience is tailored to your needs. Depending on your goals, we may integrate methods such as EMDR, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Brainspotting, somatic approaches, or Ketamine-Assisted Therapy. Intensives are offered in half-day, full-day, or multi-day formats.

Therapy intensives may be a good fit if you:

• You’ve been in weekly therapy for months or years, but still feel stuck in the same patterns. 
• You’re ready to face trauma, anxiety, or long-standing beliefs head-on, instead of skimming the surface. 
• You find it hard to open up in short sessions, or feel like you’re just getting somewhere when time runs out. 
• Your schedule is tight, and you’d rather carve out focused time than squeeze healing into 50-minute windows. 
• You’re not looking for a quick fix—but you are ready for meaningful change to start now. You want more clarity, more connection, and you don’t want to wait months of weekly sessions to feel it.

Intensives are not about rushing healing. Instead, they create the right conditions for safe, lasting transformation. By staying immersed in the process, you can often accomplish in days what might otherwise take months of weekly therapy.

Types of Therapy Intensives We Offer

Therapy intensives at The Catalyst Center are designed to meet different needs. Whether your focus is trauma, relationships, or personal growth, our team has options to support you.

• Trauma Therapy Intensives – For individuals wanting to resolve trauma, PTSD, or painful past experiences, often incorporating evidence-based modalities such as EMDR and Brainspotting. Many clients appreciate optional add-ons, such as trauma-sensitive yoga and neurofeedback. These intensives are offered as comprehensive packages tailored to your needs and hopes for healing. EMDR-certified and trauma specialsits, Dr. Dorothy Moon offers these intensives as comprehensive packages tailored to your needs and hopes for healing.
• Couples Shared Trauma Therapy Intensives – For partners seeking deeper connection, improved communication, or healing after conflict. These intensives are especially supportive for couples navigating shared traumatic experiences such as birth trauma, the loss of a child, or a serious accident. In an extended, focused format, partners have the space to process grief, rebuild trust, and find resilience together.
• EMDR Intensives – For clients ready to move through trauma and distressing memories more efficiently. These intensives allow extended EMDR sessions in a safe, structured environment, giving you the time to move through memories and reach breakthroughs that may take much longer in weekly therapy. Facilitated by EMDR-certified therapists, they provide a powerful path for trauma resolution.
• IFS Therapy Intensives – For those interested in parts work and inner healing. These intensives provide extended time to explore different aspects of yourself and the roles they play, helping you connect more deeply with your core Self. Many clients find that the longer format allows for meaningful internal shifts that are difficult to achieve in shorter weekly sessions. Guided by IFS-trained clinicians, these intensives create a safe space for deep inner healing.
• Ketamine-Assisted Therapy Intensives – Combining the power of Ketamine Therapy with the immersive format of intensives. Options include either low-dose or psychedelic sessions, and these intensives can also be combined with EMDR or IFS approaches for an even more tailored healing experience.
• Core Belief Transformation Intensives – For individuals ready to release the grip of limiting beliefs—like “I’m not enough” or “I don’t deserve good things”—and reconnect with their inherent worth, strength, and possibility. These intensives are also well-suited for anyone seeking to shift deep-seated beliefs, such as “I’m not enough” or “I’m too much,” and build a new foundation of self-trust.
