At Indigena Wellness, we truly understand that traditional hour-long sessions just don't always work for everyone or intensive healing work may be desired. That's where our unique Intensive Retreats come in handy! Imagine having the time and space for a dive deep in your healing journey, surrounded by compassionate support, tailored to your needs, and in a beautiful healing space. Intensives offer a personalized and immersive experience, allowing you to tackle those core issues with the dedicated time they deserve. So, if you're ready to take a leap towards meaningful progress and deeper healing, we invite you to explore this unique opportunity. Your journey to wellness is just a retreat away! 

​

Intensives can also be designed as a personalized retreat based on your needs.  Whether you come ready to focus and to do deeper work on an issue or life pattern or for more of a wellness process, we can design your day. It is a way to dedicate time for your healing from a challenging issue or a day of self care without the the limits of time. This enhanced focus allows the process to go deeper into the roots of a challenging issue to promote increased symptom reduction.

​

For a therapy intensive, we would complete an initial assessment to get to know one another and determine if moving forward with an intensive would be the best approach for working with your area of concern/issue.  

We would decide together how much time you may desire to work with the issue or would like to spend on processing the issue (up to 6 hours in a day for one or multiple days in a row and what treatments you'd like incorporated).  

Some issues where a person might consider intensives are:

• PTSD

• substance abuse/addictions

• grief

• racial and generational trauma

• anxiety and depression that are trauma related

• longstanding core issues

• issues which have been challenging to resolve in weekly therapy 

• Your schedule is so busy and demanding that a weekly therapy appointment feels more overwhelming than supportive.

• You don’t want to be on a wait list for long periods before you can be seen.

• You feel like you may struggle between sessions and/or are feeling blocked.

• Would like to try an approach where talk is less prioritized & body experience is included

• Want to explore somatic (bottom up) approach to trauma resolution

Improved Communication

​

Intensives can also be self care, wellness, and burnout prevention focused.  Wellness Intensives are thus also available which do not incorporate somatic psychotherapy.  They can include vibroacoustic therapy, polychromatic light therapy, craniosacral therapy, tremor release exercises, ear seeding & sound therapy.  There is also a far infrared sauna that incorporates : halotherapy, aromatherapy, chromotherapy, & sound therapy all in one unit at Indigena Wellness Center in Auburn.  These services can be added into a somatic psychotherapy intensive or offered separately into a wellness day intensive.  ​
