Led exclusively by practice founder Danielle B. Wald, LMHC, intensives offer extended sessions, focused treatment planning, and the space to move through important work with depth and momentum.
A Focused and Accelerated Therapy Experience
Intensives by Integrative Psych are offered on a limited, by-request basis and are customized to your specific goals and clinical needs.
This format allows you to do the kind of meaningful therapeutic work that can take months in traditional weekly therapy — in a structured, supportive two-day experience.
Most intensives take place over approximately 6 hours across a two-day period, with pacing and breaks designed to support integration and emotional regulation.
A Founder-Led, Customized Experience
All intensives are facilitated by Danielle B. Wald, LMHC, ensuring:
- A highly specialized and cohesive clinical experience
- Advanced treatment planning
- A deeply personalized approach
- Continuity from start to finish
Because of the level of preparation and care involved, intensive offerings are limited.

Current Intensive Offerings
This format is especially helpful for couples who are:
- Navigating infidelity or breaches of trust
- Experiencing high levels of conflict
- Feeling stuck in recurring patterns
- Unable to attend weekly sessions due to scheduling demands
Extended sessions allow couples to move beyond surface-level conversations and into the deeper work of rebuilding trust, improving communication, and restoring emotional connection.
Depending on your needs, this may include EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) along with preparation, resourcing, and integration to ensure the work feels safe, contained, and effective.
Designed for individuals who are ready to focus directly on trauma in a structured and supportive way, this intensive allows for meaningful processing over a short period of time.

Frequently Asked Questions
You've Got Questions, We've Got Answers.
How do I know if a therapy intensive is right for me?
Intensives are ideal for individuals or couples who are ready for focused, meaningful change and prefer a condensed format rather than weekly sessions. They are especially helpful for time-sensitive concerns, complex challenges, or schedules that make ongoing weekly therapy difficult.
How are intensives different from regular therapy sessions?
Instead of meeting for 50 minutes each week, intensives take place over extended sessions across two days. This allows us to build momentum, go deeper into the work, and make significant progress in a shorter period of time.
How do I prepare for an intensive?
Every intensive begins with a pre-intensive consultation and planning process. We clarify your goals, gather background information, and design a structure that feels focused, supportive, and personalized to your needs.
What happens after the intensive is complete?
You’ll leave with clear insights, practical tools, and personalized recommendations for next steps. Some clients choose to return to traditional therapy for ongoing support, while others use the intensive as a standalone experience to move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
