NARCISSISTIC ABUSE INTENSIVES IN CHICAGO, ILLINOIS
Similar Services, Longer Sessions
While traditional 50-minute therapy sessions are incredibly valuable, some clients benefit from a longer window to go deeper. Extended or intensive sessions create space for more thorough processing, emotional clarity, and a sense of resolution that’s sometimes harder to reach in shorter appointments.

Therapy intensives allow for deeper exploration and greater continuity—all within a single, longer session.
Emotional abuse recovery intensives can be especially helpful for neurodivergent individuals who prefer a slower, more continuous flow; busy professionals with limited weekly availability; and clients with complex trauma (CPTSD) seeking deeper integration without feeling rushed. Intensives are also a great option for anyone who simply benefits from having more time and space to process.
If you’re looking for a more immersive therapeutic experience, we can talk about whether a longer session format is appropriate and the right fit for your goals. This emerging model of care is gaining popularity for its efficiency and transformative potential. These sessions are becoming a cutting-edge option for those feeling ready to really dive in.
