As a therapist, I have found that often times clients need more than a one-hour session to begin to truly feel safe and grounded enough to do their real work.
Intensives are designed to allow clients to dive deeper into their story, and the healing process, in a more focused manner. This provides opportunities to truly engage with shame, trauma, and ultimately wellness in a shorter timeframe. Many people equate a four-day intensive to a year and a half of weekly one-hour sessions. During an intensive, we work with clients for six to seven hours a day, for two to six days. Each intensive is curated to the specific needs of the client(s).
You do not need to be an ongoing client of Haven Wellness to attend an intensive.

What People Are Saying
“Courtney was amazing! I felt comfortable with her right away. Courtney's unwavering ability to connect with compassion helped me step into the work necessary for my healing. Courtney's brilliant education and awareness of how we, as humans, tend to show up in the world was both enlightening and validating. I regained the gift of hope and left feeling as if I had a clear direction of what action steps to take in order to live a more fulfilled life.”

“She speaks Black girl spirit and psych ed and common sense. I’m quite sure without her guidance, I would still be resigned to being a victim and enabler of my own savage conditions. She’s helped me transition to a new definition of self. The intensive we completed has positioned me to cultivate my wellness on new ground. And I really love that for me”

“I met Courtney at a fellowship week for poets of color. I was at a place where my trauma was so loudly trapped in my body, I was wrecked with somatic pain. Reaching out to Courtney was my Hail Mary. She caught me and held space for me in the way I needed.”
