Part 2 | Inside the Intensive: Modalities That Make Healing Stick

Not all therapy intensives are created equal—and that’s a good thing.
Each person’s nervous system, history, and healing goals are unique, which is why I tailor every intensive to the individual.

At Trauma Wise Healing, intensives weave together bottom-up approaches (that calm the body and regulate the nervous system) and top-down approaches (that bring clarity, understanding, and integration). Before beginning, I use a blend of conversation and clinical screeners—like the PHQ-15, PCL-5, GAD-7, DES-II, ACE, MID v6, and SDQ-20—to get a clear picture of what your brain and body need.

From there, we create a plan that combines evidence-based modalities like EMDR, ART, Somatic Therapy, Parts Work, and CBT/DBT skills—so your brain and body can finally work with each other, not against each other.

When the nervous system feels safe, healing can finally stick.
