Therapy Intensives at Creative Healing

You’ve done the work. You’ve been to session after session, maybe even higher levels of care. And yet, something still feels stuck.

Our Therapy Intensives are designed for people who are ready for real movement.
Not just coping, but resolution. Not just hope, but results.

Led by Katie K. May, LPC, DBT-LBC, one of only 11 of Linehan Board Certified DBT therapists in Pennsylvania, these intensives combine evidence-based structure with brain-body healing for clients who are ready to make meaningful progress.

What is a Therapy Intensive?

A Therapy Intensive condenses months of weekly sessions into a single, immersive experience to finally addressing what traditional therapy has not been able to resolve.

You’ll spend a half or full day in focused, supportive work with a therapist who understands the exhaustion that comes from years of treatment and still believes in your capacity to heal deeply.

At Creative Healing, our intensives integrate:

• Brainspotting. A brain-body therapy that releases stored trauma and emotional blocks.

• Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). A rapid, imagery-based approach that rewires distressing memories without reliving them.

• DBT Framework. The structure and containment of Dialectical Behavior Therapy, applied to your goals for stability, self-trust, and relief.

• Somatic and mindfulness grounding. Helping your nervous system return to calm, safety, and connection.

Why Choose an Intensive?

If you’ve already spent years in therapy or treatment programs, you don’t need to start over. You need a space designed for breakthroughs.

Benefits include:

• Achieving months of therapeutic progress in a single day

• Working with a Linehan Board Certified DBT therapist who specializes in complex cases and lasting change

• A clear, structured plan that meets your goals, not another open-ended process

• Integration of trauma resolution with practical, sustainable tools

• Tangible progress you can see and feel

Who are Intensives for?

Ideal for teens and adults who feel weighed down, by past experiences, burnout, or emotional patterns that just won’t release.

Your Intensive Includes:

• Intake & Treatment Planning Session (1 hour)
  We’ll clarify what’s keeping you stuck and build a focused, individualized plan.

• Half-Day or Full-Day Intensive (3 or 6 hours)
  Deep, uninterrupted work using Brainspotting, ART, and DBT strategies to move through long-standing emotional patterns.

• 30-Day Follow-Up Session (1 hour)
  Reinforce progress, review new regulation skills, and sustain your growth.

You can complete your intensive in one day or spread it across multiple sessions, depending on what feels most supportive for your nervous system and schedule.

Half-Day Intensive (5 total hours) – $1,500 package
Full-Day Intensive (8 total hours) – $2,400 package

A 50% deposit is required to reserve your date, with the remaining balance due at completion of your intensive day(s).

To protect the quality of care and depth of this work, Katie offers only two intensives per month.
There is typically a two-month waitlist, and dates are reserved on a first-come basis once the deposit is received.

Is an Intensive Right for Me?

You might be ready for an Intensive if:

• You’ve already done therapy, but something still feels unresolved

• You’re tired of short-term fixes and want lasting change

• You’ve been through higher levels of care and are ready for deeper integration

• You’re stable day-to-day but feel disconnected, flat, or emotionally reactive

• You’re ready for a structured, focused experience that actually moves you forward
