What Is a Trauma Intensive?

A trauma intensive is a focused therapeutic experience designed to help individuals process and heal from painful or overwhelming experiences in a more concentrated and immersive way than traditional therapy.

Each intensive is customized to meet the needs and goals of the individual. Our specialized farm setting allows us to incorporate Equine-Assisted Therapy throughout the process (based on client preference). Intensives may also integrate Brainspotting, a powerful method for treating trauma that helps the brain and body process unresolved experiences.

Through extended time, intentional pacing, and focused care, our therapists help clients accelerate healing by identifying key themes in their stories—often beginning with a trauma timeline and working toward resolution and restoration.

Guiding Principles

At the heart of every intensive is a commitment to safety, trust, and collaboration.

You and your therapist will work together to identify what you need to feel physically and emotionally safe. Boundaries and guidelines are established together, with the freedom to adjust as needed throughout your time.

Your therapist will also help you understand your window of tolerance—the range in which you can process emotions safely—and create ways to communicate when that window has been reached.

Your safety and sense of control remain the top priority at every step. You are encouraged to be transparent at any moment you feel unsafe or overwhelmed.

Why Here

Nature’s Calm
The setting itself is part of the therapy. Gentle breezes, open pastures, and the presence of horses invite you to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with yourself.

Equine-Assisted Therapy
Our horses are intuitive partners in the healing process, offering insight and connection beyond words. Their calm presence helps clients access emotions, courage, and authenticity.

Focused Time
Two immersive days allow for deeper breakthroughs that might take months in weekly sessions. You’ll have time to reflect, rest, and integrate what emerges.

Experienced Care
Our licensed therapists specialize in trauma, burnout, grief, and restoration for both individuals and those in ministry or helping professions.

Optional Spiritual Integration
For those who wish, we gently weave Christian faith and soul care into the experience—creating space for both psychological and spiritual renewal.
