Intensive Therapy

Helping Men put the past behind them and finally starting feeling like themselves… fast.

Cut Through the BS and Get Results Fast.

Let's face it—traditional weekly therapy can feel like a slow grind. Though it works, sometimes you need results quickly.

You value your time and intensives maximize your efficiency.

When you're dealing with real challenges and have limited time, you need solutions that move at your pace. My intensive therapy sessions deliver more progress in a day than months of conventional therapy.

These concentrated, extended sessions are specifically designed for men who value efficiency and tangible outcomes. We strip away the fluff and focus on what matters—creating meaningful change in the shortest possible time.

Built for Busy Men Who Need Results

Intensive therapy is particularly effective for men who:

  • Have demanding careers with packed schedules and want practical strategies, not just theoretical insights

  • Who are facing high-stakes decisions in relationships or career and need solutions, not endless talking about problems

  • Value efficiency and measurable progress and don't have months to spend on weekly sessions

Concentrated, high-impact sessions delivering results in days, not months.

  • Men's therapy intensives deliver breakthrough results when you need them most. Instead of the start-stop rhythm of weekly sessions, these concentrated blocks of focused work allow you to tackle challenges head-on and create meaningful change in a fraction of the time.

    Set aside one strategic day to accomplish what might otherwise take months. We'll dive deep into the core issues, develop practical solutions, and build actionable strategies tailored specifically to your situation and goals. This high-impact approach is backed by research and designed for men who value efficiency and tangible outcomes.

    No more surface-level conversations or slow progress. Just focused, results-driven work that respects your time and delivers the change you're looking for.

  • My streamlined approach ensures maximum value with minimal bureaucracy. Here's how we'll work together:

    1. Strategy Call

    A focused 20-minute consultation to determine if intensives match your needs and confirm I'm the right therapist for your situation. We'll map out the optimal length and number of sessions based on your specific challenges and goals.

    2. Direct Assessment

    You'll complete a targeted intake form that cuts straight to what matters—your current challenges, background factors that impact them, and clear objectives for our work together.

    3. Blueprint Session

    A focused 50-minute session where we'll lock in your specific goals, establish concrete metrics to track progress, and finalize our action plan.

    4. Custom Intervention Design

    I'll develop your personalized strategic plan combining evidence-based approaches including CBT, IFS, and ACT—specifically engineered to create meaningful change in minimal time.

    5. Intensive Sessions

    The core work happens in concentrated blocks, delivered either:

    • In-person at my Chico office

    • Online from anywhere in California

    • On-site at your location within the Chico area (additional fees may apply)

    6. Integration Session (Optional)

    A tactical 50-minute follow-up to measure outcomes, reinforce key insights, and ensure you have the tools to maintain momentum and continue progress independently.

I specialize in men’s mental health, first responders, fatherhood, and relationship challenges, helping guys break free from patterns that hold them back. My approach is direct, practical, and focused on real solutions—not endless talk with no action. Traditional therapy can take time—but sometimes, you need real progress, fast. That’s where intensives come in.

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just ready to tackle your challenges head-on, an intensive can help you gain clarity, develop real strategies, and walk away with a plan that works. This is for men who are ready to do the work and make meaningful shifts—without dragging it out for months. If that sounds like what you need, let’s talk.

Hi, I’m Tommy.

Common questions therapy intensives.

  • A Therapy Intensive is a focused, accelerated approach designed to help you make real progress faster. Instead of stretching therapy over months, intensives allow you to dive deep and tackle challenges head-on in a condensed timeframe. In just a few days, you can do the work that might otherwise take months in traditional therapy.

    Think of it as a reset—a chance to step away from daily distractions, unplug, and fully focus on yourself. Whether that means taking time off work, getting a sitter, or even staying in a hotel, this time is yours to heal, reflect, and move forward with clarity.

  • Therapy Intensives are for those who need relief now. If you're ready for change but don’t want to wait months to see progress, an intensive can help you break through barriers and start feeling better, faster. Whether you’re dealing with a specific challenge, past trauma, or ongoing stress, we’ll focus on what matters most to you. This dedicated time is fully customized to your needs and goals, giving you the space to do the deep work and move forward with clarity and confidence.

  • Therapy Intensives are a more effective and efficient alternative to traditional 50-minute sessions. In a standard session, much of the time is spent checking in and wrapping up, leaving only about 30-40 minutes for deep work. In contrast, a 3-hour Therapy Intensive gives you 2.5 hours of focused, uninterrupted progress—the equivalent of five regular sessions or more than a month of therapy in just one day. This extended time allows us to dive deeper, process more, and create lasting change faster.

  • Great question! The length of your Therapy Intensive depends on your goals and what you need to work through. I offer individual sessions ranging from 3-5 hours and multi-day packages (1, 2, 3, or 4 days)—all customized to fit your specific needs. During our consultation, we’ll determine the best format to ensure you get the most out of your intensive. Click here to schedule a free consultation.

The best way to find out is to call the customer service number on the back of your insurance card and ask about your specific plan. During our consultation, I can provide key questions to ask to help you navigate the process.
