Individual Intensives: A Path to Deep Healing

For neuro-affirmative support as you prepare for your KAP journey, check out Candice Christiansen's easy-to-read book, Compassionate KAP: Creating Neuro-Affirmative "Set and Settings" In Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy. Also, Ketamine is not appropriate for everyone. Medical assessment is needed to determine suitability, risks, and treatment planning. Contact us to learn more about KAP.
Why an Intensive?
We know that for the neurodifferent mind, "once-a-week" therapy can feel like a constant cycle of catching up. An intensive offers enough time, structure, and support to stay unmasked for the deeper work to unfold. In five to ten days, we provide an entire support ecosystem—licensed clinicians, holistic providers, and a psychoneuroimmunological approach—to change the trajectory of your life.
Our Clinical Roadmap
Pioneered for High-Complexity Neurotypes
Your neurotype, mental health history, and experiences shape your care. We support individuals navigating Autism, ADHD, AuDHD, NVLD, PTSD, C-PTSD, DID, Borderline, Narcissistic traits, OCD, and Bipolar, as well as those healing from intimate betrayal and intimate partner violence.
Neuro-Affirmative IFS & IFIO
Internal Family Systems and Intimacy from the Inside Out help explore the inner world, strengthen self-leadership, and build safer relational patterns.
The Love, Sex, and Autism Framework
Insights from Candice Christiansen’s book inform work with individuals and couples, providing tools for sensory safety and rebuilding sexual identity unique to your neurotype.
Psychoneuroimmunology & Autonomic Regulation
We explore the connections between stress, trauma, the nervous system, and immune function, to de-activate chronic survival mode and cultivate ventral vagal safety.
A Specialized Approach
Our work with compulsive behaviors and intimacy concerns considers dopamine-seeking, emotional regulation, and justice sensitivity through a neuro-aware purview.
Our Methodology
A Neuro-Affirmative Approach
The Healing Environment
A cozy cottage environment, with tea and coffee, nourishing lunches, weighted blankets, stim toys, soft lighting, and other details meant to soothe the senses and support regulation.
Clinical Foundations & Frameworks
A neuro-affirmative model blending IFS, IFIO, and Polyvagal mapping to identify danger cues, cultivate "glimmers" of ventral vagal safety, validate justice sensitivity, and reclaim autonomy following betrayal trauma.
Holistic & Somatic Integration
Translating cognitive breakthroughs into the physiology through Conscious Connection Breathwork, Somatic IFS for legacy burdens, and adapted Task-Based recovery models.
Specialized Neuro-Education
Ongoing advocacy and resources for distinguishing biological neurodifferences (Autism, ADHD, OCD, Tourette’s) from trauma-induced adaptations (PTSD, behavioral addictions, substance use).
