What is a Custom Therapy Intensive?

Vine + Root Intensives provide a therapy experience designed for focused progress. Instead of spreading the work across months of weekly sessions, clients engage in a structured, consecutive, multi-day process guided by a dedicated therapist. Our targeted approach is designed to work towards resolution and equip you with tools for lasting relief.

Each client is paired with a primary clinician who leads the entire intensive experience. Before arriving, your therapist will conduct a consultation call to understand your goals and prepare a structured plan to maximize your time.

Where To Start the Intensive Process

The first step is contacting our team to schedule a consultation call. During this call we will discuss your goals, and answer questions about the intensive format, and determine whether an intensive is the right fit.

Once scheduled, your therapist will help guide you through preparing for your visit. Logistical items such as, lodging, travel, and local accommodations, will also be discussed.

While intensives and weekly outpatient therapy are both beneficial, some clients may prefer the intensive experience that can cover up to six months of outpatient visits in a matter of days.

Custom Intensives

What a Custom Intensive Schedule Looks Like

While every Vine + Root intensive is customized to the needs of the individual or couple, most intensives follow a consistent daily framework that allows for focused therapeutic work within a structured timeframe. Intensives are typically scheduled over 3–5 consecutive days, with sessions running from 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM each day. A one-hour lunch break is built into the schedule along with additional short breaks as needed throughout the day. All Vine + Root intensives take place in person at our clinic in Searcy, Arkansas. Clients travel from all across the nation to work with our Intensive team.

Throughout the intensive, clients work with the same primary clinician each day, allowing for continuity, deeper insight, and a more cohesive therapeutic process. Our team invests in extensive training so you can invest in your healing. Our intensive team has trainings ranging from: EMDR, Certified Sex Addiction Therapists, Brainspotting, IFS-Informed, Certified Trauma Training, EFT, CMAT, and more.

Common Situations Where Therapy Intensives
Can Help

While every Vine + Root intensive is customized to the needs of the individual or couple, there are several situations where the intensive format can be especially helpful. Many clients pursue intensives when patterns of trauma, relational conflict, or emotional distress have become difficult to resolve through traditional weekly therapy.

Below is a non-exhaustive list of areas that are often addressed through our therapy intensives. Our team can help determine whether an intensive is appropriate or guide you toward the right level of care.

  • Failure to Launch
  • Childhood Trauma
  • Grief and Loss
  • Parenting with a United Front
  • Spiritual Wounds or Spiritual Trauma
  • Marital Communication and Relationship Dynamics
  • Intense Traumatic Experiences
  • Betrayal Trauma and Affair Recovery
  • Anxiety and Panic
  • Complex Trauma. (C-PTSD)
  • Codependency and Boundary Repair
  • Burnout and Emotional Exhaustion

Equine Therapy Add-On

For some clients, incorporating equine therapy into an intensive can provide a powerful, experiential layer to work. These sessions offer a unique opportunity to engage relational patterns, emotional awareness, and regulation in a way that is difficult to replicate in traditional office settings. The following are some benefits of the equine add-on:

Experience real-time feedback through interaction with horses

Increase awareness of relational patterns and nonverbal communication

Practice emotional regulation in a dynamic, experiential environment

Engage trust, boundaries, and connection in a tangible way

Reinforce insights gained during clinical sessions

Equine sessions are not a replacement for clinical therapy, but a complimentary experience that can deepen and reinforce the work being done throughout your intensive. When appropriate, this add-on can help translate internal insight into lives, relational change. Equine therapy sessions are offered through our work at Encounter at New Canaan Ranch and can be integrated into your experience when clinically appropriate.
