Why Fall Is a Great Time to Start Therapy
Fall offers the perfect mix of structure, calm, and daylight to support meaningful therapy work. In this season, your nervous system naturally becomes more receptive to change—making it easier to build consistency, regulate, and reset before winter stress hits. Using EMDR, IFS, and Sensorimotor therapy, we can map your patterns, stabilize your body, and reprocess old pain so you feel lighter and more grounded. Whether through weekly sessions or focused Intensives, starting now helps real progress take root.
Can I Keep My Current Therapist and Still Do a Therapy Intensive?
If you’ve spent any time on therapy websites or mental health social media, you’ve probably seen ads for therapy intensives – half‑day or multi‑day deep‑dive sessions that promise big shifts in a short amount of time. People sometimes ask me, “Can I keep seeing my regular therapist and still do an intensive?” The short answer is yes. Intensives can be a powerful complement to your ongoing therapy, but there are some important things to consider. In this post I’ll explain how intensives fit into your healing journey, how to collaborate with your current therapist, and how to navigate dual support ethically and effectively.
You Don’t Have to Hit Rock Bottom to Need Therapy
There’s a common myth that therapy is only for people in deep crisis. That you have to be actively unraveling, unable to cope, or recovering from an acute event before seeking help.
But therapy isn’t just about surviving—it’s about expanding what’s possible for your life and your relationships.
In the same way you don’t wait until your teeth are falling out to visit a dentist, you don’t have to wait for total burnout or breakdown to begin caring for your emotional well-being.
