Let's work Intensively

Ashley Jopling is a Brainspotting, EMDR, and ART psychotherapist offering intensive therapy for clients ready to experience expansion.

Targeting your limbic system

In our intensive therapy sessions, we don't just talk; we access the deepest parts of your brain—the subcortical, limbic system, where feelings and frozen trauma reside. Picture a journey into the depths of your mind, a sharp right turn from traditional talk therapies that aim to align your thinking brain. Here, we connect with your unconscious, bringing it into your conscious awareness, and sometimes sending it back to the unconscious—a fascinating dance akin to dreaming while awake. You're making an intentional choice to be here, to work on this thing, and together we'll work with your brain's healing system.

Transforming Therapy for Your Needs

Our intensive therapy sessions, lasting 90 minutes or 1/2 a day, offer a shift from the 45 minutes of traditional weekly talk therapy to a consolidated, planned approach. This model is thoughtfully tailored to your unique lifestyle, providing greater flexibility and alignment with what's currently emerging in your journey. The extended time allows for a more comprehensive and immersive therapeutic experience, ensuring you receive the depth and support you deserve.

When you tap into the realm of possibility, you unleash a transformational power to make bold moves and profound changes in your life.

Time and space to dive deep

What you need and want, and who you are matter.

We start with a deep discovery dive

We start with a deep dive in discovery. Our first meeting is a exploration of your life, symptoms, beliefs, and aspirations.

Prior to our session, there’s some paperwork to ensure I truly understand your unique journey. From the very start, we’ll discuss your goals and what you want to achieve during our time together. Think of this initial session as a lifetime evaluation—a roadmap to your dream life. Everything is on the table, from performance goals to relationships, sexuality, public speaking, and rediscovering the joy in life. Share your core values and where you want to see them come alive. How do you want to thrive? There are no limits, and if I believe something isn’t feasible, I’ll be upfront about it. Let your wildest ambitions flow.

Types of Intensive Sessions

Designed for you at an intensive speed and length that makes all the difference:

90 Minute Intensives: We typically meet weekly and once you’ve made progress, we’ll reduce session frequency from weekly to a schedule that suits your comfort level. You may decide you’re ready to graduate, or you might prefer occasional tune-up sessions.

Half Day Intensive: The weekly model of therapy is changing and intensives offer you the flexibility to match your lifestyle. 3 hours in session with suggested outside of session decompression activities + 1 hour integration session the following week.

1/2 Day Sample Agenda:

10-11:30 am Discovery Deep Dive

11:30-12:30 Lunch

12:30-2 pm Intensive Processing

Sessions are all about addressing what’s most important to you. While we can set an agenda, we’ll follow your lead and focus on what resonates and emerges. We adapt to your unique system—your goals, your nervous system, your needs. My agenda is your agenda.

Tune-up sessions

Tune-up sessions are for clients who’ve already done the work and want to process emerging issues, glimmers, and expansion opportunities. These can occur as needed, whether it’s once a month, every quarter, or even annually. We set up impromptu sessions as needed.

Graduation is the goal

The ultimate goal is for you to graduate from therapy, not to become dependent on weekly sessions. It’s about reclaiming the life you love, becoming the person you can truly stand behind, and thriving on your terms.
