    Our Core Philosophy and Methodological Approach

    At Intensive Therapy Retreats in Ottawa, ON, effective therapy must be as unique and multifaceted as the individuals we serve. Our approach transcends traditional therapy models by focusing on intensive, short-duration treatments that delve deep into the heart of trauma. This method enables us to facilitate accelerated healing, empowering our clients to reclaim their lives with confidence and resilience.


    Distinguished Therapeutic Modalities

    Our selection of specialized therapeutic modalities is meticulously curated for their efficacy in addressing the wide spectrum of trauma and PTSD. Delivered through personalized one-on-one sessions, these therapies ensure that every client receives the attentive care necessary for deep, transformative healing.

    EMDR Therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): A pivotal element of our treatment offerings, EMDR therapy facilitates the processing of traumatic memories, significantly diminishing their impact on emotional well-being. This advanced therapeutic technique is celebrated for its capacity to foster substantial emotional recovery.

    IFS Therapy (Internal Family Systems): Offering a transformative journey through the self, IFS therapy aids clients in healing by recognizing and reconciling the various parts of their psyche affected by trauma. This approach engenders self-awareness and emotional equilibrium, pillars of holistic healing.

    ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy): Specially designed for rapid therapeutic progress, ART merges multiple psychotherapeutic techniques to help clients swiftly move past trauma-induced psychological distress. It’s particularly beneficial for those seeking immediate relief and substantial progress. ART also incorporates art therapy, which has proven highly effective in delivering rapid results for clients dealing with trauma and mental health challenges.

    The retreat has changed my life. I had a major breakthrough about my childhood that gave me the validation and logic that I needed I have not gotten triggered by anything since the retreat; no physiological response such as heart pounding, chest tightness, rage I have neutral energy and created better boundaries with my mother

    I just wanted to express how grateful I am for the clarity you’ve brought to my life. Feels like I’ve truly woken up from being brainwashed. I can start to live MY life now.

    I really felt cared for and appreciated your ability to connect and also share insights, humor, and to think outside the box.

    D.C.

    I don’t know that I’ve ever felt more seen by anyone than I did with Brian. Through working with him I felt truly strong and able to live my life fully for possibly the first time. I feel like all my pieces have been put back together into a shape that feels good to inhabit.

    G.B.

    Brian was fantastic! I had strong hesitations about working with a male therapist, but he far exceeded my expectations. Although the treatment itself was quite intense and emotional, it was a pleasure to work with someone as patient, gentle, compassionate, intuitive, and non-judgmental.

    A.E.

    Brian helped me immensely. He was patient, knowledgeable and kind. Brian gave me many useful tips that I still use today. The EMDR seemed to help immediately for me. It felt like real closure once the session was done.

    L.O.

    I am filled with gratitude for the experience because it helped jumpstart my healing process and connect me to pieces of myself I had completely lost. I was only able to have this transformative experience because of the work of Brian.

    S.A.

    As someone who has suffered from debilitating trauma, traditional forms of behavioral therapy were a frustratingly ill fit. The practice of EMDR as administered by Brian, a thoughtful and holistic practitioner, feels comparatively like a miracle.

    R.A.

    By taking the teeth from my most traumatic experiences I have made room to usher in a clarity I never thought could be available to me.

    G.R.
