Intensive Therapy

Intensive therapy is a focused type of mental health care. Instead of one short appointment each week, intensive therapy gives you longer or less frequent therapy sessions. These sessions generally last from 2 to 4 hours, allowing people to go deeper into their healing journey.

This approach is helpful for people who are facing serious mental health issues, trauma, substance abuse, or relationship struggles. Intensive therapy creates a safe, supportive space to explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors with licensed counselors and therapists.

Intensive & Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy

Our practice offers intensive therapy sessions designed for individuals, couples, and polycules who want to dive deeper into personal growth, relational work, and emotional healing. Led by a MAPS-trained therapist, we provide a safe, trauma-informed, and affirming space to explore intense or transformative experiences, whether in alternative lifestyles, queer relationships, or traditional partnerships.

Intensive Therapy Sessions

For clients who prefer to move beyond weekly hour-long sessions, we offer longer, focused sessions that allow for deeper exploration and processing. Intensives can help you:

  • Gain clarity on complex relationship or personal dynamics

  • Address trauma, anxiety, or life transitions more efficiently

  • Work deeply on patterns, boundaries, and emotional regulation

  • Integrate insights from previous therapy or transformative experiences

Session lengths can be customized based on your goals, including 50-minute, 2-hour, or half-day sessions, and are available in-person or virtually.

Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy Support

As a MAPS-trained therapist, we provide professional guidance and integration support for psychedelic experiences. While MDMA and Pscilocybin are not legally administered in Utah, Florida or Idaho, we provide preparation, guidance, and integration sessions :

MDMA Therapy

  • For individuals, couples, or thruples who have accessed MDMA in legal contexts elsewhere.

  • Sessions are 4-8 hours, depending on client needs, and support relational or personal growth.

Psilocybin Therapy Support

  • For individuals who have engaged with psilocybin in legal or clinical contexts.

  • Sessions typically last 4-6 hours and focus on processing, insight integration, and emotional healing.

RoXiva® Light Therapy — Drug-Free Altered State Facilitation (click for more info)

For clients drawn to the depth of psychedelic-assisted work but seeking a substance-free pathway, we offer RoXiva® light sessions — a clinically guided, non-invasive approach to accessing the deep theta brainwave states where trauma heals, insights emerge, and integration deepens.

Using precision-calibrated stroboscopic light and immersive sound, the RoXiva® RX1 guides your nervous system into altered states of consciousness naturally and safely — no substances required. Most clients experience vivid inner imagery, profound relaxation, and a felt openness that goes beyond what talk therapy alone can reach. Every session includes intention-setting before and integration processing after, keeping the experience therapeutically grounded.

RoXiva® may be right for you if you:

  • Want to deepen psychedelic integration work between medicine sessions

  • Are curious about altered states but prefer not to use substances

  • Feel stuck in talk therapy and want a somatic, non-verbal path into healing

  • Are working through trauma, anxiety, or nervous system dysregulation

Sessions are 60 minutes and available in-person at our Salt Lake City office.

Not recommended for individuals with photosensitive epilepsy, seizure disorders, or active psychosis. Please disclose relevant medical history during your consultation.

Ketamine-Assisted Therapy (click for more info)

  • We collaborate with clients’ prescribers to provide individual sessions ranging from 50 minutes to 2 hours.

  • Sessions can be virtual, in-person, or in-clinic depending on the administration method, including nasal ketamine, troches, injectables, or IV.

  • Ketamine therapy can support deep processing, emotional regulation, trauma work, and relational healing.

Who We Help

We support clients of all genders, sexual orientations, and relationship styles—including traditional monogamous couples, queer and non-binary individuals, polycules, and those exploring alternative lifestyles. Our goal is to create a safe, affirming environment where you can explore intensive emotional work, integrate transformative experiences, and foster lasting personal and relational growth.

Take the Next Step Toward Healing

Intensive therapy provides an opportunity to focus deeply on your personal growth and recovery. It is particularly beneficial for treatment-resistant diagnoses, including—but not limited to—PTSD, anxiety, depression, OCD, and low self-esteem. For couples, it can enhance relationships by addressing larger ruptures, building on foundational work, and increasing connection, understanding, and intimacy—especially for those who have tried traditional couples therapy.

At Utah Alternative Therapy, we are here to guide you with care, knowledge, and compassion. Start your recovery today—because life can change for the better. Schedule a consultation or intake now!
