The Illumine Trauma Intensive Can Help You

Transform a key relationship that causes stress or holds you back.
Working on any relationship also means improving your relationship with yourself. Whether you want better boundaries with your aging parents, more effective communication with your partner, or less anxiety around relationships in general, the intensive gets to the root of issues faster so you can restore peace and confidence to your personal life.
Shame, grief and loss are common and normal emotions for anyone who’s experienced a betrayal or disappointment from a significant person, group or authority figure. Let’s untangle your truth from theirs, recover your identity and restore self-trust so that you can move towards what’s better for you.

It’s not a sign of weakness; it’s a physiological fact. Physical accidents, toxic relationships and even well-intentioned emotional neglect can affect how we sleep, how we relate to others, and how creative and capable we feel moving in the world. We process the trauma so you can grow, feel more grounded and open up to more joy, connection and confidence.

What would you change, create or accomplish if you knew that you are absolutely good enough? Who would you be if you no longer felt the pull towards perfecting or proving your worth? Our work lightens the load of external pressures, expectations and stories about who you are – so you can be who you’re here to be, say what you’re here to say, and be a brighter light in the lives of everyone around you.

Happy Mid Age couple

Resolving the core of your challenges doesn’t have to take a long time.

And weekly therapy isn’t the only way to prioritize growth and healing.

With an Illumine Therapy Intensive, you can significantly shift your experience in five half-day sessions with me.

It’s perfect for those in mid-life who don’t have room in their calendar for a standing weekly appointment —

And those who want to move through transition, challenge and trauma more quickly.

Meet your challenge & start living the life you want, sooner.

Why Illumine Intensives are so effective:

Identify

We go deeper in each appointment.

We can do a lot in a three-hour session. We’ll tend to your emotions, brain and body through a full arc of healing. Clients typically walk away feeling more clear and present.

Our work is tailored to your goals.

Your treatment plan is customized to the outcomes you want. Your intake workbook helps you uncover what’s most important to you so that we can draw from my methods accordingly.
Change

You walk away with the tools to keep growing.

Walk away from our time with new tools and skills, including a deeper awareness of your needs and how to meet them, so you can keep working on yourself.

MEET YOUR THERAPIST

I’m Kristi Keding.

I offer Illumine Therapy Intensives so you can experience a profound difference from therapy, faster.

Many of my clients are high-functioning folks with good lives — but when they reached middle adulthood they wondered how much longer they could keep up this pace.

They find themselves having bigger different dreams but find they’re too exhausted to show up for more than the bare minimum.

They are perceptive, resilient people who want more connection and trust in their relationships and wonder how to make it happen.

Accelerate healing with the best brain-body therapy methods.

We customize a treatment plan based on your preferences, unique experiences, and desired outcomes.

In just five sessions together, we can change your body’s response to your biggest stressors, so you can meet life with clear-headed confidence.

Begin Your Illumine Trauma Intensive Today

What it includes:

30-Minute Pre-Intensive Consultation

Before we dive in, this session helps us make sure you’re a good candidate for intensive therapy. We will get clear on your goals and the outcome you’d like to achieve.

Five Half-Day Intensive Therapy Sessions

Your 3-hour sessions can be done within a week and a half (M, W, F, M, W), or weekly for five weeks, or every other week as is best for your schedule. Sessions are available for booking Monday-Friday.

Personalized Treatment Workbook

With custom assessments and prompts, this workbook clarifies what you want to get out of our time together so we hit the ground running. It will also help you work on your treatment goals before, during and after your intensive.

Custom Treatment Plan Tailored to Your Goals

I bring together cutting-edge modalities such as Brainspotting, EDMR, ACT and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy to suit your needs and preferences. Our spacious sessions are ideal for making the most of these powerful methods so you heal at a deeper level, faster.

30-Minute Follow Up Interview to Support Changes

We check in to assess how you’re doing and see what support or tools you need to adapt to the changes and positive outcomes of your treatment.

TOTAL COST: $4,400*

*Payment plan available.

You may choose to pay upfront or go by-the-session at a rate of $880 per half-day (3-hour) intensive session.

The vast majority of intensive clients complete this package as designed (five sessions). However, binding commitments do not fit my values as a Feedback-Informed Therapist, so if you choose to stop, you will not need to pay for unused intensives.

Book a Free Consultation to Get Started

Let’s meet for a 30-minute call and see if we’re a great potential match for intensive therapy.

P.S. I don’t believe anyone “needs” to be in therapy forever. After the intensive, you’re always welcome to continue on with weekly therapy, however your intensive is meant to powerfully equip you to continue on your growth journey on your own.

Frequently Asked Questions about Trauma Intensives in Utah

Do I have to complete all five sessions?
No. That would go against my values as a Feedback-Informed Therapist. I want each step we take together to be informed by your consent. You may pay per session as you go.
You will fill out a pre-intensive questionnaire to begin, but beyond that, it is not necessary to complete any readings, routines, or other tasks in order to get results from our time together. And because my process is customized, I only give “homework” to clients who have ample space and are poised to benefit from it. In any case, we figure ways to support your goals that are doable for where you’re at right now.
I aim to give you the tools and clarity you need to continue on your own path without me. While some intensive clients may choose to follow up with periodic therapy appointments, this package is designed to be a standalone, worthwhile investment in yourself.

My Ultimate Vision?

You walk out of this intensive more confident in your ability to handle the hard stuff…

And your power to make life not just full, but truly fulfilling.
