WHERE HEALING HAS ROOM TO UNFOLD •
For the Woman Who Knows There’s More
The Deeper Path is an investment in yourself and the work you’re ready to do. Your intensive is shaped around your needs, with dedicated time to slow down, create space, and work through what’s been weighing on you. There’s no exact timeline for healing, and you don’t have to navigate the process alone. Thoughtful preparation, support between sessions, and integration afterward are all part of creating a more contained and intentional experience.
You may be ready for The Deeper Path if you’re looking to:
Work through the impact of childhood trauma and experiences that still shape how you move through the world
Build a life that feels less ruled by anxiety
Go deeper than what feels possible in traditional 50-minute sessions
Break out of the cycle of starting, stopping, and feeling like you’re always beginning again
Reconnect with yourself and understand the different parts of you that have learned to survive
Do meaningful work without needing to be in a place of crisis or urgency
Invest in yourself and create space for the work to unfold at a pace that feels intentional
A Deeper Investment in You
The Deeper Path is designed to give you dedicated time, personalized care, and space to focus on the work that matters most to you. Each experience includes thoughtful support before, during, and after your intensive, so you’re not simply showing up for a longer therapy session. You’re creating intentional space for yourself and the work you’re ready to do.

Get to Know the Person Walking Alongside You
The Deeper Path was created by Gabby Slifkin, a Pennsylvania Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Board-Certified Art Therapist (ATR-BC). Gabby specializes in trauma, anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and deeper therapeutic work using EMDR, art therapy, IFS/Parts Work, and somatic approaches. She created The Deeper Path for those who are ready to take their therapy further—to have more time, space, and personalized care for the work they’re ready to do.
She believe healing takes time and cannot be rushed, and that meaningful healing happens in the company of people we feel safe and secure with. At the heart of my work is the therapeutic relationship. She wants you to feel supported, cared for, and free from judgment or the pressure to be the “perfect” client, while also knowing she’ll gently challenge and support you in the ways your healing needs.
Your Space to Slow Down
The Deeper Path is a space that feels less like walking into a therapist’s office and more like settling into a cozy living room where you can finally exhale. Take your shoes off, grab a blanket, curl up with a pillow or fidget, and make yourself comfortable. The space is filled with thrifted finds, plants, books, handmade art, creative materials, and little reminders of inspiration, with soft lighting, favorite scents, snacks, and a giant window that lets the light in. Every detail is intentional. Created to help your mind and body feel a little more at ease while you do the deeper work.
Go Deeper, With Intention
STEP 1: BEFORE
Prepare
We’ll begin with a complimentary consultation to answer your questions and make sure The Deeper Path feels like the right fit. From there, a 90-minute pre-intensive session will help us build resources, get grounded, and create your personalized plan.
STEP 2: DURING
Go Deeper
We’ll use EMDR to focus on the experiences and patterns you’re ready to work through. If you choose the creative path, we’ll also incorporate an El Duende art directive to support reflection and processing.
STEP 3: AFTER
Integrate
Two to four weeks later, we’ll meet for a 90-minute integration session to reflect on what has shifted, what you’ve noticed, and what you need next—whether that’s another intensive, continued therapy, or support finding ongoing care.
Your Questions Answered
-
An EMDR intensive is a dedicated block of therapeutic time designed to create more space for focused EMDR processing than is typically possible in a weekly therapy session. Rather than working within a 50-minute window, an intensive allows us to slow down, follow what emerges, and give your healing process the time and attention it deserves.
Your experience includes thoughtful preparation beforehand and space for integration afterward, so you're not simply showing up for a longer therapy session—you're creating intentional space for the work you're ready to do.
-
Yes. You don't necessarily need previous experience with EMDR to participate in an intensive. We'll spend time preparing you for the process, including building resources and making sure you understand what to expect.
If you're new to EMDR, we'll move at a pace that allows you to become familiar with the process and your own responses rather than expecting you to jump immediately into deep processing. Ultimately, we'll determine together whether beginning EMDR through an intensive is appropriate for you.
-
Your Deeper Path experience includes more than the time spent together during your intensive. Each experience includes dedicated preparation, your Intensive Day, integration and follow-up support, and a personalized workbook to support you throughout the process.
The intention is to create a contained, supportive experience before, during, and after your intensive—not simply a longer therapy appointment.
-
Right now, Deeper Path intensives are offered on weekends, with availability on Saturday and/or Sunday depending on the package you choose.

Healing That Honors the Whole You
The Deeper Path brings together EMDR, IFS/Parts Work, somatic therapy, and art therapy to support your whole experience—mind, body, and the parts of you shaped by what you’ve experienced or what you may have needed but didn’t receive.
We move through the EMDR process while weaving in these approaches as needed, slowing down to create safety and space for meaningful healing.
