Do you feel like weekly 50-minute therapy sessions just aren't enough to help you achieve the life you desire?
A therapy intensive is like a weekend retreat. Just as a retreat allows you to step away from daily life to focus deeply on personal growth and reflection, a therapy intensive provides concentrated time to dive into your challenges and emotions, fostering significant insights and progress in a shorter span.

Frequently Asked Questions about Intensives
-
I offer sessions both virtual and in person to fit within your busy lifestyle. Intensives pre and post sessions will be held over a HIPAA compliant video in your space that feels comfortable and private for you.
My requirement is that you have minimal to no distractions during the intensive.
-
Intensives are not typically covered by insurance because they are considered a premium service. This means they are designed to provide an in-depth, focused experience that goes beyond traditional therapy sessions.

Before we dive into the intensive, we’ll start with a Pre-Intensive Interview. This is our chance to sit down and discuss your goals for our time together. We’ll take a closer look at your current life—what’s been stressful for you, what your support system looks like, and how you cope when you’re feeling overwhelmed by strong emotions or physical sensations. We’ll also identify the specific areas where you’re seeking relief, growth, or want to take significant steps forward.
During the Intensive, we’ll engage in meaningful conversations aimed at both reducing the symptoms you’re experiencing and enhancing your ability to connect with more positive feelings, thoughts, and memories. Our time together will be structured to allow for deep exploration of your thoughts and feelings. We’ll discuss coping strategies that work best for you, incorporating various therapeutic techniques tailored to your needs.
Depending on where you are in life and your specific goals, we may spend time processing past or present relationships and events or discussing any worries you have about the future. This process is very personal and customized to you, allowing for a flexible approach that meets your unique needs.
After the intensive, we’ll have a Post-Intensive Interview to reflect on what you’ve processed and learned during our time together. We’ll discuss what felt meaningful to you and explore how to integrate these new insights into your daily life moving forward. This reflective time helps solidify your progress and ensures you feel supported as you continue your journey.
This approach focuses on understanding and processing your experiences through conversation and tailored therapeutic techniques, fostering growth and healing in a comprehensive and supportive way!
