Weekly therapy isn’t always the right answer.
Maybe you’ve tried it and find that every time you’re starting to make some progress, your 50-minute session is up, and the next session feels like starting all over. Maybe progress is slower than you’d like it to be. Maybe you need change or results more quickly due to crisis or a time crunch. Perhaps you’ve never even tried weekly therapy because your busy schedule doesn’t afford you the flexibility in your schedule.
Intensives are concentrated therapy sessions designed to deliver accelerated results.
Rather than stopping and starting in 50-minute blocks every week, intensives allow you to set aside a larger chunk of time to do the uninterrupted work necessary to achieve real, long-lasting change. Our work together will be focused, in-depth, and personalized to you & your goals.
How intensives work:
Intensives are customized as needed for each individual or couple. The format starts here as a framework to begin our custom conversation to meet your needs:
- Consult: We’ll start with a 20-minute consultation call to ensure this model is the right fit for you, and that I am the right therapist to support you. During this time, we’ll also determine the length and number of intensive hours or sessions you are likely to need. This can always be adjusted later, if needed.
- Intake Session: We’ll meet for a 50-minute intake session to review additional information and create a detailed plan, including goals and outcome measures to ensure we can accurately track your progress. There may be pre-intensive homework assigned as part of this plan building.
- Intensive Session/s: We’ll meet for the selected number of hours and/or sessions. My suggested timeframe to consider is 3 hours, although we can build from there depending on agreement and goals. Meetings may occur in my private practice office, or at a location of your choosing and depending upon prior agreement. A different location will include travel expense.
- Post-Intensive Session: We will meet for a post-intensive 50-minute session to debrief, measure progress since the intensive, and to ensure you feel well-equipped to integrate your new insights into your life. This session is often one to two months after the intensive but is open to customization for your needs and goals.
Starting rates:
Couples package: Starting at $1800
Individual package: Starting at $1500
Concentrated results for busy people
Intensives are investments in your overall well-being, and many times often wind up being less expensive than traditional therapy. In a single 3‑hour intensive, you may accomplish what is likely to take months of weekly therapy. When you choose an intensive, you’re not just saving money — you’re saving time, too. This model prioritizes focused, concentrated work that’s going to result in change in your day-to-day life.
