Intensive Therapy Sessions
These are extended, goal-driven sessions, typically booked in 2, 3, or 4 hour blocks for 3-6 weeks.
​
Intensive sessions are an alternative to the weekly and bi-weekly 60 minute model, for the purpose of seeing benefits earlier in the therapy process. It is a large dose of therapy in a short period of time. Intensives offer time for a deep dive into treatment, away from interruptions, distractions, and the stop/start of the classic therapy model. This deep dive excavates and unearths the patterns of relating, reacting, and responding that were learned unconsciously in childhood and replicated throughout life. Intensives provide time to fully unpack experiences, habits, or beliefs you’ve spent a lifetime carrying.
​​***Regular ongoing weekly or bi-weekly appointments are not available with this service. Further intensive follow-up sessions are possible if needed.

The Process
Consultation
We begin by having a conversation to evaluate whether these extended therapy sessions are suitable to get you unstuck. You will share about the problem you want to address and your goals for peace-of-mind. This is also an opportunity for you to ask any questions and consider scheduling.
1
Sessions
We’ll meet in our extended sessions for 3-6 weeks and engage in intentional, in-depth and uninterrupted therapy (15 min breaks are incorporated!). Each intensive is individualized to meet the unique needs of the client. You will be given guidance on “homework” and ways you can implement the learning and strategies you've acquired.
3
Intake Assessment
In order to address the root of the problem, we take an in-depth look at what the problem is, why it’s there, and why it hasn’t gone away. This assessment will allow us to discuss the most effective strategies, approaches and protocols for your intensive. We’ll also discuss the scheduling of sessions that will work best.
2
Post-Session
A conversation is set up for 1-2 weeks later for us to touch base, assess your progress and discuss your goals and growth.
You can share your insights into the process and ask any follow-up questions.
We will determine if any further extended sessions are needed.
