Make real progress in days, not months.

Intensive, focused therapy for teens and adults.

What is a therapy intensive?

Therapy Intensives are a powerful, accelerated approach to working through your challenges that are designed to help you make real progress in a short amount of time. Instead of stretching therapy out over months, why not dedicate a morning, afternoon, or even a weekend to deep, focused work?

Think of it like a retreat, time set aside just for you. Step away from the daily grind, take a break from work, school, and family responsibilities to focus on YOU. This is your time to fully commit to gaining clarity and moving forward without the interruptions of everyday life.

By decreasing the time spent in therapy and gaining faster, lasting results you end up spending less money overall.

Designed Just for You

Every Intensive is built for you before you walk in. I review your history, design the session around your specific goals, and assemble a personal experience just for you. Your intensive fee reflects that thoughtful preparation as well as our time together.

You're already doing the work. But some things don't wrap up nicely in 50 min sessions. You get warmed as soon as the hour ends. I already know your history, your goals, and where you get stuck, so there's no ramp-up. We go straight to the thing you've been stuck on or need to get through and we get the job done. Right then and there.

This is a good fit if you:

  • Keep hitting the same wall and want to break through it

  • Are ready for processing work that needs unbroken time

  • Have a hard deadline coming (a conversation, a move, a wedding, the start of school, a family visit)

  • Want to accelerate progress (OCD, BFRB, anxiety, etc.) without adding a second weekly appointment
