Therapy Intensives

A Therapy Intensive is an accelerated form of therapy designed to help clients go deeper and get results faster. Instead of attending therapy one hour per week for a year, why not carve out a weekend or a week for Therapy Intensives? It’s a cutting-edge approach to help people feel better faster. No need for a weekly therapy appointment.

In fact, many people think of Therapy Intensives like a retreat. For that weekend or week you can unplug, take time off work, get a babysitter, or even stay in a hotel. This time is completely dedicated to you so you can focus on healing, reflecting, and reconnecting.

Therapy Intensives are perfect for people that are ready for relief now. If you’re ready to see things change in your life and your relationships but you don’t want to wait for that to happen next year - a Therapy Intensive may be right for you. If you have a specific topic, trauma, stressor or simply want deep introspection that you want support with - this can be the focus of your Therapy Intensive. The dedicated time will be customized specifically to you and your goals.

Therapy Intensives are more effective and efficient than normal 50-minute therapy sessions. Typically in a 50-minute session, there are at least 5-10 minutes of “check- in” at the start of the session and usually, 5-10 minutes spent on “closing up” or “checking out” at the end of a session - Leaving only 30-40 minutes for deep therapeutic work. Therapy Intensives are different. A 3-hour Therapy Intensive allows for 2.5 hours of depth work. That’s the equivalent of five 50-minute sessions or more than a month of therapy - in a single day!

Great question! This depends on your goals for the Therapy Intensive. Some goals can be reached in a 1 Day Intensive (3 hours), but other goals are more complex and may require a 3 Day Intensive. I can help you determine the number of days that would work best for your therapy goals.

Absolutely! Therapy Intensives work very well as an adjunct therapy. The therapy foundation and mental health knowledge you built with your primary therapist can provide stability and consistency in your progress to achieve your therapy goals. After a Therapy Intensive, your work with your primary therapist can help you integrate new insights into your daily life.

This is dependent on your work benefits package. It’s best to call the customer service to learn the details about your specific plan.

Make sure to ask questions like:

• Am I covered for social worker services?

• Will the full therapy session be covered, or is there a percentage/maximum limit of coverage for each session?

A 50% non-refundable deposit is due at the time you book your Therapy Intensive. The remaining 50% is due on the first day of the Intensive Session.
