Individual Therapy Intensives

Private Pay | Limited Availability

Individual therapy intensives are a structured, extended format designed to support deeper, more focused therapeutic work than a standard weekly session. This option may be helpful for individuals who want dedicated time to explore a specific issue, pattern, or transition in a more intentional and contained way.

I currently offer individual therapy intensives on a limited basis.

What Is an Individual Therapy Intensive?

An individual therapy intensive is a short-term, structured series of longer sessions that allows us to slow down and stay with a therapeutic focus over a brief period of time.

Rather than replacing ongoing therapy, intensives are best understood as a focused container. This format allows space for preparation, meaningful therapeutic work, and integration — without the stop-and-start rhythm of week-to-week sessions.

Some people choose an intensive because they want:

  • Dedicated time to focus on a specific issue or pattern

  • Support during a transition or decision point

  • Space to explore something that feels difficult to access in shorter sessions

  • A more immersive therapeutic experience, while still pacing the work thoughtfully

How Intensives Are Structured

Therapy intensives are intentionally paced and trauma-informed. Each intensive series may include:

  • Grounding and preparation

  • Focused therapeutic work using an integrative, trauma-informed approach
    (EMDR may be incorporated when clinically appropriate, but is not guaranteed or required)

  • Breaks as needed

  • Integration, reflection, and aftercare planning

My priority is not speed or intensity — it’s safety, containment, and meaningful progress.

What’s Included

Individual Therapy Intensive Series

  • Three 90-minute individual therapy sessions

    • Session 1: preparation, grounding, and clarifying focus

    • Session 2: deeper therapeutic work

    • Session 3: integration, reflection, and next steps

  • Intentional pacing across 1–2 weeks
    Sessions are scheduled over one to two weeks, allowing time for rest, nervous system regulation, and integration between appointments.

  • Virtual sessions
    All intensives are offered via secure telehealth.

Investment

$975 (private pay only)

This fee reflects the extended session time, preparation, integration support, and limited availability of intensive work.

Scheduling & Availability

  • Intensives are offered selectively and in limited number

  • Scheduled by request rather than open booking

  • Availability may include weekday or occasional weekend sessions, depending on fit and capacity

I currently offer a small number of intensives each month to ensure quality care and adequate time for integration and recovery.

Who an Intensive May Be a Good Fit For

An individual therapy intensive may be helpful if you:

  • Have a specific issue, pattern, or theme you want to explore more deeply

  • Feel emotionally regulated enough to engage in longer sessions

  • Have the capacity to rest and integrate between sessions

  • Are seeking focused therapeutic support without committing to ongoing weekly therapy

Important Considerations

Therapy intensives are not appropriate for everyone.

To ensure ethical and effective care:

  • All intensives require a consultation to assess readiness and clinical fit

  • Not all inquiries will result in an intensive being scheduled

  • Emotional stability and coping capacity are important factors

  • Follow-up or ongoing therapy may be recommended

My role is to determine whether this format is clinically appropriate — not simply whether it is requested.

Research & Clinical Foundations

Clinical literature supports the use of focused and time-limited psychotherapy formats when treatment structure and intensity are matched to client needs. EMDR is an evidence-based modality for trauma-related symptoms and may be incorporated into intensive work when clinically appropriate.

A Gentle Note

This offering is designed to support depth and intention — not urgency. If you are currently in crisis or need immediate support, a different level of care may be more appropriate.
