Intensive therapy

Helping adults and couples put the past to rest and get back to feeling like themselves…fast.

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 minutes is up, and the next session feels like starting all over. Perhaps you’ve never even tried it because your busy schedule simply doesn’t afford you the flexibility in your schedule.

You might be here because:

  • You need a cost-effective approach to therapy

  • A recent event has shaken your sense of stability or safety

  • Traditional weekly therapy hasn’t delivered the results you need

  • You’re ready for real change, tired of incremental, inconsistent progress

How it works

Intensives are concentrated therapy sessions designed to deliver accelerated results.

  • Therapy intensives help clients go deeper and get results faster. Rather than stopping and starting in 1-hour blocks every week, intensives allow you to set aside a larger chunk of time to do the deep work necessary to achieve real, long-lasting change. This is a cutting-edge, research-backed approach to therapy. Our work together will be focused, in-depth, and personalized to you & your goals.

    1. Consult: We’ll start with a 20-minute consultation call to ensure this model is the right fit for you, and that I’m the right counselor to support you.

    2. Pre-Intake: You’ll complete a detailed intake packet sharing about your background, current challenges, and goals.

    3. Intake Session: We’ll meet for an in-depth, intake session to review additional information and create a detailed plan, including goals and outcome measures to ensure we can accurately track your progress.

    4. Plan: I’ll craft a customized plan combining both talk therapy and Brainspotting to help you achieve deep healing.

    5. Intensive Session(s): We’ll meet for your selected number of 3-hour sessions. This can occur in-person in my office in Roseville and online anywhere in CA and TX.

    6. Post-Intensive Session: To measure your progress, debrief, and ensure you feel well-equipped to integrate your new insights into daily life, we’ll meet for a post-intensive session.

Frequently asked questions

  • 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 few days for Therapy Intensives? It’s a cutting-edge approach to help people feel better faster.

    In fact, many people think of Therapy Intensives like a retreat. For those few days, 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, or stressor 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.

  • Yes! Couples who find themselves stuck in the same conflict patterns or feel like they never really reach resolutions are a great fit for intensives.

  • 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 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. However, 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 which option would work best for your therapy goals. Click here to schedule a free consultation.

  • Absolutely! Therapy Intensives work very well as an adjunct therapy. I would ask that you sign a Release of Information so that your current therapist and I can collaborate/coordinate to best serve you.

  • Therapy Intensives are not covered by insurance. However, if you have out-of-network benefits, your insurance company may reimburse a portion of the costs. It’s best to call the customer service number on the back of your insurance card to learn the details about your specific plan. I am happy to provide some helpful questions to ask your insurance during our consultation call.

  • A 50% non-refundable deposit is due at the time of booking your Therapy Intensive. The remaining 50% is due on the day of the 1st Intensive Session.

  • The pre and post intensive sessions occur online, while the 3-hour intensive days are available both online across CA or TX or in person in Roseville, CA.
