What Are Therapy Intensives, and Are They Right for You?
Everything You Need to Know About Therapy Intensives
Do you ever feel like weekly therapy isn’t enough for your child? Maybe they’re facing anxiety, grief, or a specific challenge that needs more focused attention. This is where therapy intensives can help.
Let me explain to you what therapy intensives are, how they work, and why they might be the solution you’re looking for!
What Is a Therapy Intensive?
A therapy intensive is a short-term, highly focused therapeutic experience designed to help you make significant progress in a short period of time. Instead of meeting weekly, therapy intensives involve extended sessions over one or multiple days, allowing for a deeper dive into your specific challenges.
Think of it like a workshop or retreat—designed to fast-track your healing by providing dedicated time to work through challenges, uninterrupted.

How Does a Therapy Intensive Work?
Here’s how therapy intensives typically work:
Initial Consultation: We’ll chat about your goals, challenges, and what’s keeping you up at night (besides your Netflix queue). This helps us craft a plan that’s as unique as you are.
Customized Plan: We create a tailored plan for our intensive sessions, focusing on your most pressing concerns.
Intensive Sessions: During these extended sessions, we’ll use evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, or EMDR to address your concerns.
Follow-Up Support: After the intensive, we’ll create a plan for continued support and growth.
