traditional weekly therapy missing the mark?
Weekly therapy sessions often feel limited for those dealing with complex or deeply-rooted challenges. It can be hard to delve into issues fully, leaving you feeling as though you're just starting to address something when time’s up.
Intensives offer a powerful alternative: with extended sessions, you gain the time to dig deep, uncover root issues, and develop momentum, all within a contained and supportive environment. This immersive approach allows for deeper breakthroughs, a sense of continuity, and meaningful progress that can make a lasting impact.
You’re in the right place!
A therapy intensive is like a Disney FastPass - you get a VIP experience, skipping the wait of the week-to-week traditional therapy model, and accelerating your relief & reconnection.
Intensive Therapy FAQ
-
Therapy intensives offer the opportunity for accelerated progress, increased therapeutic continuity and momentum, reduced total time in therapy, and targeted interventions and customization.
-
A therapy intensive is a concentrated form of therapy that typically involves several hours of continuous work in either one day or over a few days, rather than spreading sessions across weeks or months. Intensives offer a focused, in-depth approach, allowing you to dive deeper into processing without the typical time constraints of a 50 minute weekly session.
-
Intensive therapy works by immersing clients in extended, focused sessions over a shorter period of time—often several hours each day for 1-3 days. Intensives allow space for delving deeper without the interruptions that come with weekly sessions, allowing clients to maintain momentum and achieve breakthroughs more quickly.
During an intensive, therapists use a structured format and targeted interventions tailored to the client's needs, such as trauma work (Brainspotting), cognitive-behavioral techniques, or attachment-focused modalities (EFT). Intensives can often result in significant progress that may otherwise take months or even years to achieve.
Therapy Intensives vs. Weekly Sessions
Accelerated Progress: Intensive therapy allows for deep, sustained focus over a shorter period of time, allowing for progress that would otherwise take months or years to achieve. A few focused sessions can catalyze breakthroughs, saving on the cumulative cost of weekly sessions that may take longer to reach similar depths..
Increased Continuity and Momentum: Intensive sessions reduce the time between interventions, maintaining therapeutic momentum and continuity. Regular weekly therapy often requires "re-entering" the therapeutic mindset and can lose traction between sessions, especially if a client experiences distractions or stress in the interim.
Reduced Total Time in Therapy: Often clients are able to reach their therapeutic goals sooner with therapy intensives, ultimately reducing the total number of sessions needed. For example, if a client spends 12 hours in an intensive over two days, they may make as much (or often more) progress than they would in a span of 3 months with 12 weekly sessions. This reduces the total time and overall costs, even at a slightly higher hourly rate.
Targeted Interventions and Customization: Intensive sessions allow therapists to dive deeply into a specific issue or maladaptive pattern, often with a level of focus that isn’t feasible in weekly sessions due to time constraints. This targeted approach can resolve or clarify primary challenges efficiently, potentially eliminating or reducing the need for prolonged weekly sessions addressing the same concerns.
Value of Immediate Support and Crisis Resolution: For clients in acute distress or facing a significant transition, intensives offer immediate, concentrated support, reducing the likelihood of costly setbacks or crises. For instance, a few days of intensive work around trauma, grief, or significant life changes can stabilize clients faster, leading to a quicker return to everyday functioning.
Intensive therapy can help you…
Break Through Stuck Patterns: Addressing repetitive behaviors and thought patterns that feel resistant to change in traditional weekly therapy.
Heal Trauma: Offering dedicated time to process and work through complex trauma, which often requires more than brief, intermittent sessions.
Navigate Major Life Transitions: Providing support and clarity for pivotal life changes, such as divorce, career shifts, or loss, where immediate guidance can make a difference.
Address Relationship Challenges: Deepening understanding and finding tools to transform challenging dynamics in personal or family relationships.
Rebuild Self-Confidence: Creating space to explore underlying self-doubt and rediscover a sense of empowerment and self-worth.
Intensive Therapy Fee Structure
Therapy intensives can be scheduled as a one time session or recurring depending on your situation, unique needs, and relationship goals.
Intensives require more work, energy, and scheduling flexibility and are therefore a premium service. The hourly (per hour) fee is dependent on the specific intensive structure chosen, but is typically $300/hour. My regular couples rate is $250/50 min session.
Intensive pricing begins at $600.
Here are some options for therapy intensives:
2-6 hours, multi-day, evening, etc.
I will give you an estimate during the consultation call once I better understand which intensive structure will be most advantageous for your unique situation.
Let me show you how intensive therapy can be more cost-effective and efficient than weekly therapy:
Weekly therapy: $250/50 minute session
10-15 mins checking in
20-30 mins processing
10-15 mins closing
Intensive therapy: $300/60 minutes
10-15 mins checking in
70+ mins processing (depending on length of intensive chosen)
10-15 mins closing
more time in the processing = more time to dive into the issues that are keeping you stuck
There is value in staying in the processing without the usual interruptions and distractions that come with week-to-week sessions.
