What are therapy intensives?
Therapy Intensives offer the opportunity to make significant progress in a shorter amount of time.
With longer, more concentrated sessions, clients are able to dive deeper and explore the root of their issues. Intensives may be more convenient for those with busy schedules, or anyone looking to focus on therapy during a set period of time rather than over many months.
Therapy Intensives provide dedicated time and a nurturing environment to heal & thrive.
Creating an environment that feels calm and inviting is something that I take seriously.
You are welcome to bring anything that will support your healing such as, comfy clothes, a blanket, fidget toys, your favorite snack. I also have snacks, water & coffee available for you too.
We will take breaks depending on your needs so that you are able to stretch and allow the work that we do together to integrate into your system.
Intensive Therapy is a concentrated and immersive form of therapy designed to accelerate your healing.

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.

Intensives encompass a number of different sessions and avenues for support. We’ll customize each of the following based on your needs:
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. During this time, we’ll also determine the length and number of intensive sessions you are likely to need. This can always be adjusted later, if needed.
Pre-Intake: You’ll complete a detailed intake packet sharing about your background, current challenges, and goals.
Intake Session: We’ll meet for a 50-minute intake session to review additional information and create a detailed plan, including goals and outcome measures to ensure we can accurately track your progress.
Plan: I’ll craft a customized plan combining both talk therapy, Brainspotting, and Accelerated Resolution Therapy to help you achieve deep healing.
Intensive Session(s): We’ll meet for the selected number of sessions. They can occur in-person in my office in Gilbert, or online anywhere in AZ..
Post-Intensive Session: To measure your progress, debrief, and ensure you feel well-equipped to integrate your new insights into daily life, we can meet for an optional 50-minute post-intensive session.

A detailed intake questionnaire
An interactive intensive treatment workbook (much like a personal workbook to collect your thoughts before, during, and after)
A customized plan incorporating Brainspotting, accelerated resolution therapy, and relational talk therapy suited to your goals and desired outcomes
Specialized support every step of the way
The journey of intensive therapy begins with a consultation with a trained therapist to determine if this approach is the right fit for you. Once it’s established that intensive therapy is suitable, a personalized plan is crafted to meet your unique needs.
This plan may include a combination of therapeutic approaches such as EMDR, Brainspotting, IFS, and experiential components. The intensive therapy sessions themselves are designed to be immersive experiences, allowing you to fully engage with your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors.
Throughout the process, the therapist creates a safe and supportive environment, facilitating deep work and skill building. This concentrated time allows for more profound insights and quicker progress compared to traditional therapy.

What can you expect…
After a consult call to ensure that an intensive is for you, we will schedule the 90 minute pre-intensive interview. The goal here is to gather a thorough assessment. We will identify the issues that you want to work on, set the goals for the intensive and build in some resources that will be utilized during our work.
After the assessment, we will schedule out your intensive time. This will be done in 3-4 hour time blocks and can happen in one day or over several days depending on the treatment plan. This is where will dive deep to get you feeling relief.
Once the intensive is completed, we will meet for a follow-up session about 6 weeks later. This gives us an opportunity to reflect on how you are doing, what changes you have noticed and if there is anything that you feel still needs to be worked on. At this point we may schedule another intensive, you may transition into ongoing therapy with me or another therapist, or you may not need ongoing therapy.
