Stay with the important parts
You do not have to stop just as something significant comes up. An extended appointment gives us time to follow an important thread, make connections, and work through what emerges rather than saving it for next week.
INDIVIDUAL THERAPY INTENSIVES
More room to go deeper—without losing momentum.
A focused, extended format for working on a specific concern with preparation, uninterrupted clinical time, and a clear plan for integration.
When an intensive may be the right fit
An intensive can be a good fit if:
- You have a specific issue you want to address without committing to open-ended weekly therapy.
- You have been in therapy before but feel like you keep circling the same problem.
- A relationship pattern, anxiety, anger, perfectionism, burnout, or other concern has reached a point where you want to address it directly.
- Your schedule makes weekly therapy difficult to sustain.
- You want dedicated time to focus without repeatedly starting over each week.
- You are ready to understand what is driving the pattern and do something different with that understanding.
This is focused therapy, not a shortcut. The goal is not to rush the process. It is to use the time differently.
What More Time Makes Possible
Focus on one problem from multiple angles
We can spend sustained time understanding a specific concern, including the thoughts, emotions, relationships, and behaviors involved, without having to divide the work across multiple appointments.
Move from understanding to practice
There is time not only to understand what is happening, but to work with it. We can test a different response, work through a difficult conversation, or develop a concrete plan for what you want to do differently outside the office.
Leave with a direction
You should not have to wonder what you are supposed to do with everything you uncovered. We will identify the most important takeaways and what comes next, whether that means applying the work on your own, continuing with regular therapy, or scheduling another intensive.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Questions about fit and logistics.
What is an individual therapy intensive?
An individual intensive is an extended period of one-on-one therapy focused on a specific concern, pattern, or transition. The longer format gives us more uninterrupted time to understand what is happening, make meaningful connections, and begin working differently.
Why choose an intensive instead of weekly therapy?
Weekly therapy creates a natural stop-and-start rhythm. An intensive gives us more time to stay with something when it gets complicated or important, rather than stopping just as the deeper work begins. It can also be a useful option for people who want focused work without committing to ongoing weekly therapy.
How long is an intensive?
Intensives are offered in extended blocks of time, with the length based on what you want to address and what will be most useful for the work. We will determine the format together rather than starting with a predetermined number of sessions.
What can we work on during an intensive?
An intensive can focus on a specific concern or pattern such as anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, emotional reactivity, relationship difficulties, self-worth, identity, or a major life transition. The focus is individualized to what you want to change and what is getting in the way.
Do I need to continue with weekly therapy afterward?
No. An intensive can stand on its own, become the starting point for ongoing therapy, or be followed by another intensive. At the end, we will identify what comes next based on what you want to accomplish and what the work has uncovered.
Change is possible—and it can happen fast.
