Individual/ Couples Intensives

An intensive treatment session is delivered in an extended session, utilizing multiple treatment modalities, including Gottman Couples Counseling for Couples, EFT (Emotional-Focused Therapy), ACT (Acceptance Commitment Therapy), EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), and Polyvagal Therapy. Typically, sessions are three to six hours and occur on a weekend. New research shows that intensive therapy for trauma and stress can be highly effective in reducing symptoms and improving relationships in a shorter time than traditional therapy.

Benefits of Intensive over Traditional Therapy:

Sessions are completed over a few half- or full-day intensive sessions.
While there is a larger upfront cost, the shorter duration of treatment can result in savings, as a half-day intensive can be as beneficial as ten traditional one-hour sessions.
Intensives have much shorter wait times, as clients usually accomplish their goals for treatment within a few intensive sessions.
Individuals and Couples benefit from doing more work and accomplishing more of their goals without navigating difficult schedules.
We do offer weekday intensive, however most people choose to utilize a weekend intensive.

An EMDR Intensive is right for you if:

You are looking for expedited symptom relief
You do not have the time to commit to weekly therapy sessions
You need the flexibility of scheduling at certain hours of the day.
You are able to tolerate long sessions.

What are the costs

Intensive therapy is not typically covered by insurance, as there are no billing codes for it. Clients must pay for intensives out-of-pocket, and cannot submit claims to insurance themselves.
