"Intensives"

Our intensives are designed to provide more structure, focus, and support than standard weekly therapy, helping clients make meaningful changes in a shorter period of time. While each plan is personalized, most intensives share the following features:

• Multiple therapy sessions per week. Some clients prefer private intensives where they attend between 2–5 sessions weekly, each lasting 1-2 hours. Others prefer group intensives, where they attend 3 sessions weekly, each lasting 3-5 hours. This increased frequency allows us to address challenges in real time, maintain momentum, and prevent setbacks.
• Customized, evidence-based treatment plans. We start with a comprehensive assessment and case formulation, then design an approach that matches each client’s goals, symptoms, and unique circumstances. We draw only from therapies with strong scientific support.
• Extensive psychoeducation. Clients (and caregivers/loved ones when involved) receive clear, practical education about their diagnosis, the factors that maintain symptoms, and the treatment model(s) being used. Understanding why symptoms are persisting, and why the chosen approach works helps clients feel confident, motivated, and engaged in the process.
• Active skill-building and between-session practice. Progress doesn’t just happen in the therapy room. We incorporate homework, real-life practice, and behavioral experiments so clients can apply skills in their daily environments.
• Involvement of family or caregivers when appropriate. For children, teens, and young adults, we work closely with caregivers to reduce unhelpful patterns, strengthen recovery, and create a supportive home environment.
