Therapy Intensives: Online Across IL + NC, In-Person Near Raleigh
Focused Time. Faster Healing. Real Change.
For adults in Illinois and North Carolina who are ready to experience meaningful change in days instead of months.
Who Therapy Intensives Are For
Therapy intensives are designed for adults who are ready to go deeper — beyond surface-level coping and into meaningful, lasting healing. They’re ideal if you:
You Feel Stuck
In the same cycles of anxiety, self-doubt, or people-pleasing, even after traditional therapy
Something Isn’t Shifting
Want to address trauma, burnout, or emotional overwhelm in a focused, intentional way.
You’re Tired of Going in Circles
Crave time and space to slow down, process, and finally feel like yourself again.
You Don’t Want to Wait
Intensives offer flexibility— whether you’re balancing a busy schedule, traveling from out of state, or want to make faster progress in a shorter amount of time.
An Intensive could be for you if you’re ready for…
Something Different
A therapeutic experience that’s immersive, intentional, and not confined to the weekly hour.
Relief Your Body Can Feel
More calm, grounded presence in your day-to-day life.
Real Change
Focused work that addresses the root — not just the symptoms.
What Are Therapy Intensives?
A focused, deeper approach to healing
Designed for people who’ve already done some work but still feel stuck.
More time. More depth.
Instead of weekly sessions, intensives offer dedicated time—a few hours or a few days—to slow down, process, and move through what’s been holding you back.
Root-level healing
Using approaches like ART and EMDR, intensives help:
Reduce emotional triggers
Release unresolved memories
Create lasting relief
In simple terms
Think of it as pressing pause on life so you can focus fully on your healing, growth, and peace.
What You Can Expect After an Intensive
Most people who come to me for an intensive have already done a lot of personal work — but still feel like something hasn’t fully shifted. After an intensive, they often describe feeling lighter, calmer, and more connected to themselves in a way they hadn’t before.
Here are some of the biggest changes clients notice:
Fewer anxiety spirals and racing thoughts — finally feeling calmer and more in control of your mind.
A greater sense of safety and ease in your body — instead of living in constant tension or survival mode.
More confidence setting boundaries and saying what you need — without guilt or second-guessing.
Deeper, more authentic connections with others — showing up as your full, unmasked self.
Lasting relief from old trauma triggers and emotional pain — creating space for clarity, peace, and self-trust.
Options & Investment
Your healing is a powerful investment, in your peace, your growth, and your future self. Therapy intensives are designed to offer focused, transformative care that meets you where you are and helps you move forward with clarity and confidence.

FAQs About Therapy Intentives
-
Therapy Intensives are more effective and efficient than standard 60-minute talk therapy sessions. Typically in a 60-minute session, there are at least 5-10 minutes of “check-in” at the start of the session and usually, 5-10 minutes spent on “closing up” or “checking out” at the end of a session - Leaving only 30-40 minutes for deep therapeutic work. Therapy Intensives are different. A 3-hour Therapy Intensive allows for 2.5 hours of depth work. That’s the equivalent of five 60-minute sessions or more than a month of therapy - in a single day!
-
Therapy Intensives are perfect for:
People who want relief right away.
Busy people who can’t fit weekly sessions into their schedule but still want the full benefits of therapy.
People who have tried regular talk therapy but still feel stuck.
People dealing with anxiety who need extra time to work through their experiences.

Intensives are an investment in your overall wellbeing—and they often cost less than traditional therapy in the long run. In just a single 3-hour intensive, you can achieve what might take months of weekly sessions. At $180 per session, that can add up fast.
Choosing an intensive doesn’t just save you money; it saves time, too. This approach focuses on concentrated, purposeful time dedicated to the deep work that brings real change to your daily life. Intensive packages start at $990 and go up from there depending on amount of time needed for your intensive.

Therapy Intensives are not covered by insurance. However, if you have out-of-network benefits, your insurance company may reimburse a portion of the Therapy Intensive. It’s best to call the customer service number on the back of your insurance card to learn the details about your specific plan. Make sure to ask questions like: Do I have a deductible for out-of-network services? Have I met my deductible? What CPT billing codes do you reimburse (i.e. 90837 or two 90843 in one day)? What is the rate of reimbursement for each billing code? What is the allowable amount for reimbursement?

A 50% non-refundable deposit is due at the time you book your Therapy Intensive. The remaining 50% is due on the first day of the Intensive Session.

Great question! This depends on your goals for the Therapy Intensive. Some goals can be reached in a 1 Day 3-hour Intensive, but other goals are more complex and may require multiple days. I can help you determine the number of days that would work best for your therapy goals.

Absolutely! Therapy Intensives work very well as an adjunct therapy. I would ask that you sign a Release of Information so that your current therapist and I can collaborate/coordinate to best serve you.
