What is a Counseling Intensive?
A Counseling Intensive is a powerful way to accelerate the healing that you would experience in a typical therapy session. Rather than going to counseling for an hour session once a week, you would set aside a specific chunk of time - 3 hours a day for 1-3 days - for intentional and strategic therapeutic work. It is a concentrated way to get the power of therapy without having time in between sessions. It helps people journey deeper, grow, and feel better faster.
How Does it Work?
Prior to the Counseling Intensive, we meet for a Pre-Intensive Interview and Planning Session to determine the goal of the time. We will look at what your life looks like now (your support system, stressors, ways you cope, and places that you want relief, growth, or to take a big step forward). During the Intensive we do 2 things: 1) Make the painful stuff in your life hurt less and 2) Help the good stuff feel even better.
We do this with a multi-dimensional treatment approach. The therapeutic interventions we use will be very purposeful, personal, and customized to your needs. After the Intensive, we meet for a Post-Intensive Interview to reflect on the elements that were most meaningful to you and how you want to infuse that into your life moving forward. I emphasize sharing insights with the important people in your life, so they can partner with you and celebrate your progress!
Why Do a Counseling Intensive?
You want to experience deep therapeutic work that can change your life
You had a very painful experience that is still impacting you today
You’re ready to take a deep dive in your growth and well-being and want to experience results faster
You want to prepare yourself mentally and emotionally for a big life event like a wedding, becoming a parent, a medical procedure, starting a new job, or moving to a new city
You already go to weekly therapy and you feel stuck, or on the verge of a break through, or are ready to deepen your work more rapidly.
How it works…
What Does a Counseling Intensive Include?
Pre-Intensive Interview
A 90-minute planning session to determine the goals of your Counseling Intensive and prepare for the experience. We will identify the areas in your life where you feel stuck, ready for change, in need of healing, and want to use the intensive for strategic support.
Customized treatment program
The Counseling Intensive sessions take place at my office in Carbondale or virtually, and are scheduled for 1-3 days for 3 hours each day (the length of the intensive depends on your needs and ability to invest in the time). The way we utilize our time is curated specifically for your needs. It includes targeted treatment and resourcing activities customized for you.
Personalized treatment workbook
The workbook includes assessments and activities to prepare for the Intensive. The workbook allows you keep a record of progress on your treatment goals before, during, and after our sessions. It also includes therapy tools to help integrate our work, and bring the benefits into your real life outside of session.
Post-Intensive Interview
A 90-minute integration session to debrief the experience and reflect on areas of insight, relief, and transformation. We’ll discuss your next steps for continued growth and healing, celebrate your wins, and outline how to utilize your treatment workbook therapy tools to stay connected to your continued growth and well-being.

In person at my office in Carbondale or online throughout Colorado. Therapy intensive sessions are similar to going on a personal retreat. It’s best to allow time outside of sessions to be unscheduled or filled only with self-care activities like exercise, body work (acupuncture or massage), and creative expression – drawing, painting, cooking. For those traveling to Carbondale, I love to share a list of “Favorite Things” to help you make the most of your time outside of session.

Some insurance plans will reimburse a portion of the cost of a Therapy Intensive. Please know that the insurance company requires a diagnosis code as a reason for treatment. I recommend calling the customer service number on the back of your insurance card in order to get details about your specific plan. I’m happy to provide more information to help with this process.

Therapy Intensives give you the results you would get from months of therapy in a much shorter period of time. If you add up the cost of weekly therapy, a Therapy Intensive is priced just right and Instead of waiting months, you can get the same results in a few days.
