Frequently Asked Questions
Who can benefit from Therapy Intensives?
Therapy Intensives are perfect for children that are ready for relief now. If you’re ready to see things change in your child’s life but you don’t want to wait for that to happen next year - a Therapy Intensive may be right for your family. If you have a specific topic, behavior, or stressor that you want support with - this can be the focus of your child’s Therapy Intensive. The dedicated time will be customized specifically to your family and their goals.
Why should I do a Therapy Intensive instead of a normal 50-minute therapy session?
Therapy Intensives are more effective and efficient than normal 50-minute therapy sessions. Typically in a 50-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 2-hour Therapy Intensive allows for the full 2 hours of depth work. That’s the equivalent of five 50-minute sessions or more than a month of therapy - in a single day!
How many Intensive Days should I schedule?
This depends on your goals for the Therapy Intensive. Some goals can be reached in a 1 Day Intensive (2 hours), but other goals are more complex and may require a 3 Day Intensive. I can help you determine the number of days that would work best for your therapy goals.
If I already have a primary therapist, can I do an intensive as adjunct therapy?
Absolutely! Therapy Intensives work very well as an adjunct therapy. I would ask that you sign a Release of Information so that your child’s current therapist and I can collaborate/coordinate to best serve you.
Can my insurance help pay for Therapy Intensives?
As Therapy Intensives are a premium service and do not include a formal diagnosis, this service is not covered by insurance.
When are payments due?
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.
