Getting Started
30 minute Zoom consultation
Developing a strong therapeutic alliance is one of the most important pieces of an intensive and I offer a free video consultation to ensure that I am a good match for you. After your consult is scheduled, we’ll meet so that I can learn a little bit about what you’re hoping to achieve with a therapy intensive and I’ll answer any questions you have. If we decide to move forward, we will schedule your intensive and your 50% deposit will be due. If I am not the right therapist for you, I can provide you with referrals to other therapists who may be a better fit.
New Client Paperwork
You will receive a link to complete the intake paperwork electronically through my electronic health record system, Sessions Health. Please complete the necessary paperwork at least a day prior to your Intake Assessment so that your appointment runs smoothly. If you do not complete the paperwork prior to your appointment, we will have to reschedule for another time.
Intake Assessment (via Zoom or in person at your location)
We’ll meet for 2 hours to talk about why you’re seeking an Intensive, your background history, and develop our treatment plan/identify goals for the Intensive. The Intake Assessment can be done via telehealth 1-2 weeks prior to your first Intensive Day or on the same day as your first Intensive session (either telehealth or in person at your location).
Intensive Day (via Zoom or in person at your location)
We’ll spend 4 hours per day using Brainspotting or EMDR to do a deep dive into your issue/concerns. Intensives days can be done via telehealth or in person at your location*. Some clients enjoy treating their Intensive like a personal retreat and book a room at a nice hotel or schedule a massage after their session.
Post-Intensive Aftercare Session (via Zoom)
A few weeks after the Intensive, we’ll meet via Zoom to discuss your experience, progress you’ve noticed, and identify what comes next for you. We’ll put together an aftercare plan to help you continue working towards your treatment goals.
* In-person sessions at your location are only available for Michigan clients.
