feel confident offering intensives

Online Clinical Consultations for Intensive Therapy

You want to offer intensives in your therapy practice, but you feel stuck.

Maybe you’ve done an intensive or two with your clients. Now you are hooked and want to do more of them, but you don’t know where to go from here.

Or maybe you’re still getting ready to offer intensives. Paperwork, scheduling, marketing, it can all be so overwhelming.

Perhaps you want to offer intensives but the model you’re thinking of is one you haven’t seen other people offering. You’re feeling a little lost about what you should do next.

i’m amy

I’m a Level 2 trained IFS therapist. I have a private practice near Charlotte, North Carolina where I offer IFS Intensives as well as traditional hour-long therapy session.

As soon as I completed my first intensive with a client I knew I was hooked on working this way. It never ceases to amaze me how much transformation can happen in a single afternoon.

I also love collaborating with other clinicians as they begin to dream big about the things they could offer in their own practices. They just need a little support in order to get there.

DEEP HEALING WORK

What My Practice Looks Like

Here is a little glimpse of the kind of work I do, the issues I frequently work with and what it all looks like in my practice.

  • I love doing deep work with people. Everything I do is focused on getting to the root of the issue to create change at a deep level.

  • I most often work with parents who are raising kids with high support needs. The kids may have complex medical needs, autism or any number of issues they are struggling with.

    A high percentage of the women I work with have ADHD and almost all of them have been diagnosed well into adulthood.

    Everyone in my practice is over the age of 18. Most of them are in their 30s, 40s and 50s. Typically they have kids who are school aged. Most of my clients are women, but I also enjoy working with men.

    A high percentage of my clients are in caregiving professions such as teaching or counseling.

  • Most of the work I do is at the intersection of trauma and parenting. Here is a list of some things that I do a lot of work around.

    Anxiety

    Complex trauma

    Relational and developmental trauma

    Depression

    ADHD

    Anger

    Overwhelm

    Emotional regulation

    Grieving the life they thought

    they’d have.

    Childhood abuse

    Caregiver burnout

  • I absolutely love using IFS and it is the only model I use any more. It allows me to go deep with my clients and support them in healing at a deep level.

    Although I offer traditional hour-long sessions, my favorite way to work is in 3-hour intensive sessions. I have a number of clients who are using these 3-hour sessions on a long term basis to process trauma. They typically attend therapy with me every 4-6 weeks to do another piece of work together. I am constantly amazed at how quickly they are able to make progress in this way.

  • I offer 3-hour intensives twice per week. Once on a weekday morning and once on a Saturday afternoon.

    Most of my clients treat them like a weekly therapy appointment. But intstead of coming in every week or two for an hour, they come in every 4-6 weeks for 3 hours.

    I have a number of clients doing long-term trauma work in this way.

  • Taking insurance and offering intensives at the same time can be tricky. There is not a lot of clear guidance from insurance companies on intensives.

    There are a few different ways to offer intensives in an insurance-based practice. I have either considered or done most of them. At the end of the day I want to be able to serve my insurance clients, offer intensives and stay out of trouble.
