Therapy intensives

Therapy Intensives are an increasingly popular way of seeking therapy. Instead of (or before/during) meeting more frequently at 50 or 80 minute intervals, we will meet for three hours or more over the course of two or three days. Amy uses all of the training she brings to traditional couple's therapy and individual therapy including PACT (Psychobiological Approach to Couple's Therapy), AEDP, and Gottman.

In couple's intensives, Amy often explores the following:

Regulation, and coregulation through explicit felt sense of connection
Exploration of childhoods, providing education on attachment styles and patterns (explaining compassionately why you may be stuck in these patterns).
Understanding blockages to trust and connection
Making emotional repairs to current day issues and wounds of the past that keep coming up
Learning new ways of interacting | Relaxing into feelings of connectedness, commitment, and care.
Amplifying feelings of love, commitment, and excitement, particularly before life changes such as getting married, having a baby, or empty nesting.

You might opt for an intensive if:

You want change NOW, but aren't able to commit to a regular frequency for typical sessions
You want to jump start your therapy experience
Upcoming life transitions, including introducing a baby, retirement, marriage (pre-marital intensive)
One or both partners are currently out of state, but have the ability to travel to Colorado

Pricing and Availability

Availability

When scheduling an intensive, we will meet for three hours each day for two or three days (6-9 hours total).

Intensives are available in any combination of Saturday, Sunday, Monday.

If you are interested in an intensive, please inquire here, and let me know how soon you'd like to schedule, and what goals you'd like to work on, if known. Often I am able to work you in more quickly as I don't have to work around existing client scheduling.

Saturday/Sunday and Saturday/Sunday/Monday intensives are 325/hr (total investment: $1950 for 2 days, $2925 for 3 days)

Saturday OR Sunday + Monday intensives are 300/hr (total investment: $1800)

Isn't All That Therapy Exhausting?

Amy's style of therapy, particularly PACT, is espcially useful for therapy intensives. With an experieintial style, it is likely you won't be sitting for all three therapy hours. We get to the heart of the matter, and sometimes have a lot of fun too. I also have a trained eye for signs of dysregulation, and work to keep you calm and regulated during the session, which means less exhausted after session.

That being said, emotional processing can be hard on the body, and I will always encourage you to plan for self care after session-- good food and hydration, time outside/sunlight, time in water (eg: showering, bathing, swimming, soaking), exercise, solitude, quiet time together, etc can all be useful for helping your body feel better after emotional experiences.
