Family Therapy Intensives
Customized, high-impact support for families in distress
Focused Support. Lasting Change.
Maybe your child has disclosed some information or had some really scary questions - and you thought you could handle it but now your family is rocked to the core because it’s just…eating away at everyone.
Your precious child can feel your distress, and now you’re worried he’s trying not to be upset…but you know he is.
There are LAYERS.
And now it’s gotten to a point where you can’t wait anymore. You just know you, your child and your family needs help, you called around, everyone has wait lists, the offices look dark and unappealing…but really you wonder, “can an hour a week really help here?”
When your child is struggling, every day can feel like survival mode.
You’ve tried everything you can think of, but nothing is working. It’s just getting worse.
The emotional outbursts. The school refusal. The constant anxiety or withdrawal.
And all the while, you’re just barely holding it all together—for your child, your career, your family.
You don’t need more time. You need the right kind of help.
The once-a-week therapy model was created for adult brains.
But when your child’s nervous system is stuck in survival mode—or your family is facing a big transition, high stress, or longstanding challenges—once a week may not be enough.
That’s why I offer intensive therapy options:
Customizable, high-frequency sessions designed to jumpstart growth, restore connection, and create meaningful change—faster.
Why Choose Intensive Therapy?
Intensive therapy gives us more time—more time to attune, repair, explore, and practice.
It’s ideal for families who need:
Support during a developmental window or major transition
A deeper dive into therapy after hitting a plateau
Fast, effective help when things feel urgent or stuck
A “reset” or fresh start with clear goals and a shared plan forward
This is therapy that moves.
Deep. Fast. With a clear end-point.
The Science Behind It
Children’s brains are highly responsive to repetition, rhythm, and relationship.
By increasing the frequency or length of sessions, we help:
Strengthen regulation and emotional flexibility
Rewire protective responses into new patterns of connection
Build core capacities like body awareness, communication, and self-agency
Create neural networks that support resilience—long after therapy ends
How It Works
Intensive therapy is always customized to your family.
Options include:
2–5 sessions per week over a 2–6 week period
90-minute or two-a-day sessions
Mini-retreat style intensives for out-of-town families
Ongoing six-week follow-up care after the intensive is complete
All intensives include parent collaboration and coaching as an essential part of the process.
This is the power of neuroplasticity. When we pair it with safe, relational play, children grow in powerful ways.
The Parent Piece
You are your child’s greatest resource.
That’s why intensive therapy has time for parent education and coaching built into it with opportunities to observe and practice co-regulation in real-time. You’ll also receive personalized guidance for supporting your child at home, and strategies grounded in Synergetic Play Therapy, and relational neuroscience, and attachment theory - so you can continue to strengthen your secure attachment within your family.
You’ll gain tools and insights that strengthen your relationship and empower your parenting—long after the sessions are done.

Real change is possible—in less time than you think.
