Therapy Intensives
Sometimes weekly therapy sessions for three to six months are not the best format for getting the help you seek. Intensives are short-term, focused interventions intended to move people past stuckness and increase momentum for change. Dr. Deacon is willing to provide these marathon-style therapy sessions as an effective method of intervention for specific contexts and issues.
“The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction, not a destination.”
— Carl Rogers
Let’s try a better approach together.
These sessions are conducted in half-day, full-day, and 3-day formats with established plans for how the time is to be used to meet the client’s goals.
Before intensive therapy is contracted, Dr. Deacon will conduct a thorough assessment of your history, health, resources, needs, and goals. If she feels short-term, elongated therapy sessions may be appropriate, she will contract times and fees with you before moving forward. Specific plans are also made for follow-up care to reinforce growth and progress after the intensive.
