A 90-Minute Therapy Intensive: What to Know Before your Consultation
Tis is a 90-minute therapy session for people who don't want to wait weeks to get started or spend months circling the same issue.
Most people who choose this option are feeling:
overwhelmed
stuck
unsure what to do next
or like something needs attention now, not later
The goal isn't to fix everything in one session.
It's to slow things down, make sense of what's happening, and leave with a clearer direction.
Who usually finds this helpful?
This option can work well for:
individuals
couples
parents who want guidance around their child or family
People often choose an intensive when they:
want help sooner rather than later
feel mentally or emotionally scattered
don't want open-ended weekly therapy right away
tried therapy before and didn't feel it helped
If any of that sound familiar, this may be worth taking about.
What this is not
Just so expectations are clear, this isn't:
emergency or crisis care
a promise to solve everything in one session
a replacement for long-term therapy if that ends up being needed
Think of this as a starting point, not a final answer.
What actually happens during the 90 minutes?
The session is structured, but it's still a real conversation.
During that time, the therapist will help you:
understand what's really going on beneath the stress
notice patterns that may be keeping things stuck
organize thoughts and emotions that feel tangeld
talk through realistic next steps
You don't need to prepare anything ahead of time or "get it right."
The therapist will guide the process.
What happens after the session?
By the end of the session, most people feel clearer about what they actually need.
From there, a few different things might happen.
Some people decide to:
continue with weekly therapy
book another focused session
try specific tools or strategies on their own
get referred to a different kind of support
Some people keep working with us.
Others feel more settled after one session and move on.
There's no pressure to commit to anything beyond the intensive.
The point is clarity, not signing up for more than you want.
How this fits with your upcoming consultation
You already have a 15-minute consultation scheduled with one of our therapists.
This call is a chance to:
share what's bringing you in
ask practical questions
figure out what type of support makes the most sense right now
If this 90-minute intensive sounds like something you'd want to explore, just let the therapist know during your consultation. If it doesn't, that's okay too, it's simply one option available to you.
