Extended Sessions and Intensives

Extended Sessions & Intensives

I understand that sometimes a 50-60 minute therapy session may not feel sufficient to completely heal from trauma. Just as you begin delving deep into the issues that brought you to therapy, you have to pause and wait until your next session. I recognize the frustration and the desire for a more comprehensive approach. 

If scheduling conflicts and the demands of life make it difficult for you to commit to weekly sessions, I have a solution. My Extended Sessions and Intensives offer longer sessions that allow for uninterrupted exploration and accelerated healing. With these programs, you can have dedicated chunks of time solely focused on addressing the memories and symptoms that brought you to seek treatment. 

At InnerPiece Counseling, Extended Sessions and Intensives are specifically designed for trauma resolution, increasing motivation, and helping you overcome creativity and performance blocks. I aim to provide a supportive and transformative experience, giving you the tools and support you need to move forward in your life.

Extended Sessions

Extended virtual sessions, ranging from 1.5 hrs to 4 hrs, can bring several benefits to clients in therapeutic settings. As a private practice specializing in psychotherapy and trauma counseling, InnerPiece Psychotherapy & Trauma Counseling can provide clients with a unique and effective approach through extended sessions. 

Here are some reasons why extended sessions can be more beneficial than typical 60-minute sessions:

  • Longer sessions allow clients to delve deeper into their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. This extended time creates a space where clients can explore their concerns in more detail, facilitating a more comprehensive understanding of their issues and enabling greater progress in the therapeutic process.

  • With extended sessions, clients have the opportunity to maintain their focus and engagement for a longer period. This extended time allows for sustained concentration on their concerns, leading to increased insight, self-awareness, and personal growth.

  • Longer sessions provide a more continuous and uninterrupted experience. Clients can engage in a more seamless flow of conversation, reflection, and exploration, without the time constraints that can disrupt the natural progression of their therapeutic journey. This continuity can lead to a deeper and more meaningful therapeutic experience.

  • Complex issues, such as trauma, require sufficient time for processing and integration. Extended sessions offer clients the necessary time to process their experiences, emotions, and insights. This extended processing time can accelerate the healing process and facilitate more significant breakthroughs in therapy.

  • Extended sessions allow for greater flexibility in scheduling. With longer sessions, clients can often achieve their therapeutic goals more efficiently, as fewer sessions may be required overall. This can be particularly beneficial for clients with limited availability or those seeking a more intensive therapeutic experience.

Intensives

My therapy intensives offers a professional and tailored approach to therapy, providing extended session durations, concentrated focus, a condensed time frame, immersion and continuity, intensified experiences, and a customized structure. These benefits make therapy intensives a highly effective and transformative option for individuals seeking accelerated healing and personal growth. It differs from traditional therapy in several key aspects, making it a valuable option for those looking for a more immersive and focused therapeutic experience.

  • Therapy intensives involve extended session durations that can range from several hours to full days, as opposed to the typical 50-minute sessions in traditional therapy. This extended time frame allows for a more in-depth and immersive therapeutic experience, providing ample time for exploration and processing.

  • In a therapy intensive, the focus is on a specific issue or goal, allowing for concentrated exploration and processing. This concentrated focus enables accelerated progress and a deeper understanding of the underlying dynamics and patterns related to the client's concerns.

  • Therapy intensives are designed to occur over a condensed time frame, such as a weekend or a few consecutive days. This compressed schedule eliminates interruptions and gaps that can occur in traditional weekly or bi-weekly sessions, allowing clients to dive deeply into their therapeutic work and maintain a consistent momentum

  • By dedicating an extended period solely to therapy, clients can fully immerse themselves in the therapeutic process. This immersion often leads to increased momentum, continuity of insights, and the potential for more profound transformations compared to sessions spread out over time.

  • Therapy intensives provide a unique opportunity for clients to engage in a more immersive, focused, and emotionally impactful therapeutic experience. The intensity of the process can facilitate breakthrough moments, increased self-awareness, and accelerated personal growth.

  • Therapy intensives are customized to meet the specific needs, goals, and preferences of the individual or group participating in the intensive. The structure and activities are carefully designed to optimize the therapeutic process, incorporating various therapeutic modalities, techniques, and interventions to ensure the best possible outcomes.

The InnerPiece Intensive Program is designed to cater to individuals who would benefit from a more accelerated and focused approach to therapy. 

This program is particularly suited for those who resonate with the following situations:

Rapid Progression:

Time Constraints:

For individuals who find it challenging to dedicate sufficient time for weekly therapy sessions due to busy schedules or other commitments, our Extended Sessions and Intensives provides longer, uninterrupted sessions that can accommodate your limited availability.

Irregular or Unpredictable Schedule:

If your schedule is irregular or unpredictable, making it difficult to commit to regular weekly therapy sessions, our Extended Sessions and Intensives offers flexibility by allowing you to schedule sessions according to your availability.

Limited access to Specialists:

For those residing in areas where integrative therapists or trauma specialists are not readily available, our Extended Sessions and Intensives provides an opportunity to work with experienced professionals outside of your local community.
