Are you a parent seeking effective and efficient therapy solutions for your child's anxiety, self-regulation, or behavioral management? Our intensive therapy treatments are specifically designed for children ages 5-16 who are experiencing "big feelings". My intensive therapy program offers tailored support to help children develop essential skills for emotional regulation and resilience, utilizing a solution-focused approach.

Intensive therapy sessions are longer in duration compared to traditional weekly sessions. This concentrated approach allows for targeted interventions and accelerated progress within each session. These interventions aim to build resilience, enhance self-confidence, and equip children with the skills to manage their emotions and challenges.

If your child's schedule makes weekly therapy tough, they only displays these behaviors within the home, or you want to expedite treatment, I provide targeted support for individuals seeking to address specific concerns or challenges. I invite you to call and learn more about this service, and see how this can be beneficial for your family!
