Are you ready to truly dive in to your healing experience?
We offer 90-minute Extended Therapy Sessions and 3+ hour Therapy Intensives.
Extended sessions provide the advantage of more time, allowing you to dive deeper into the therapeutic process and make significant progress within a shorter timeframe.
Therapy Intensives take this a step further, offering multiple hours of focused therapy in concentrated formats. These intensives can be scheduled in half-day, full-day, or multi-day blocks, giving you the opportunity to address deeper issues, accelerate healing, and achieve meaningful results in a highly focused and immersive setting.
Is a Therapy Intensive right for you?
Benefits of Therapy Intensives
Therapy intensives are concentrated, longer sessions held more frequently within a shorter timeframe. By minimizing the time spent on check-ins or addressing new issues that arise between standard sessions, you can maintain focus on the core therapeutic process. Therapy intensives offer a deep, immersive experience, giving you the opportunity to fully engage with your inner work and better understand your triggers. This extended focus on a specific concern allows for more substantial progress in a shorter period of time.
Because intensives are scheduled for longer blocks of time—whether in a single day or spread across multiple days—they offer more convenient scheduling. This format reduces the need for frequent weekly or bi-weekly sessions, meaning less time off work or away from family, while still allowing you to make significant therapeutic progress.
Therapy intensives can be more cost-effective than weekly sessions, despite the higher upfront cost. They reduce the need for frequent time off work, travel, and regular childcare expenses, while offering a VIP-level service with quicker, more focused therapy in a condensed timeframe for faster results. Think of it like bypassing the lines at an amusement park—you get intensive transformational therapy in less time, but with greater benefits. This format also allows for the inclusion of more complementary and alternative treatment options that aren't always feasible in standard hour-long sessions, further enhancing the value. Additionally, intensives are scheduled at convenient premium times, such as Fridays, evenings, and weekends, making them both efficient and accessible.

Each Intensive begins with a 90-minute Pre-Intensive Interview. During this session, we will meet virtually to determine your goals for the intensive and to prepare you for the experience.
You will receive a customized workbook that includes activities, journal prompts, and more. This workbook will help you to prepare for your intensive, while also allowing you to keep a record of your healing journey, before, during, and after our time together.
The structure of your intensive can range from 3-15 Intensive hours. These sessions can be done virtually or in-person in Ottawa. The Healing Yurt is available for Retreat Intensives. Weekday, Evening and Weekend Schedule is available for Intensives

Why do we call our price list an investment instead of a cost? By definition, cost is just an expenditure of money, time, or resources while an investment is an expenditure that is sent out because it has the possibility of a return. We say investment instead of cost because you are not simply expending resources when you engage in psychotherapy, as you journey with your psychotherapist, you are investing in yourself, your health and wellbeing.
