Intersections Wellness Intensive treatment, LLC

Customize your treatment to fit YOU - in PA or SC

Each person deserves customized care: therapy geared to your specific needs yields optimal results.

Intensives are 2-6 hours of treatment, often for multiple days - scheduled consecutively or intermittently as best suits your individual needs.

SC Intensives: Are available in the Charleston region, in an office; or curate a retreat-style intensive experience by the beach.

PA Intensives: Are typically conducted in my Beaver, PA office; or choose a retreat-style setting to enjoy nature.

Advantages of intensives

Fast results: Most intensive clients experience significant improvement in mood and functioning following their intensive.

Less hours overall are spent in therapy with intensives.

Schedule therapy when it fits in your life - no need to center your weekly schedule around a therapy appointment.

EMDR Intensives alleviate much unnecessary suffering. No more struggling to manage symptoms between weekly/hourly sessions, when memories are activated and unresolved.

Intensives may be ideal for you if:

You have insight from being in therapy, but are still struggling in some areas. You have already put in the hard work; the EMDR will shift what is stuck.

You are busy and need to prioritize your functioning : executives, healthcare professionals, first responders, college students, parents

You have difficulty accessing emotional material in a short amount of time

You experience your emotions intensely - thus benefit from a flexible structure that allows for restorative/stabilizing activities to be integrated throughout the reprocessing.

You have a treatment goal of sexual assault recovery, VCAP funds can be used to pay for intensives. If the event took place in Pennsylvania, you do not need to have reported it.

Why an intensive may NOT be right for you at this time:

Insurance does not cover intensive treatment at this time. Cost can be prohibitive, unfortunately.
Some people do best with the hour per week model. For these people, an hour gives just enough time to complete a target, and they function well during the days between sessions, or use the days between sessions to rest and recover from the toll of the reprocessing.
If you have significant dissociation that is not yet well managed, an intensive would likely be destabilizing. To be clear, people with dissociative disorders can benefit from intensives. Clients who have a solid awareness of their dissociative profile, and are grounded in working with their parts/ego states, may be good candidates for intensives.
