Therapy intensives eliminate the usual stop-and-start of traditional sessions—no need to spend time catching up or winding down. Instead, you get extended, uninterrupted time to focus on what matters most.
This focused, immersive approach allows for deeper emotional work and faster progress—often achieving in one session what might take weeks or months with weekly therapy.

Therapy Intensives are the perfect solution for children/teens with hectic schedules who might not be able to commit to weekly therapy sessions. Whether they're balancing after-school sports, extracurricular activities, or other obligations, intensive therapy offers a flexible option for addressing anxiety and developing coping skills.
With condensed sessions that deliver tangible results in a shorter timeframe, children can still receive the support they need without sacrificing their busy schedules. It's a convenient and effective way to prioritize mental health and well-being while juggling life's demands.
And as a bonus… these sessions can be held in the comfort of your own home! (Northern NJ residents, only)
Modern Therapy Your Child Will Actually Connect With
If your child is dealing with big feelings, people-pleasing, perfectionism, or just can’t seem to shake their anxiety—this intensive might be the turning point you’ve been hoping for.
Hi, I’m Kristen
I specialize in working with children and teens who are anxious, overwhelmed, and sensitive to the world around them.
My approach is different: I combine evidence-based methods like EMDR + CBT with creative, kid-friendly strategies that make therapy feel less like a chore and more like a reset.
This isn’t traditional, sit-on-the-couch therapy.
It’s focused. It’s supportive. And it actually works.
Together, we’ll get to the root of what’s going on and give your child the tools they need to feel calmer, more confident, and more in control—all in a condensed timeframe that doesn’t require months of weekly sessions.
The structure is as followed…
-
Before the session, we will conduct an initial assessment to understand the child's needs, goals, and any existing therapy they may be receiving.
The intake lasts between 60-90 minutes.
-
You & your child will receive resources, assessments, and a personalized treatment workbook prior to our therapy intensive.
-
Unlike traditional sessions that lose time to check-ins and wrap-ups, the intensive is a long, uninterrupted block focused entirely on deep, meaningful work. This immersive approach allows your child to process emotions, build coping skills, and make real progress—faster.
We will use EMDR, DBT, CBT, parent coaching, and other modalities that are predetermined.
-
Offer guidance and support to parents/caregivers on how to reinforce therapeutic concepts at home for longevity.
-
Follow-up appointment 2 weeks later to monitor progress and adjust the treatment
