At Mesquite Psychotherapy and Cnsulting, we offer EMDR and Brainspotting Intensives. A therapy intensive is a personalized, extended therapy experience that provides focused, in-depth treatment over several hours or days to help clients make meaningful progress in a shorter period of time than traditional weekly therapy. While regular therapy is highly effective and offers consistent support over time, intensives can be especially helpful for individuals who want to address a specific concern more deeply and maintain momentum without the interruptions that naturally occur between weekly sessions.

Therapy intensives can benefit individuals who feel stuck in traditional therapy, are navigating trauma, grief, anxiety, relationship challenges, major life transitions, or simply want focused support around a specific goal. They can also be a good fit for people with busy schedules or those seeking deeper therapeutic work in a condensed period of time, while recognizing that regular therapy remains an effective option for many individuals.

A therapy intensive offers several uninterrupted hours dedicated solely to therapeutic work, whereas a 53-minute session often includes time spent checking in about the week, reviewing updates, addressing immediate concerns, and transitioning into deeper therapeutic work. As a result, a significant portion of a traditional session may be spent orienting and reconnecting, while an intensive allows clients to move beyond the "catch-up" phase and sustain deeper exploration, processing, and skill-building without having to stop just as meaningful work is beginning.

The number of therapy intensives needed varies from person to person and depends on your goals, history, and treatment needs. Some individuals experience significant progress after a single intensive, while others benefit from multiple intensives or a combination of intensive and traditional therapy sessions to support lasting change.

Insurance plans are generally designed to reimburse medically necessary psychotherapy services delivered in standard session lengths and billed using specific procedure codes. Because therapy intensives involve extended blocks of time that often exceed insurance billing limits and may include services that are not covered under traditional psychotherapy codes, they are typically offered as private-pay services.

While insurance plans generally do not cover therapy intensives, we accept CareCredit, which may allow you to finance the cost of treatment through flexible payment options. If you are interested in using CareCredit, please let us know and we can provide additional information about the application process.
