I’m so glad you’re here. If you’re looking for real change—sooner rather than later—then you’re in the right place. Welcome to Therapy Intensives, where deep healing happens in days, not months.
I’m Michele Caton-Richardson, a licensed therapist with over a decade of experience, and I specialize in Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR)—a leading, evidence-based therapy for processing trauma. Simply put: EMDR changes lives. And in an intensive format, that transformation happens faster and more powerfully than in traditional weekly sessions.
If you’re nodding along, a Therapy Intensive might be exactly what you need.
Instead of spreading therapy out over months (with stop-and-start progress), an intensive lets you go deep and get results FAST.
For a few days, you’ll step away from daily distractions and prioritize YOU. Some people even take time off work, book a hotel, or treat it like a personal retreat—where deep healing takes center stage.
This isn’t just about time efficiency. It’s about lasting transformation.
You don’t have to wait months to get there. Let’s start now.
Pre-Intensive Interview
A 90-minute session where we’ll clarify your goals and pinpoint the painful memories, beliefs, or emotions you want relief from.
Personalized Workbook
A custom guide to track your progress before, during, and after your intensive.
Customized Treatment Plan
A focused, virtual therapy experience designed just for you. Sessions are scheduled for 1-3 days, with 3-hour blocks each day.
Post-Intensive Follow-Up
A 90-minute session to reflect, integrate insights, and map out your next steps.
Anyone who wants relief now. Whether you’re navigating trauma, anxiety, relationship struggles, or major life changes, an intensive gives you the space, support, and structure to heal—quickly.
In a typical 50-minute session, you get about 30-40 minutes of deep work. With an intensive, you’re getting 2.5 hours of pure, focused therapy per session—the equivalent of five weeks of therapy in one day!
That’s great! Intensives can work alongside your regular therapy. With your permission, I can collaborate with your current therapist to best support you.
Studies show that intensive EMDR therapy reduces PTSD symptoms faster, with lower dropout rates. In short: it works.
Online for residents of Arizona, Nevada, and Texas. Many people take time off or treat it like a personal retreat with self-care activities like yoga, massage, or journaling between sessions.
Absolutely. Instead of paying for months of therapy, an intensive accelerates healing in just days—often making it more cost-effective in the long run.
Therapy Intensives aren’t covered by insurance, but some out-of-network benefits may reimburse a portion. It’s best to check with your provider.
