Therapy Intensives for Trauma & Relationships in Dallas, TX
What is a Therapy Intensive?
If you've been in therapy before, you've probably had this experience: you're just starting to get to the deeper work and — it's time to wrap up for the day. The next week, something new has come up that needs attention, and it's hard to pick up where you left off. Months go by and you still haven't really worked through the traumatic incident you came in to address.
Now imagine you don't have to pause at 50 minutes. What if you could keep going for several hours — staying with the process long enough for something to actually shift?
Therapy intensives create the space for deep, meaningful healing to happen in a fraction of the time that weekly therapy requires. Does weekly therapy work? Absolutely. But for the right person at the right moment, an intensive can accomplish in days what might otherwise take months — with less total time and investment overall.
At Unfolding Collective, we offer intensives for individuals and couples. Some clients come to us knowing immediately that an intensive is what they need. Others transition into the intensive model after beginning traditional therapy when it feels clinically appropriate. We have a lot of flexibility in how we work, and we're committed to helping you find the path that best supports your healing.
The Process
The process for intensives begins the same way as all of our work: with a free consultation. We'll discuss what you're hoping to accomplish, whether an intensive is a good clinical fit, and answer any questions you have about the process. Most people book their initial session at the end of the consultation — but you're also welcome to take some time and book online afterward.
Our initial intensive session includes a thorough biopsychosocial assessment, typically around two hours. This is where we get genuinely curious — hearing about your current life, your history, and your primary concerns for our time together. While you're sharing, we're already beginning to piece together a path forward. When you share your pain, we hear your path to healing — and together we begin the journey down that path.
Availability
Therapy intensives at Unfolding Collective are a limited offering. Amanda holds a small number of intensive slots each quarter for clients who are a strong clinical fit. Intensive availability is primarily on Fridays and Saturdays, with occasional weekday openings. For clients in Washington and Colorado, multi-day in-person intensives are available on a case-by-case basis.
If you're interested in an intensive, we encourage you to reach out sooner rather than later — these spots fill quickly and are not always available.
Investment
Intensives are priced at a day rate of $1,500, which includes up to six hours of clinical time (with one 30-minute and two 15-minute breaks built in).
As with all of our services, Unfolding Collective is a private-pay practice. We do not accept insurance or provide superbills. We accept all major credit cards and HSA/FSA cards, and every client receives a Good Faith Estimate in accordance with the No Surprises Act.
