Intensive Psychotherapy

Intensive cognitive behavior therapy is an exposure-based treatment and consists of 1.5 – 2 hour therapy sessions two or more times per week. Individuals work one-on-one with their treatment provider to tailor a plan designed to confront anxiety-provoking situations while refraining from unhelpful responses such as avoidance, safety behaviors, and/or compulsive behaviors. As treatment progresses, individuals learn that they can handle uncomfortable situations, and experience a significant reduction in fear.

 

This treatment is most effective for treating Specific Phobias, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Panic Disorder, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and School Refusal, and can be undertaken with adults, adolescents, or children. Cost varies according to the number of visits recommended per week. ​​​
