BEGIN YOUR Healing JOURNEY
PsychoTherapy
Contact me for individual therapy, family therapy, or group therapy. I’m trained to see children ages 0-17 and I also see adults. I’d love to work with you or your kiddo! I’m trained in EMDR, brainspotting, Theraplay, Child-Parent Psychotherapy, ARC, TF-CBT, and am in the process of getting trained in expressive art therapy. I also utilize parts work and sandplay in my practice! As of right now, I do not have any ongoing groups, but sign up for my email subscription to receive information on when my groups start up. If you have any questions about my therapy approach, feel free to reach out at madison@healingandrest.com!

Intensive therapy
What is an intensive?
I offer two, three, and five-day intensives; each day will be approximately four hours of therapy with a few 15-minute breaks. The length of your intensive will be based on your individual needs.
Why choose intensive work?
Intensives involve a highly personalized treatment plan designed to support your preferred schedule and timeline for your treatment goals.
Perhaps you have had a felt sense that something profound has yet to change, but you’re not quite sure how to shift all the way into a new experience of yourself. Maybe you now cognitively understand new things, yet your body is still confused, so you’re curious about how intensive therapy can help as you work with your primary talk
therapist.Perhaps you’re needing help —- and a lot of it—- right now, and you don’t want to spend
months in the traditional weekly model of therapy treatment to feel better.Perhaps you are a current, weekly client who needs extra, focused support quickly.
Perhaps you are a new client who just prefers to work intensively.
The research:
Intensive application of trauma-focused therapy seems to be well tolerated in patients with PTSD, enabling faster symptom reduction with similar, or even better, results, while reducing the risk that patients drop out prematurely. Learn more here and here.
The economy is compelling: even compared to other trauma therapy, the intensive format may decrease treatment time, because of time not spent on a) checking in at the beginning of each session, b) addressing current crises and concerns, c) focusing on stabilizing and coping skills that the client won’t need after trauma healing, or d) assisting the client in regaining composure at the end of the session. Learn more here.
Keep in mind that I will never promise complete healing or a 360-degree transformation through any of these intensive programs. Healing takes time. The research, however, does indicate that the EMDR intensive format has a lot of science backing up its efficacy and efficiency!
