Therapy Intensives

The version of therapy that fits the timeline you actually have.

ADHD Intensive

For women who need systems.

Two half-days spent on how your particular brain operates, what is actually costing you, and what to build in place of the workarounds.

What we cover

  • How ADHD works in your brain specifically, in plain language, including what your evaluation was telling you (if you have one)

  • The compensation strategies you built without noticing, what they cost, and which ones to retire

  • Executive function systems designed around how you operate rather than how you were told you should

  • How symptoms shift across your cycle, through pregnancy and postpartum, and into perimenopause

  • Rejection sensitivity, emotional regulation, and the parts that rarely appear in a report

  • Work: where it shows up, what to ask for, and what is worth disclosing

  • Medication questions worth asking your prescriber, and how to tell whether it is working

  • The shame that accumulates around time, money, and clutter, and what to do with it

  • Where to put your attention in the next ninety days

Format
Two half-days of three hours each, usually a week apart.

An optional partner session.

A follow up session two months after

You leave with
A written plan covering your systems and your supports

Fourth Trimester Intensive

Postpartum preparation, for women still pregnant

Most postpartum support begins after something already feels heavy. This begins during pregnancy, to prepare for common postpartum obstacles.

Two half-days in your second or third trimester, plus a session with your partner, spent preparing for the period everyone tells you to enjoy and nobody prepares you for.

What we cover

  • What actually changes in your brain and body the months after birth

  • Your own risk picture

  • Sleep, and a specific division of night responsibility negotiated out loud rather than assumed

  • Feeding decisions held loosely, and what to do when the plan meets reality

  • Intrusive thoughts: what they are, why they happen to most new mothers, and why they are almost never what you are afraid they mean

  • The difference between the baby blues, a mood or anxiety disorder, and an emergency

  • Warning signs, thresholds, and exactly who to call at each one

  • A support map covering who does what, in writing

  • A partner session on what to watch for

Format:

Two half-days of three hours each

45 minute partner session

Follow up session between 3-8 weeks postpartum

You leave with A written postpartum plan your partner, your mother, and your OB can all read.

Investment: $1,800

Perimenopause Intensive

For women being told it is just anxiety

One full day spent on what is actually happening, how to track it, how to be taken seriously by the people treating you, and what can genuinely be helped.

What we cover

  • What is happening hormonally, and what that does to attention, memory, sleep, and mood

  • Why this gets misread as anxiety or depression, and how to tell the difference

  • Tracking your symptoms in a form a physician will take seriously

  • How to prepare for and hold your ground in a medical appointment

  • What responds to psychological treatment and what needs a prescriber

  • ADHD that surfaces or worsens in this window, which is more common than most women are told

  • Identity and role change, meaning the part of this that is not hormonal at all

  • A plan for the next six months

Format One full day of six hours, with a break or two half day sessions, 3 hours each.

You leave with A symptom log you can hand to a physician, and a written plan.

Soft Launch

College transition preparation for high school seniors

Two half-days in the spring or summer before she leaves, an optional parent follow up session, and a check-in during fall semester or winter break (must be in IL for follow up session).

What we cover

  • Her specific patterns, and how they are likely to behave under new conditions

  • Routines that survive without anyone supervising them

  • Managing her own healthcare

  • Roommates, boundaries, and conflict she has not had to handle before

  • Sleep and alcohol

  • Consent and Coercion

  • Her own thresholds for asking for help, written down while she is calm
