Therapy Intensives

  • Are you ready to try something new? Therapy intensives are a great option if you want to:

  • N

    Accelerate progress by reaping the benefits of months of change into a supercharged few days; think of it like a therapeutic boot camp or personal growth retreat from the comfort of your own home

  • N

    Fit therapy into your busy schedule with minimal disruption and maximum flexibility. The weekly model works great for some, but is not ideal for those who do not have much wiggle room in their schedules

  • N

    Provide immediate relief from intense or overwhelming symptoms. Therapy intensives work quickly to flesh out the problem(s) that have been preventing you from being the best version of yourself

  • N

    Spend less money in the long run by reaching your goals in a fraction of the time

3 hours | Fast · Flexible · Effective

Not everyone has six months to work through a traditional DBT group program, and not everyone needs to. The All-Star DBT Skills Intensive is a personalized, 3-hour session where Dr. McCabe hand-selects the DBT skills most relevant to your specific challenges and goals. No filler, no generic workbook, just the best of the best, tailored to you.

In this intensive, you’ll build life-changing skills across all four core DBT areas:

  • Emotion Regulation, understand and manage your emotional responses more effectively
  • Mindfulness, stay present and respond rather than react
  • Distress Tolerance, get through difficult moments without making them worse
  • Interpersonal Effectiveness, communicate clearly and maintain relationships that matter

Ideal for anyone who wants to build DBT skills faster than the traditional model, prefers an individual format over group, or has tried DBT before and wants a more personalized experience.

3 hours | Deep Dive · Highly Individualized · Effective

Some questions about who you are don’t get answered in a standard 50-minute session. The Level Up! Identity Exploration Intensive creates the time and space to actually go there, to move through the identity-related questions you’ve been circling, confront what feels scariest, and start making the changes that let you live more authentically.

In this 3-hour intensive, you’ll:

  • Go deeper into your internal world than traditional weekly therapy typically allows
  • Work through identity-related questions with a psychologist who brings both clinical expertise and lived experience
  • Confront what feels most uncertain or frightening about who you are or who you want to become
  • Leave with a clearer sense of direction and the tools to keep moving forward

This intensive is a particularly strong fit for LGBTQ+ individuals navigating identity questions, anyone at a crossroads in their sense of self, or clients who want to make meaningful progress on identity work quickly and safely.
