What are the benefits of therapeutic intensives?

Expedited Healing

Extended time sessions and weekend intensives condense the therapy facilitated over the course of weeks or months down to hours or days.

Cost Effective

Many people spend extensive amounts of money navigating the maze of insurance companies through deductibles and copays. This is a one time fee for services.

Convient Scheduling

With busy schedules, family obligations, and work, making time for an intensive therapy session can save you time in the long term.
