Intensive Therapy
Weekly therapy isn’t always the right answer.
Maybe you’ve tried it and found that every time you’re starting to make some progress, your 50 minutes is up, and the next session feels like starting all over. Perhaps you’ve never even tried it because your busy schedule simply doesn’t afford you the flexibility in your schedule.
Whether you’re an adult ready to break unhelpful patterns in your life finally, a stressed-out parent or professional craving balance and connection, or an entrepreneur battling imposter syndrome and self-doubt…please know change is possible. With intensives, it can happen in a way that works for you and your already busy schedule.
Helping adults put the past to rest and get back to feeling like themselves…fast!
Intensives are concentrated therapy sessions designed to deliver accelerated results.
Intensives are investments in your overall well-being—and, believe it or not, often come out less expensive than traditional therapy. In a single 3-hour intensive, you can accomplish what will likely take months of weekly therapy. At $150 or $200/session, this adds up quickly.
When you choose an intensive, you’re not just saving money—you’re saving time, too. This model is focused on spending focused, concentrated time on the deep work that will actually result in change in your day-to-day life.
Individual sessions are available in 3-5 hour lengths and may be offered in 1, 2, 3, or 4-day formats. Sessions may be scheduled consecutively or on separate weeks.

Hi! I'm Heather Madigan, (she/her) a licensed clinical social worker. Whether you’re searching for purpose, identifying personal values and goals, or if the demands of modern-day life have left you feeling anxious and unproductive, I know there is a way forward. I am committed to creating a space where we can explore the impact of past wounds and trauma, identity, values, and life transitions and develop (and maintain) new skills that center your personal growth in the work.
Outside of the office, I can be found walking behind my two rescue dogs, Kota and Olive. I love to get lost in mystery and crime novels, take on too many DIY projects that are rarely completed, and camp during warm weather.
I offer intensives for the following issues:
folks experiencing life transitions or new stages & phases of life
kickstarting new routines, goal setting, and people who want to increase their accountability for change
ADHD skill building
Anxiety & Depression
Internal Family Systems Mapping and Exploration
Information about Therapy Intensives for Trauma, Anxiety, Depression, or ADHD
We know your circumstances are unique, so I believe your treatment should be, too. We customize each intensive package according to each client’s unique situation, needs, and goals.
Intensives are for you if…
you’re too busy for weekly therapy but want to heal + feel better ASAP
you prefer to have longer sessions where you can hyperfocus + go deep
you have a big life event coming up (marriage, family reunion, big move, new job, psychedelic/plant medicine ceremony) and need to do some emotional processing before or after
-
Therapy intensives help clients go deeper and get results faster. Rather than stopping and starting in 1-hour blocks every week, intensives allow you to set aside a larger chunk of time to do the deep work necessary to achieve real, long-lasting change. This is a cutting-edge, research-backed approach to therapy. Our work together will be focused, in-depth, and personalized to you & your goals.

Intensives encompass a number of different sessions and avenues for support. We’ll customize each of the following based on your needs:
Consult: We’ll start with a 20-minute consultation call to ensure this model is the right fit for you, and that I’m the right counselor to support you. During this time, we’ll also determine the length and number of intensive sessions you are likely to need. This can always be adjusted later, if needed.
Pre-Intake: You’ll complete a detailed intake packet sharing about your background, current challenges, and goals.
Intake Session: We’ll meet for a 50-minute intake session to review additional information and create a detailed plan, including goals and outcome measures to ensure we can accurately track your progress.
Plan: I’ll craft a customized plan combining both talk therapy, Brainspotting, and Accelerated Resolution Therapy to help you achieve deep healing.
Intensive Session(s): We’ll meet for the selected number of sessions. They can occur in-person in my office in Roseville, on-site at a vacation rental or other venue within a 15-mile radius of Granite Bay, or online anywhere in CA and TX.
(Optional) Post-Intensive Session: To measure your progress, debrief, and ensure you feel well-equipped to integrate your new insights into daily life, we can meet for an optional 50-minute post-intensive session.
