In this episode of The Traveling Therapist podcast, Kym speaks with Steffeny Feld, an EMDR therapist based in St. Louis, Missouri, about the concept of therapy intensives. Steffeny explains how she assists therapists in incorporating therapy intensives into their practices. These sessions allow for deeper, more focused work with clients. They are particularly effective for trauma, couples therapy, grief counseling, OCD, fears, and phobias. Steffeny also discusses the practical aspects of organizing intensives, such as pricing and compliance with insurance policies. She notes that intensives can be more financially rewarding for therapists, providing the freedom to work less while traveling and still maintain a significant income. Kym and Steffeny delve into the logistics of conducting intensives, the benefits for both clients and therapists, and the ways to adapt these sessions to the unique needs of traveling therapists.

Key Points:

• Therapy Intensives Offer Deeper Engagement: Therapy intensives enable therapists and clients to dive deeper into issues, making significant progress in a short time.

• Flexibility and Financial Benefits for Therapists: These sessions offer a creative and financially rewarding approach for therapists, especially those who travel, allowing them to work intensively for short periods and then take extended breaks.

• Adaptable to Various Therapeutic Needs: Intensives are not just for trauma therapy but are effective for a range of concerns like couples therapy, grief, OCD, and more, offering versatility in therapeutic practice.
