Title: How to Launch Therapy Intensives in Private Practice: An Interview with Steffeny Feld, LCSW


Description:
Curt and Katie chat with Steffeny Feld, LCSW, Therapist and Creator of the Intensive Design Lab, about how therapists can bring therapy intensives into private practice. We explore how therapy intensives differ from traditional therapy, how to structure and prepare for intensives, clinical considerations for both clients and clinicians, and why this model can be particularly supportive for highly sensitive or neurodivergent therapists.


About Our Guest:
Steffeny Feld is a Therapist, Copywriter, and the Creator of the Intensive Design Lab where she supports therapists of all backgrounds and modalities to launch therapy intensives in private practice. Steffeny believes that therapy intensives are powerful and transformative for clients and the clinicians who offer them. She supports therapists to bring intensives into their practice so that they can work less and earn more while helping clients heal. Steffeny lives in St Louis, Missouri with her partner and 4-year-old son, Felix.


Key Takeaways:



  • Therapy intensives offer a distinct therapy format, not just longer sessions.




  • Therapists must assess client readiness and window of tolerance carefully.




  • Intensives can support therapist sustainability, especially for highly sensitive and neurodivergent clinicians.




  • Practical considerations include session structure, pacing, and client comfort.




  • Therapy intensives provide an opportunity for deep clinical work and income diversification.
