FAQs

Intensives can range from anywhere between 2 and 6 hours total with breaks. Intensives typically begin mid-morning.

It is hard to predict when to wrap up. Times to end are rarely exact. However, if there is a request for a full-day intensive during a scheduled half-day, we can discuss options in session.

Please check your policy’s out-of-network benefits ahead of time to verify the details of your coverage. Ryan will provide you monthly invoices for you to submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.

I will support clients in Massachusetts with intensive therapy sessions (8-14 sessions) while in collaboration with their primary therapist. This type of joint work can often push forward other forms of therapy when their appears to be a stuck or resistant place. We will decide on this design in our opening consultation.
