Intensives

Customized Therapy Programs

​As an Integrative Somatic Trauma Psychotherapist, Averie practices from a therapeutic framework of EMDR and Brainspotting, weaving in elements of somatic modalities such as Somatic Experiencing, Hakomi Method, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Applied Polyvagal Theory, and Internal Family Systems. These work with the self-healing aspects of our biology, restoring balance to the nervous system, and influencing neural patterning so that deep and lasting change can occur. Combining interventions in a patient-centered and theory-driven approach promotes improved treatment outcomes. 

​

Trauma, anxiety, pain and ongoing health challenges can disrupt the body--mind's capacity to adapt and thrive. This approach can help to restore the body as a place of safety while growing capacity to process bodily memory, work through unprocessed emotions, complete incomplete stress responses, and restore a healthy relationship to ourself and the world around us. Techniques to sense and regulate body are offered, with time and space given to process trauma. 

​

Healing starts with establishing safety, especially for those who have experienced trauma. Averie offers presence, compassion, and curiosity. An attuned space is held on your journey of healing and integrating all the chapters of your story – past, present, and future.​​

Averie primarily offers intensives and/or works as an adjunct trauma-focused therapist.

​​

(1) ADJUNCT:  Averie works with individuals who are seeking trauma-focused therapy as a compliment to their current therapy. This allows for prioritization of goal specific treatment and focusing on aspects of trauma, while also receiving the support of your current therapist.

​

(2) INTENSIVES: For those ready to dive deep into trauma healing, Averie offers intensives, which are accelerated treatment programs with a start and end date. This short--term and intensive format may offer faster progress towards therapeutic goals. Meeting one to three times a week is possible, if schedules align.

​

An example program of six or nine 90 minute sessions:

During an initial interview session, intake forms and history are reviewed. Sessions two and three typically include workbook review (optional), treatment planning, and resource installation. Processing often occurs over the following sessions, with the last session including a post treatment reflection. 

All programs are customized to meet individual needs. Determining the length, frequency, and duration of sessions is a collaborative process. An optional customized workbook may be added to any program, which can aid in informing treatment, allowing goals to be addressed before, during, and after sessions. Ongoing sessions are also available for long-term support. 

​

An initial discovery phone call is offered at no cost. After the first session, patients receive a therapy guide filled with recommended resources and literature about therapeutic modalities at no cost. Consultation with a primary or referring therapist is also available at the beginning and end of treatment at no cost.

​

Total program investment is based on design. Session rates range from $150 per 45 minutes to $300 per 90 minutes. Fees may be paid by card (credit, debit, HSA) at the time of each session. Psychotherapy sessions are eligible for Superbills for the purpose of seeking out-of-network reimbursement. A customized workbook may be purchased. Additional consultation/collaboration with other providers may also be arranged at an hourly rate.
