What is the Accelerated/Intensive Treatment Program?

There is a large treatment gap between outpatient (one appointment a week in an office) and Partial Hospitalization Program or Residential. The Accelerated/Intensive Program is meant to fill this treatment gap for the following reasons:

1. Your clinical severity is in the moderate-extreme range (e.g., your panic attacks are happening every day and are very bothersome)
2. You want to see if you can avoid a higher level of care by trying an accelerated/intensive program first
3. You are in a time-crunch and need more sessions than 1x a week allows​

We recommend the Accelerated/Intensive Program for the following disorders:

School Refusal
(2-3 individual appointments and one parent session a week for at least 4-6 weeks)

Panic Disorder
(3-4 individual appointments a week for 1 week)

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
(2-3 individual appointments a week for 4 weeks)

Specific Phobia
(3-4 hours over the course of 1 or 2 days)

Major Depressive Disorder
(3-4 individual appointments every week for 8 weeks)

Social Phobia/Social Anxiety Disorder
(2-3 individual appointments every week for 3-4 weeks) 

**After your initial 90-minute intake, your psychologist can devise an accelerated program to specifically fit your needs.
