  • Private Pay Program
  • EMDR-Based Treatment

You Understand Why You Struggle. But You’re Still Stuck.

You may know what triggers your anxiety. You may understand that your fears are irrational or excessive. You have tried coping skills, deep breathing, reassurance, avoidance, or traditional weekly therapy. Yet anxiety still seems to run your life.

You may avoid situations you want to face or overthink decision. Maybe you experience panic or feel exhausted from trying to control every possible outcome.

Traditional therapy can be incredibly effective. However, meaningful progress sometimes feels slow when treatment is limited to one hour per week.

The Accelerated Anxiety Recovery Program was created for individuals seeking a more focused and intentional path toward anxiety recover.

Why Choose an Intensive?

More Focus

Dedicated treatment time allows you to step away from everyday distractions and focus directly on recovery.

More Momentum

Progress is not interrupted by a week between sessions.

More Skill Practice

You do not just talk about anxiety. You learn, practice, and apply evidence-based skills during the program.

More Unique

Every intensive is customized to your anxiety patterns, goals, triggers, and needs.

More Progress

The goal is not to replace all future therapy. It is to create meaningful progress through focused and individualized care.

What Makes This Program Different?

We do not begin anxiety processing until readiness has been established.

Anxiety-Focused Treatment

This program is designed specifically for anxiety, panic, worry, avoidance, fear of fear, and nervous system dysregulation.

Can I use insurance or receive reimbursment?

The Accelerated Recovery Program is a private-pay service and is not billed directly to insurance. Upon request, Counsel RVA can provide a superbill that you may submit to your insurance carrier for potential out-of-network reimbursement. Reimbursement is determined by your individual insurance plan and is not guaranteed.

Why private pay?

Intensive treatment is highly individualized and often extends beyond what insurance plans typically authorize or reimburse. Private pay allows us to focus on clinical needs rather than insurance limitations, session caps, and authorization requirements.

FAQs

Why choose an accelerated program instead of weekly therapy?

Traditional weekly therapy can be highly effective. An intensive is designed for individuals seeking a more focused treatment experience that allows for deeper exploration, greater continuity, and concentrated time dedicated to healing. The goal is not to replace therapy, but to create meaningful progress through intentional and individualized care.

Will I be cured after two days?

Healing is a process, and no ethical therapist can guarantee outcomes. The goal of this program is to create meaningful progress through focused treatment and help you move forward more intentionally than may be possible in traditional weekly therapy.

Can I participate virtually?

Yes. The program may be completed virtually when clinically appropriate and when licensure requirements allow. During your consultation, we will determine whether a virtual or in-person format is the best fit for your needs.

What if I already have a therapist?

Many clients continue working with their current therapist before and after the intensive. With your written permission, we can coordinate care to support continuity and help maximize the benefits of treatment.

How do I know if I'm a good fit?

The first step is a consultation. We will discuss your goals, history, and current concerns to determine whether the Accelerated Recovery Program is appropriate for your unique situation.

What if I am not ready for the program?

Not everyone is ready for intensive work, and that’s okay. Readiness is carefully evaluated during the assessment process. If additional preparation, stabilization, or a different level of care is recommended, we will discuss those options with you and help identify the most appropriate next step.

Is this covered by insurance?

The Accelerated Recovery Program is a private-pay service and is not billed directly to insurance. Upon request, we can provide a superbill that you may submit to your insurance carrier for potential out-of-network reimbursement.
