Custom Trauma and ADHD Treatment for Women in Illinois

I specialize in designing customized therapy services for highly motivated and deeply curious women. After a decade in private practice, one key thing I learned was that hour-long weekly sessions work well for some... and NOT for others. The more I began to specialize and work with my clients, the more I kept finding us running into the same barrier. We'd be dropping into some deep, really great work - new insights integrating with real shifts in their nervous system, clients feeling right on the verge of something BIG and transformational. Then time is up - WHAT?! The shared frustration and disappointment that went along with the excitement, hope, and sense of being on the cusp of real lasting change started to become unbearable. Especially when the shared sense was that just a bit more time, in THAT moment, would have been profoundly impactful. We didn't need hours on end or years of therapy, just a little longer increments to complete something we were in the middle of. 


So I took a leap into the unknown.

I followed my clinical training and instincts, not general business or system structures telling me "this is the way you have to do it." 

I went deep into learning everything I could about how to provide better therapy than the status quo I knew and connected with a community of trailblazer therapists. 

The things we all had in common: we were deeply passionate about our work, our clients, and our own well-being. We wanted MORE. 

 - more space for the deep transformative work that always felt right there 

 - more long-lasting impact for our clients and without it taking years of weekly therapy to get there

 - more space to take care of our own nervous systems so that we could show up as our best selves and provide the best service - not from a place of burnout.


The Result?

A curated service menu that you cannot find everywhere and that truly puts YOU at the center of everything. Explore below and on my Intensives page to see if this might be exactly what you've been searching for.


Did you know?

The standard 50-60min sessions were designed by insurance companies, NOT therapists or clients. While they work well for those that prefer regular check-ins or find processing in small bits most manageable, it holds back others who are really ready to dive deep and are seeking long-lasting change quicker, without a long-term relationship with a therapist.  


You do not have to be held back by insurance parameters. 


I've created the services listed below to allow YOU more choice in HOW  you receive treatment and in getting the RIGHT  kind of support you need. These services are not covered by insurance plans and are available as Private Pay only.

Therapy Intensives

Weekly and biweekly sessions are great for steady support, but they are more like treading water, helping you stay afloat week to week. 


Therapy Intensives are like putting on scuba gear so we can dive beneath the surface patterns, to explore what’s actually shaping the currents, and really understand what’s happening in your nervous system. 


Therapy intensives are NOT just longer sessions. They are very specific, targeted therapeutic experiences that allow for a deeper dive into a topic or goal over a condensed period of time (e.g., understanding anxiety and improving your ability to cope or breaking through the next level in trauma processing). They can be done in conjunction with regular therapy (with or without me) or in lieu of weekly sessions. It is highly customized for you and your nervous system, so that while more intensive that does not mean more overwhelming.  


Intensives can be designed in single 3hr or 5hr blocks, or packages with a few blocks scheduled across several weeks. Clients looking to work on complex trauma or childhood attachment issues often prefer to schedule a series of Intensives, or a combination of Intensives and Extended sessions, as these areas typically need more support than working on a single incident trauma for example. We will collaborate on the best individualized plan for you during the consultation and intake/planning process. Use my contact form to schedule a consultation to help determine the best form of treatment for you. 


Current Extended Session therapy clients may book single blocks of Intensive session time, outside of the package pricing. New Clients will need to start with an Initial Package (see the Intensives page for details), as we need additional time for assessment and planning that current clients have typically already completed during previous treatment. After starting the Intensive process, you may add on additional intensive blocks or Extended Sessions outside of the package rates.

Extended Individual Therapy Sessions

Longer sessions, available on a biweekly basis for really motivated and curious clients that are IN but also know they would benefit from ongoing support versus the very short term Intensive model. 


These are for individuals that find themselves frequently on the verge of something very helpful when time is up, and then you have to hold until the next session. Take the time you need, give yourself the space to do more... when YOU want it.


Extended sessions can be booked as 90 minute or 2 hour sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach out at intake@integrativecounselinggroup.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Weekly sessions become very relational over time and often can fall into more time being spent on small-talk or update conversations, which do have value but are not for everyone and do not serve many clients in achieving their goals. Intensives are for clients who are really ready and motivated to go deep, want to minimize the small talk, and are looking for more accelerated change in a specific area. Skip over the the Intensives page for more information.

No Surprises Act 


As of January 1, 2022, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who do not have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical services.

  • You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services.
  • Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least one business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider and any other provider you choose for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service.
  • If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
  • Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.

For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 800-985-3059.


No, Extended Sessions and Therapy Intensives do not have service codes that allow for billing to insurance and therefore are strictly Private Pay options.

However, you CAN use your HSA/FSA funds to pay for these services because they are healthcare services!


The duration of extended individual therapy sessions is 90 minutes or 2 hours.
Intensive packages can also be booked for deeper, highly focused work. Please visit my Intensives page for more information.

I do NOT offer traditional 53 minutes therapy sessions.


Virtual and in person therapy sessions are offered Monday through Friday. There are limited evening appointments available for Intensives only and no weekend availability. In person sessions are available on Tuesdays in Naperville. 


The first session is called an Intake Appointment or Initial Diagnostic Assessment and is unique from other therapy sessions in that there is a great deal of information gathering. It is focused on understanding you, the reason you've scheduled an appointment, and it is a key part of creating a customized plan to help you reach your goals. Although scheduling the first appointment can be anxiety-inducing for many, this is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and determine if we are a good fit to work together on the issues at hand, which often results in some immediate relief. 


Telehealth allows me to meet with you via computer/smartphone for online video sessions when needed for access to care and as a more convenient way to prioritize your mental wellness. ICG uses a HIPAA-compliant interface for your privacy and no video sessions are recorded/stored in any manner.
