More time for the conversations that don't fit neatly into 50 minutes.
Some therapeutic work benefits from a longer runway. Serenity Wellness's extended sessions are designed for clients who want focused, private-pay therapy with additional time to settle in, work deeply, and bring the session to a more intentional close.
Serenity currently offers 90-minute individual extended sessions and a six-week couples extended option. Extended sessions are private pay and are not billed to insurance.
Support for what is getting in the way.
Feeling Cut Off by the Clock
50-minute sessions feel too short to dive deep into complex emotional topics.
Extended multi-hour sessions that allow deep focus without mid-session time pressure.
Focused Work on Specific Issues
Wanting accelerated progress for a specific life challenge, transition, or goal.
Customized intensive retreats or extended single-day blocks tailored to your goals.
Couples Needing Room to Connect
High conflict or deep distance that requires dedicated uninterrupted time together.
Intensive couples blocks providing the space needed for real repair and breakthroughs.
An extended session is not simply a longer appointment.
The additional time should have a purpose. Serenity uses the longer format to create more space for assessment, focused therapeutic work, skills practice, reflection, and integration. Your therapist can help determine whether an intensive or standard session format is more appropriate.
Start with a consultation
Discuss what you are hoping to work on, your current situation, and whether the intensive format is a good fit.
Define the focus
Clarify the goal for the session or program so the additional time is used intentionally rather than simply extending conversation.
Do the work and integrate
Use the longer session for focused therapeutic work and leave time to process what emerged, identify takeaways, and discuss next steps.
