working less AND doing better clinical work…
So you can make a more-than-living wage while feeling confident in the work you’re making available to the world?
It’s not a pyramid scheme.
You don't have to scale into a group practice.
It won’t require you to become an internet personality or guru.
This magical solution is...
What if I told you as a therapist,
there was a way for you to…
- Hmmm, never heard of ‘em, does anyone buy those?
- Is this even ethical?
- How the heck would I market that?
- Are you sure this even WORKS?
The Therapy Intensive
Let me show you how.
The Therapy Intensives Academy
FROM CHAINED TO YOUR PRIVATE PRACTICE TO FINANCIALLY FREE & FULFILLED
A self-paced course designed to help you understand therapy intensives, create your own, market effectively (& ethically), and sell them to scale your practice and revenue without burning out or sacrificing your work.
ENROLL HERE!
Because here’s the thing: I didn’t just stumble into this model and make it work overnight.
I invested in programs that didn’t fully apply.
I tried strategies that overpromised and underdelivered.
I pieced things together, tested, refined, adjusted, and sometimes failed—until I built a method that actually works.
And now I’ve packaged it all—every lesson, every misstep, every system that actually gets results—into Therapy Intensives Academy.
So you don’t have to waste your time trying to figure it out on your own or second-guessing whether clients will pay premium fees.
You get the roadmap, the tools, the copy, the SEO strategies, and the mindset shifts that took me years to figure out—so you can start booking and making money faster.
I’ll help you revamp your practice on your timeline in a way that gives you more variety and deep fulfillment—without sacrificing clinical depth or burning yourself out.
Get access to ALL the insides of my brain and how I’ve built my practice to multiple 6-figures while living the life I want so you can do it, too.
For $5,000 less than hiring me as your personal coach.
Let me teach you all about therapy intensives and how they are the ticket to finally getting more freedom, flexibility, and financial security in your practice!
Nick Salisbury
"I was worried about having a sustainable private pay/OON practice. I have done 6 intensives, got off all insurance panels. I have 12 private pay clients. None of this was before the program.
I am so appreciative of your help. What 'sold' me on working with you was your kindness and flexibility with me during a really hard time. I feel like you actually care and present less salesman.
This has really changed my life and business."
You're so busy being a therapist (and maybe a partner, a parent, a person with a so-called "life"), that you don't have time to learn all the things modern therapists are doing these days (creating passive incomes, social media marketing, OH MY!).
Earning the money you need (or want!) while avoiding burnout isn't easy.
It doesn't have to stay this way though...
You're emotionally drained at the end of each work day, and the thought around leaving the therapy field grows evermore tempting day by day.
You're putting in more and more time in the evenings and on the weekends to try and learn all ways to be an entrepreneur.
You're basically throwing spaghetti at the wall trying to figure out the best investments that are going to get a good return on investment, only to realize you've bought way too many things you'll never even think about or touch again.
Soon, you completely lose interest in trying to think about how to make your business better, just accepting that this must be as good as it gets.
But not having any extra time to make improvements or changes (or not even having time to pee or eat lunch between sessions) is costing you:
YOUR SOLUTION IS INSIDE
"A month ago my practice completely BLEW UP with inquiries! Like averaging 1-2 a day... totally crazy! I am still processing what this means for myself and my business. It's still a mystery as to exactly what pushed it to explode like this, but I know it's due to the steady SEO work and support of your program."
Margot Lamson
Can you imagine how much your therapy clients would benefit from a truly focused deep dive with you?
Making a big impact doesn’t have to mean making yourself small:
Your rates smaller (or “more accessible”).
Your packages smaller (so people don’t shy away from commitment).
Your needs even smaller (who cares about you, it’s about the client).
If there was a HACK to a more financially fruitful, sustainable, impact-filled therapy practice…
It would be the Therapy Intensive.
An all-in-one deep dive session with your clients that weaves together your favorite modalities and clinical strengths.
✨ And no, I’m not just handing you one cookie-cutter template and telling you to copy/paste it. ✨
Inside the course, I’ll guide you through how to build your own unique intensive offering—one that you’re genuinely passionate about and excited to deliver.
Because when the structure works for you, your energy shifts… and that enthusiasm is contagious.
Your clients feel it. They want in.
That’s what makes selling and filling intensives feel aligned, easy, and authentic.
Confidence.
Clarity.
Clients.
Cash flow.
Raising my intensive rates gave me the confidence to raise my weekly rates, too.
Clarifying who I wanted to serve helped me attract better-fit therapy clients.
Learning to market intensives improved visibility for my entire practice.
Therapy intensives are like a rising tide... they lift everything else in your business.
AND THEY'VE DONE THE SAME THING FOR THE
100+ THERAPISTS I'VE DIRECTLY COACHED &
169 THERAPISTS WHO HAVE ENROLLED IN THE THERAPY INTENSIVES ACADEMY
across the U.S., Canada, and the U.K.!
Therapy intensives have allowed me to go FAR DEEPER with my clients and make a bigger impact in their lives (in a shorter span of time, overall).
Therapy intensives have made up 47% of my six figure revenue as a private practice therapist in 2024.
And they only took 130 hours of my time.
I finally found a way to prioritize myself alongside making an impact for my therapy clients.
Transition from seeing 22+ clients per week in the 50-min model to seeing 3-5 clients a week (with maybe 1-3 intensives per month on top of that)
Take a full 8 weeks off for vacation in 2024 (domestic and international travel)
Book 3 international retreats in 2025 to get more inspiration for how else I want to build my therapy and coaching businesses
Stop subletting cheap offices I wasn't proud to be in and move into a gorgeous space that is all my own and clients love
And they’ve afforded me the financial freedom and flexibility to….
Sound too good to be true?
Sarah thought so too.
"I've booked two intensives, gained TONS of new weekly clients at my higher rate, and nearly doubled my income. I just took TWO FULL WEEKS OFF and I still hit an $11-12k month. I hit my highest income month ever at $17k.
I 100% started out as a non-believer and thought it all sounded too good to be true but HERE I AM!!!!!!"
Sarah Oldendorf
I can’t wait to help you revitalize your passion for therapy as you implement therapy intensives into your practice.
SIGN UP NOW!
Just one year into my 1st job post-grad, I decided the burnout wasn’t worth it, so I ventured out on my own as soon as I was officially licensed.
… only to quickly find out that the UNCERTAINTY of private practice was also sending me into a spiral of burning the candle at both ends.
I did the deep dives on the Facebook groups steeped in negativity.
I underpaid myself, constantly asking, “How the HELL do I set my fees?”
I encountered impostor syndrome, my own “am I worth this amount” trauma flare-ups, perfectionism, all of it.
You, too?
I'm Amanda!
THERAPIST, CAT LADY, & INTENSIVE AFICIONADO
It was the turning point for me going from work I COULD LOVE if I wasn’t so damn burned out…
To truly enjoying the work I get to provide for the world while also building my own world experience around me.
Now I help therapists stop recreating trauma in their businesses by overcoming limiting beliefs about worth and finding ways to work smarter, not harder.
I believe that therapists shouldn't be forced or expected to only work in one way, and that more modern approaches to therapy are in the best service of our clients.
I stand for therapists being able to make a MORE-THAN-LIVING wage so that they can have a healthy career and life, and so that the therapy field can stop losing good clinicians due to burn out.
I created this course because adding intensives to my own practice was a GAMECHANGER for my clinical success, confidence, and income.
You can go through the whole course in a matter of days or weeks and implement it on your own timeline. This means you could book an intensive and make back your investment in a matter of weeks!
To energized, confident, and fulfilled as you enjoy the work you get to do AND the life it provides for you.
- Straightforward video lessons so you can absorb the material in whatever way works best for your brain—no fluff, no filler, just the info you actually need to start taking action.
- Fill-in-the-blank copy for your website to take all the guesswork out of what to say so your site gets noticed by search engines and your next intensive client—meaning you’ll finally have a site that brings you bookings, not just clicks.
- Done-for-you forms and client resources like informed consent docs, intensive agendas, and workbook outlines—so you can feel fully prepared, professional, and protected from the very first inquiry.
- Scripts for introducing intensives to past, current, and potential clients and for networking—because knowing what to say (and how to say it) helps you confidently sell without ever feeling pushy.

"I love that the videos are not overwhelming by being directly to the point. I worried everything would be too generic and would not be specific to my needs. Those fears were quickly put to rest.
Knowing you are there for support is SO good on days my brain just feels like its on overload. Working together feels like there's a light at the end of the tunnel.
Before: no intensives.
After: LOTS of intensives. I had 4 intensives booked in one month, this was great because I took vacation right before all four and did not have to worry about income.
Kathryn Fayle
I help therapists book their first, second, third, umpteenth therapy intensives!
And many of the therapists I've worked with already went through other programs that overpromised to get them more therapy intensives/private pay clients...and under-delivered.
I didn't just teach them the clinical side of intensives.
I didn't just teach them how to market their practice.
I didn't teach them to just manifest clients.
I taught them literally everything they needed to know...
from marketing strategy including what to do when intro calls slow down, or when their website views are up but the consult calls don't match
to overall pricing for all their therapy services so they finally feel both confident that they're charging what they need (rather than what they thought they 'should') & like their clients are more committed, too
to navigating difficult and uncomfortable conversations around money and decisions to get off insurance panels, raise rates, and (for sure) make the complete switch to an intensives-only practice.
What made the difference when they started working with me?

"I find myself really let down by the big promises/underdelivering dynamic that seems to happen really often and I truly could never say that about you."
Sam X Bruce
Peek a glimpse of what dozens of students have to say
Adrianne Wagner
"I had 1 person sign up for a 3 day intensive at the cost of $3500. I also had 5 new clients start. This is huge because it had been SO quiet on the client front.
Before: Anxiety filled. How do I attract clients period let alone client for big ticket services??
After: After: Hopeful. I've received more consultation calls and new clients than the previous 8-10 months combined. My confidence has grown significantly in discussing the value of intensives to potential clients. July will be a higher income month of the year thus far despite the 4th of July holiday and me being on vacation!
"I've booked 5 intensives this month all from Google searches. Before working with you, I was spinning my wheels, overthinking every move, unclear on my messaging, and stuck in content that didn’t convert. After? My voice is sharper, my offers are clearer, and I’m finally seeing consistent inquiries and aligned clients showing up.
Thank you thank you thank you! I'm moving in the right direction.
Mariah Zur
"Thanks to your coaching course lessons I've just converted TWO of my existing clients to intensives. Exactly as you suggested!"
Raisa Luther
"4 months ago I left my job at my group practice. I'm now at 12 clients, most of whom are paying $250. I'm doing some 2 hour sessions, and it's great to know that 12 clients can be my max. This is so great! I'm work like 15 hours a week max and I'm just living my life."
Tiffany Paul
"I offered an intensive to an existing client and she immediately said yes! We’re doing it next month. I find that it’s easier for my existing clients to say yes especially when we’re always rushing through our weekly sessions and struggling to end on time."
Bradlisia Dixon
"Raised my fees from 250 to 350 and almost full with my practice! I am in loveeee with my website!"
Natalie Eichorn
Ashley Jopling
"Before: I was charging $200/hour, regularly doing 90 minute sessions and intensives here and there. I was super not confident about intensives. No blog.
After: I'm now charging $300/hour. I am still doing my regular 90 minute session but I'm more confident in the sale and the offering of longer programs.
I also feel prepared to clinically navigate what I feel is most appropriate for higher risk clients who come in for an intensive, where I can outline what we need to do to develop the right kind of intensive container versus feeling pressured bc they are looking for a quick fix and want to spend money. I now have a blog and my web traffic is steadily increasing."
Deserah Telles
"You are the BEST coach I've had! I feel I am able to relate to you as a person, you break things down to where I can easily understand what I need to do and how to do it. I feel like in this program you consider all aspects of a therapist, which is primarily based on your on journey of trial and error, which I love. You literally have helped me work smarter, not harder. "
"I have dropped 3 out of 5 insurance companies that I was with when I started. I also now have 7-8 private pay clients at either $175 or $200 per hour when I only had one when we started and that person was at $150. I feel like I value my work a lot more and feel less burnt out than I did at the beginning when I was seeing so many clients a week."
Danielle sampson
"I've increase my fees and have had success with booking new clients who are willing to pay my full fee out of pocket. I'm beyond grateful for the guidance I've received from you. Thank you :)"
Elaine Luna
"I had one intensive and set up my website. Before I relied on headway and insurance and now I moving to self pay with focus on SEO and marketing."
Olga Konyakova
"Amanda's program has helped me feel more confident in my approach. I've booked a two-hour intensive and have been having more consults. Amanda has made a real impact on both my business and personal life."
Lesa Lightfoot
also booked multiple 4-8 hour intensives, after going through another coaching program for intensives that didn't get her the results she wanted

This is not for you if:
- You are 100% confident you don't want to do therapy intensives. You just want to stick to the 45-60 minute weekly therapy session model.
- You struggle with believing therapists are worth making a great deal of money and that this doesn't conflict with their ability to provide quality clinical care.
- You don't need more support with marketing, copywriting, or mindset work. My other course is probably a better fit for you in that case (see below).
- You're going through financial hardship or this investment means you aren't sure if you can pay your bills. This offer will be there when you're ready. Please check out my free resources as a place to start now!
This is for you if:
- You are a therapist who needs to make more money, but doesn't have time to dedicate to setting up a whole different stream of income.
- You're interested in offering intensives, but you don't have the time or energy to learn how to create, market, and sell them all on your own. You just need someone to tell and show you what to do, and to give you everything you need to launch NOW.
- You want to overcome some limiting beliefs about what you can and can't do as a therapist, and you're ready to embrace your identity as an expert in your field.
- You want to understand all the aspects of running a successful private practice (including marketing, copywriting, and overcoming limiting beliefs) that will benefit your practice outside of therapy intensives.
How do I know if therapy intensives are right for me as a therapist?
"I'm pretty impressed, and I'm super excited! The program worked! The videos are very detailed, with exact steps to take. And Amanda shows you how to do it."
Erin Burton
who booked her first intensive about a month after adding intensives to her website, and after a few more weeks was getting multiple consultation requests for intensives!
Liz Zhou
"I've been getting steady inquiries that convert into intensive clients. I stopped taking new weekly clients as I'm pretty full/want to do intensives only for a while. I'm stoked to take a month off and to know that intensives are brining in the income I need to enjoy some paid time off!"
Pamela DeVoe
"I’m so thrilled that I have booked a few new clients at my new rate of $250 per hour! I’ve also scheduled a few 90 min and 2 hour sessions at the rate of $450! I truly am so grateful for this program!
Daniela Blaser
"The course has sparked meaningful mindset shifts and helped me develop a different sense of ownership around my knowledge and expertise. I’ve restructured my offerings and nearly finalized all the SEO-optimized texts for a full website relaunch. I feel like I got a deal!"
Sam X Bruce
"Just wanted to pop in and say I have THREE intensives booked! I am truly shocked at how many people are interested. I'm really seeing the flow and I'm getting clarity on how to grow and improve things."
Whit Davis
"Biggest win absolutely was getting web site initial build done, learning about SEO. Money mindset shift has been just as valuable.
Before: scared, overwhelmed, caught in old money patterns
After: empowered, focused, AIMING TO THRIVE AND NOT JUST SURVIVE!"
Martha Carter
"The SEO info in the videos was exactly what I needed and a great starting point. It inspired my partner and me to launch my first website and set bigger income goals. I’ve started working with current clients in the intensive format."
Jen Reisenger
"I started the program with feeling shaky in having a $160 fee and am ending feeling confident in a $250 fee. I am working on an ongoing intensive basis with one client which has been a game changer income-wise. I've reduced my other income streams that I was using to support myself as my practice grew and am getting so clear about what is a professional fit for me right now (and what is not)."
Shannon York
"I booked a new client just days after posting my $500 fee! Raised fees for other clients which has given me breathing room while I work on marketing efforts."
Rebecca Steele
"This program is so well-organized into different sections, making it easy to stay on track and tackle everything in manageable steps. Working with Amanda has helped me increase my revenue, expand my creativity, and strengthen my overall business. I appreciate her open and inclusive approach, which allows for different ways of doing things to suit each practitioner's style."
Beth Freese
"What stood out is Amanda's involvement and thoroughness. I just booked my first 6 hour intensive - I'm pretty excited about that!"
Lindsey Cox
"I think you are a perfect fit for most therapists that are wanting to grow. I went with you over another coach because I felt like I was not just a number when working with you. I booked two intensives!"

Is this course right for me?
If you are a therapist who is tired of stressing about money, worried about being capped at your income, fearful of burnout if you keep pushing the way you have been...YES! This course is for you! I'm obviously going to be a big advocate of therapy intensives, but even if you end up not offering them, all of the other skills you'll learn in the course will help you feel less stressed about money, gain more time back in your schedule, and feel more confident in your business.
back
How long do I have access to the course?
You have LIFETIME access to the course, including any updates I make to the course. I'm often adding new content after group coaching sessions from questions my coaching clients are asking. It's become a running joke that I answer most questions in the live group sessions with "I'll post a video on that."
back
Is the course self-guided?
Yes! I make recommendations in the course of where to start and how to move through the content, but it's all up to you! You can start wherever feels most relevant to you. If you ever want to add on individual or group coaching for further individualized support, you have that option!
back
Is it worth the investment?
I am 100% confident that if you implement my guidance and advice, you'll be able to create a business that allows you to make big leaps in your income, clinical outcomes, and confidence. With intensives, you can gain back freedom in your life so you can stop feeling burnt out - or avoid it all together!
Seriously, if you book one intensive, the course will have paid for itself. Even at a $150/hr fee, you could price your therapy intensive at $1k.
Also - this course classifies as a business expense because it's for the sake of your professional development!
back
I’m short on time - what’s the time investment of this course?
I get it. A lot of you are considering therapy intensives because you are feeling pushed for time (and money), and juggling a lot right now. That's why I intentionally created the course in small chunks for you to learn and implement steps in simple, doable ways. I give you access to resources I spent hours creating that will help you get stuff done faster - SAVING you time.
Ultimately, it depends on how quickly you want to go through the course and implement everything you learn.
back
Can I actually make good money with therapy intensives?
Yes, I've done it and I've seen so many other therapists do it as well. Here are some real numbers from my practice:
June 2023: $9k
July 2023: $3.5k (took a weeklong vacation)
August 2023: $4.6k (was out at a training for a week)
September 2023: $9.7k
October 2023: $6.7k
February 2024: $11k
June 2024: $7.5k (was out of the country for a week)
Seriously - the earning potential is wild! You just need to have a good framework for how to implement these, and do some of the mindset work to get over any blocks in your way.
back
I’m just starting out in private practice or thinking about transitioning from a group practice soon. Should I invest in this course now or wait?
Learning from this course now can give you all the skills you need as well as a good framework for thinking about the practice you want to set up that works for you!
back
Is there a type or niche of therapist that is best suited for this course (or to run intensives)?
back
Is it ethical for therapists to charge a premium?
It’s time that we, as therapists, crush the societal whispers that say, “Your money doesn’t matter, as long as you’re making an impact and helping people.” I call bullshit. When your mental space is preoccupied with scarcity and burnout, it’s impossible for you to be completely client-centered and serve your clients at your highest mental capacity. So, in order to help our therapy clients get the most out of their sessions (and intensives!) we need to be rested, fulfilled, and well-compensated as therapists.
back
Do I have to show up on social media or market a bunch in order to sell intensives once I have them?
back
Do you offer any discounts for BIPOC/Queer therapists?
Please DM me @amandakbcoaching on Instagram for a personalized discount code if any of those apply to you.
back
When are the Q & A Calls?
You will have the option to add on Q & A calls when you purchase the course.
back
And I don’t think you have to flirt with burnout to do it.
The reality is, scrunching your own financial safety and freedom in the name of SERVING doesn’t actually help anyone.
I know you have a desire to make an impact for your clients.
But I know you also have a desire to make an impact for YOURSELF and the people in your life.
You want to LIVE instead of just working all the time, and you want the financial security and time freedom that allows that to be true without you taking a year-long sabbatical or shirking your responsibilities altogether.
If all of that feels true, therapy intensives are really the shortest path to a financially-fulfilling practice and the freedom you desire.
I know you’re going to LOVE THEM, so the question is…
