What's the difference between weekly therapy and the intensive?

Pace and structure. Weekly therapy moves over an open timeline, a session at a time. The intensive is a defined four-week program for couples who want concentrated progress on a specific goal.

Do you do individual sessions within couples therapy?

Sometimes. If something in your individual history is getting triggered inside the relationship, I may recommend individual EMDR sessions alongside the couples work, the same as in the intensive format.

Is this covered by insurance?

No. PostScript is a private pay practice. You'll receive a Good Faith Estimate of costs before your first session.

How you’ll know therapy is working

Every client at PostScript starts with a baseline assessment, works through a structured plan, and gets reassessed against that same baseline partway through and at the end. You see your progress in scores, not just in how a session felt.

Start the conversation

Baseline

Before your first full session, you complete assessments matched to what brought you in. Depending on your situation, that might be the PHQ-9 for depression, the GAD-7 for anxiety, or the RDAS if you’re coming in as a couple.

I’ve also built my own questionnaires for patterns those standard tools miss, like the loop between poor sleep and anxiety. We set goals from these numbers.

The work

We meet weekly, or in a concentrated intensive if that fits your situation better.

I prepare for every session before you arrive, and I give you something to carry between sessions.

Reassessment

Around the four to six week mark, or at the midpoint of an intensive, you take the same assessments again. We sit down and compare both sets of scores side by side.

Adjustment

If the scores improve, we build on what’s working. If they don’t, I change the protocol. You know which one we’re doing and why.

Why I measure

I measure because I was a client once, and I often left sessions feeling a little lighter with no real sense of why, or whether it would last past Thursday.

A plan with numbers attached tells you exactly what changed and what didn’t.

PHQ-9, for depression
GAD-7, for anxiety
RDAS, for couples
Additional questionnaires I’ve built for patterns these standard tools miss, including the sleep-anxiety loop and the overlap between anxiety and attention
