What if therapy didn’t have to take years to feel real relief?

My Therapy Intensive Packages are designed for adults who want meaningful change—without dragging it out week after week. Using ART & EMDR, intensives offer focused, personalized support to help you release what’s been keeping you stuck.

I put everything you need to know into one place.

If you’re entering the new year feeling anxious, burnt out, or stuck in people-pleasing patterns, this is your sign to do something different.

Therapy Intensives are designed for adults who are tired of coping and ready for real, lasting change. These focused, retreat-style sessions use trauma-informed approaches like EMDR and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) to help you get to the root of what’s keeping you stuck — without stretching the work out for months.

Many of my clients are neurodivergent and/or q***r adults who look “fine” on the outside but feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or exhausted from masking on the inside. An intensive creates space to slow down, process deeply, and reconnect with your authentic self.

✨ More clarity
✨ Less anxiety
✨ Real momentum

If you’re ready to start the year feeling lighter and more grounded, I’d love to talk.

FIRST THERAPY INTENSIVE OF 2025! We laughed, we cried, we colored, we ran through Deicke Park in the freezing cold and honored our inner child. This intensive was truly transformational. Visit my website to learn more about how Accelerated Resolution Therapy and Intensives can transform your life.

Hi everyone! 🌟 Exciting updates are happening at Liberated Life Counseling, and I can't wait to share with you one of the projects I've been working on these past few weeks. I've curated a collection of my favorite mental health YouTube videos and organized them into playlists. https://youtube.com/?si=UKp8jwnI7sDba14y

These are designed to be a valuable resource for both my clients and followers. 📚🧠

Why not take a moment today to explore one of the therapeutic exercises? They're great for soothing your mind. Or, delve into understanding anxiety better and learn coping strategies to manage it effectively. 🌈✨

I'd love to hear which videos resonate with you the most! 🌿💙

We are the only counseling practice in McHenry county using this new cutting edge therapy.

The reason why 𝘼𝙍𝙏 is so quick and effective is because it utilizes a variety of tried and true psychological approaches:
•EDMR
•CBT
•Exposure
•Mindfulness-Based Approaches
•Somatic Healing
•Gestalt

Integrating different therapies within ART allows for a flexible and individualized approach that addresses each client's unique needs and experiences.
During a session, practitioners and clients use intuition to decide the pressing issues that need addressing. A client uses sensation awareness and parts of their subconscious, encouraging them to recognize the most critical parts of their healing. A therapist will direct the experience using eye movements, scripts, and the client's feedback.
