Personalized Therapy That Supports The Reality of Motherhood
Option # 1:
Intensive + Monthly Resets
For the mom who wants a deep starting point and ongoing support to maintain momentum.
This option begins with a focused therapy intensive designed to help us go beneath the surface and work on the patterns, stressors, and unresolved experiences keeping you stuck.
After the intensive, we continue with monthly reset sessions so you have ongoing support, integration, and a place to recalibrate as real life unfolds.
This option is ideal if you want meaningful therapeutic depth without needing weekly appointments.
What’s included:
-
One 4-6 hour private therapy intensive
-
Personalized preparation and intake process
-
Customized treatment focus based on your goals and needs
-
Monthly reset sessions for continued support and integration
-
Optional between-session resources, reflection prompts, or support tools
-
A more personalized, continuity-based experience
Benefits:

Deep work without dragging healing out for months
-
Regular support without a packed weekly schedule

You know that you benefit from ongoing support and processing
-
You want help applying what we uncover to everyday life
-
You have fewer supports in your everyday life that will encourage you in your efforts at change

You like the idea of a premium, relationship-based container
Option #2 -
Quarterly Intensives + Light-Touch Support
For the mom who wants deep therapy at key points throughout the year with room to breathe in between.
This option is built around the reality that healing often happens in seasons.
Instead of weekly or monthly therapy, we meet for a deeper intensive once per quarter.
Between intensives, you receive light-touch support and curated resources to help you stay connected to the work without feeling overwhelmed by more appointments.
This model offers meaningful depth, structure, and spaciousness, but without the pressure of to-do lists or feeling rushed to make change all at once.
What’s included
-
Four therapy intensives across the year
-
Personalized focus for each intensive session, based on what is most present in that season
-
Light-touch support between intensives
-
Curated tools, resources, or integration prompts
-
A long-range structure for moms who want support without constant calendar pressure
Benefits
-
Premium care with fewer appointments
-
Built-in rhythm that fits real family life
-
Ideal for moms who like to work deeply and then integrate gradually
-
Creates a sense of ongoing support without overcommitting
-
Excellent for moms who know they need a check-in, with the need for the flexibility that comes with life.
Best fit
This option may be best for you if:
-
You are in a season of life that feels chaotic (i.e. job loss, divorce, grief, post-partum)
-
You do not want frequent appointments
-
You prefer focused, high-impact therapeutic work
-
Your schedule is unpredictable
-
You want a long-term framework without feeling tethered to therapy every week or month

WHY THIS MODEL WORKS
Intensives are Powerful
Traditional weekly therapy can absolutely be helpful. But for many mothers, it can also feel:
-
Too slow
-
Too fragmented
-
Hard to maintain consistently
-
Difficult to go deep when life is already overflowing and you have a million things to do and a million things on your mind.
Intensives create more space for:
-
Deeper processing (you're not rushing out the door to the next thing)
-
Clearer insight (you have the ability to sit with an epiphany and do some deeper unpacking of it).
-
Nervous system regulation (you get the chance for your brain and body to align into the relaxed state that is necessary for change).
-
Stronger momentum (you connect the dots more quickly)
-
more meaningful integration (a greater ability for you to have a realistic game plan for how to change more sustainably).
Rather than touching the work briefly and then rushing back into life, intensives allow us to stay with what matters long enough to create real movement.
And with the right follow-up support, that work does not just feel powerful in the moment - it becomes easier to carry and implement into everyday life.
About Me
.
Hi, I’m Edwige, but everyone calls me Eddie :-)
I am a therapist who has spent over 20 years helping women and moms navigate the stressors of life and motherhood. I'm also a mom to two young kids (6 and 2 years old).
I started out as a young clinician who had the passion to help women overcome trauma and break intergenerational patterns of trauma. This was before I had kids.
Once I had kids, the reality of life inspired how I worked. Having one child (during COVID), made life challenging, but still I had the bandwidth to juggle home and life and my mental health.
After having my second child, it became obvious that the coping skills I had as single person, and then as a mom to one, was no longer keeping up with the demands of life.
I came to understand just how hard it is to be the steady and emotionally regulated one for everyone else, while quietly carrying anxiety, pressure, unresolved pain, and the impossible expectation that I should be able to handle it all.
And in my work, seeing how I have had to reschedule my work because of sick days or vacation days, has given me insight into just how difficult it can be to make forward progress in a weekly format.
So I get it. I needed a solution for them as much as I needed a solution for myself.
I stumbled across intensives when I had a mom sit with me for over two hours, pouring her struggles and overwhelm into the session. We navigated the various deeper issues facing her, and she had the capacity to identify long standing patterns and choices that were not serving her.
We co-regulated, and she went deep. It became obvious that within a 50 minute session, we could not have achieved the level of healing that we got after a 2 hour session because she had the time and space to get safe, access deep pain, get grounded and identify actual coping strategies for her season of life.
I started offering these services to other moms, and saw how effective it was at helping them move out of survival mode and into a more grounded, sustainable way of living.
My overall approach is warm, trauma-informed, and deeply attuned to the realities of motherhood. But it's also no BS.
I integrate methods such as EMDR, nervous system regulation, mindfulness, and supportive lifestyle approaches to help clients make meaningful progress in a way that feels personalized and doable.
FAQ SECTION
1. How long is an intensive?
This depends on the option you ultimately choose for you, but intensives are designed to provide significantly more space than a traditional therapy session. Examples of the intensives offered include:
-
4-6 hour intensive in one day
-
A 6 hour intensive over 2 days
Specific timing and logistics will be reviewed during the consultation process.
2. How do I know whether I need Option A or Option B?
Option A is usually best for moms who want deeper continuity and regular support after the initial intensive.
Option B is ideal for moms who want a more spacious, seasonal structure with fewer appointments.
3. Is this better than weekly therapy?
Not necessarily “better” in every situation. But for many busy moms, it can be a better fit.
Intensives can create deeper momentum, and the follow-up support helps sustain the work in a way that feels more realistic for busy lives.
4. What issues do you address?
This model may be appropriate for concerns such as a life transition (birth of another child, divorce, job loss, parent loss), identity shifts (CEO to homemaker), the stress, overwhelm, anxiety and overall challenges of balancing motherhood with the rest of life.
Fit is always determined on an individual basis.
5. Is this for moms only?
My work is especially designed with mothers in mind, though fit depends on the specific nature of your needs and goals.
6. Can I start with one intensive and decide later?
Yes. For some clients, beginning with one intensive is the best way to determine what level of ongoing support makes sense next.
7. Do you offer virtual sessions?
You can customize this based on your practice:
-
In-person only
-
Virtual only
-
Or hybrid
8. What is the Investment?

Option A includes one 4-6 hour intensive session and monthly check-ins over the course of the year. Option B includes quarterly 4-6 hour intensives, offered 4X/year quarterly.
