Individual Sessions

Individual sessions provide a structured therapeutic framework for helping you cultivate healthier technology habits.

Sessions address underlying psychological issues and establish a balanced, sustainable relationship with technology. Rather than requiring total abstinence, which is often impractical for daily life, treatment focuses on reducing usage hours, repairing damaged real-world relationships, and managing co-occurring mental health conditions such as anxiety or depression.

The focus is on transitioning from excessive digital use to intentional engagement.

Clinical Intensives

Hybrid Intensive Program

This specialized track provides the concentrated immersion necessary for deep internal change while ensuring those shifts are successfully integrated into your daily environment. By combining EMDR, IFS, and somatic practices, this model directly targets the neurobiological triggers and internal conflicts that sustain digital dependencies.

The Hybrid Structure

The program alternates between concentrated in-person work and virtual meetings.

In-Person Intensives: (2- to 3-hour blocks): Extended clinical sessions allow for uninterrupted EMDR and IFS parts work, focusing on desensitizing physiological urges and calming an overstimulated nervous system.

Virtual Integration Sessions: Conducted between in-person blocks, these sessions focus on the practical application of new insights within your daily environment. They provide a space to monitor triggers and adjust digital boundaries as they arise.
