How do you prefer to watch a show?
Are you someone who likes to watch one episode a week and let it marinate as you look forward to the next episode? Or are you someone who would rather binge a whole season in one day?
Whatever your jam, I got you. Now you can binge your therapy with intensive therapy sessions!
In addition to weekly individual therapy, I offer Therapy Intensives (or Therapy Binging if you will). I offer intensive therapy sessions in person in Huntington, New York or virtually across New York state.
Intensive therapy sessions involve blocking out a number of hours — over the course of a week or over several weeks — during which we will meet out in nature or in the office.
This format gives us the opportunity to dig deep and get to the root of what keeps you stuck in a shorter period of time. If you leave your therapy sessions wishing you had more time or if at the end of the session you’ve often thought, “bummer, we were just getting to the good stuff,” then intensive therapy sessions might be right for you.
I have often wished that I could throw my clock out the window and just keep going, giving the client as much time on that particular day as possible. Unfortunately it doesn’t work that way and not everybody needs or wants to go beyond the traditional therapy hour. But for those who might benefit from it, it is fantastic.
If you decide to give intensive therapy sessions a try, I will give you an estimated number of intensive sessions I recommend and you will be billed for that bundle of time at once. Intensive individual therapy blocks range from 3 hours to 8 hours or more and can be customized based on your particular needs. If you want to keep going after that, we keep going! There is no limit to the number of intensive therapy sessions you can purchase.
Intensive individual therapy is available in person in Huntington, New York and online across New York state.

"Alyse is kind, warm, caring, relatable, and funny. Most importantly, she is non-judgmental, trust-worthy, and makes you feel 100% comfortable. Alyse is realistic and genuine; she gives practical advice that will actually help you and make you more productive; she never just tells you what you want to hear. I love that I leave every session with an action plan, and Alyse always follows up with whatever it is we left off with during our previous meeting. Everyone needs an Alyse in their lives.”

“As a therapist myself; I have referred a number of people to Alyse Freda-Colon and I always receive such positive feedback when I do. Alyse is one of the most energetic and engaging therapists I know. She is both thoughtful and thought-provoking; helping clients to see the bigger picture. Her willingness to sometimes work outside the box and help clients explore new ways to learn about themselves and how they view their lives is both innovative and refreshing as well as very effective.

“I started seeing Alyse over 3 years ago. She is everything I wanted in a therapist: smart, warm, kind, understanding, and funny. She has helped me improve my life and taught me the skills to cope with problems big and small. I look forward to our sessions together and that good feeling I have when I’m leaving her office. I always leave feeling better and with a better perspective on how to tackle my problems. Her practical advice has helped me change how I think and feel everyday. I’m so happy she’s the person with whom I get to work on myself.”

“I have been seeing Alyse for quite some time and she has helped me navigate life problems and situations in many valuable ways. Her warm demeanor, kindness and ability to recognize when to lead and when to let me lead helped me to open-up, feeling safe and protected. I learn coping techniques and tools to help me through big issues and daily life. She makes me laugh, she allows me to go through my own process, yet at the same time she is deftly showing me how to take my own steps and feel good about my choices. She makes herself available, sometimes on very short notice, and she has been there for me during some very tough times. There are days just sitting down in her office makes me feel good. She is a great therapist and I am very grateful to have her in my life”

“I have worked with Alyse for over ten years and there is honestly no one I trust more than her. The moment you meet her you are instantly put at ease by her warm and caring personality. (She also happens to be very funny) She is kind and gentle. Alyse works with you on what YOUR Goals are. If you are ready to put hard work in, Alyse will assist you in getting your life back in control. She has seen me in my darkest hours and she has never judged me. Just the opposite, I felt validated and encouraged. She is seriously so practical! Life is really hard, everyone needs someone to talk to that can be objective. Let that someone be Alyse. You won't be disappointed.”

“She is an OUTSTANDING therapist! I would recommend her to anyone. She is passionate about her work and sincerely wants to help people! I have also seen her refer people to other therapists if she feels that it will be a better match, which shows that she is a good and moral person, in my humble opinion. In working with me, she is very practical and behavioral, which is more effective for my personality. She has literally helped me change my life! * Disclaimer: Therapists are not magicians. You need to WORK to get better. No therapist can do that for you.”
