You just closed Series B, but walking into those Sand Hill Road meetings, you're convinced every VC can see right through you. Your GitHub commits prove you can build, your metrics show you can scale, but you’re certain someone is about to ask the question that reveals you have no idea what you’re doing.

Outcome: Authentic executive presence that matches your actual achievements.

The Decision Mastery Intensive

Your biggest competitor just raised $50M. Amazon entered your market. You need to pivot or double down, but you've been cycling through the same Slack threads at 2 AM for weeks. The board meeting is Monday, your runway is shrinking, and you're paralyzed between two paths that could make or break everything you've built.

Outcome: Clear, confident decision-making under extreme pressure.

The Business Partnership Betrayal Intensive

Your co-founder took half the engineering team to start a competitor using your roadmap. Now every standup feels hollow, every investor intro carries suspicion, and you’re building walls where you need to be building partnerships. The Seattle tech scene is small, and trust feels too risky.

Outcome: Renewed capacity for strategic collaboration without the baggage.

The Workplace Harassment Recovery Intensive

You dread the open office. You avoid the all-hands you used to own. Your Slack status stays permanently yellow. You're still performing confidence in meetings where you once commanded the room naturally.

Outcome: Full recovery of who you were before this happened. You retain the wisdom and boundaries from the experience, but lose the triggers that have been controlling your daily interactions.

Your Intensive: A Discreet, Clinical Process

We begin with a detailed application instead of a consultation to ensure the highest level of discretion and efficiency.

Confidential Application: Complete my private, HIPAA-compliant screening form at a time that is convenient for you.
Personalized Review: I personally review every application. If an ART intensive is the right clinical fit, you will receive a direct email from me within 24 hours with available dates and a link to self-schedule and pay your $2,500 deposit, which will then be applied to the full cost of the intensive.
Your Intensive Day: You will spend a full day in a private setting of your choice undergoing the ART protocol to achieve rapid resolution.
Integration & Follow-up: I will personally follow up with you at 30, 90, and 180 days to ensure proper integration.

Virtual & Weekend Availability for Clients Across Washington STate

Sessions are available virtually for Washington residents. I provide flexible scheduling depending on your needs.

Sprint-aligned timing: Book between sprint cycles when you can focus without deployment pressures
Investor-friendly windows: Schedule after closing rounds when the pressure temporarily lifts
Weekends available: focused weekend work that doesn’t disrupt your quarterly planning
100% virtual delivery: Join me from your Bellevue home office, your Seattle condo, or wherever you work best. No travel time, waiting rooms, or logistics; just focused transformation.

The intensive format means you’re not committing to weekly appointments for months. Instead, you're investing one day in fundamentally changing the root of the problem that has been holding you back.

An Approach Grounded in Research

As a licensed therapist specializing in executive populations, I'm bound by ethical guidelines that prevent sharing client testimonials. What I can share:

Research-validated protocol: ART shows 70-80% symptom resolution in published studies (most evidence-based psychotherapies show response rates in the 50-70% range), as well as a 94% completion rate (most therapies are around 60-65%).
Time-efficient design: Created specifically for rapid, lasting change
Validated Method: ART is an evidence-based intervention derived from established eye-movement therapies, shown to rapidly reduce symptoms of trauma, anxiety, and depression. ART is routinely used by US Special Forces, the US Department of Veterans Affairs, and professional athletes.
Specialized Expertise: My practice is solely focused on the psychological pressures faced by business leaders, ensuring a deep understanding of your context.
HIPAA-Compliant and 100% Confidential: Your privacy is paramount. From the first point of contact, your information is protected by strict clinician-patient confidentiality.

Frequently Asked questions

I created Executive Intensives for the C-suite, key executives, directors, managers, startup founders, entrepreneurs, and other business leaders who are ready to resolve the way their past experiences are impacting their present-day leadership.
My clients are natural problem-solvers and have already tried to solve their problem in multiple ways (coaching, mentorship, hypnosis, talk therapy, etc.). While valuable, these methods aren’t designed to get to the neurological root of the issue — that’s where I come in with ART.
ART works best for people who are genuinely ready to resolve their issue. If there are secondary benefits to keeping the problem (like avoiding certain responsibilities or getting extra attention/care), or if someone isn’t fully committed to change, ART may not be effective.
ART is most successful when clients are motivated and ready to put the problem behind them.
Great question! You don't need to be a strong visualizer for ART to work. The three things needed for a successful session are: the ability to move your eyes comfortably left and right, the ability to hold a thought or image (even a vague one), and motivation to resolve the issue.
Many clients worry about this, but you can “think your way through” the problematic scene or thought rather than needing vivid mental pictures. ART works with whatever way your mind naturally processes information.
I’m so glad you’re interested in working together!
I don't offer consultation calls due to my scheduling demands.
Instead, I've included comprehensive information about working with me on my website so that you can get all your questions answered immediately.
I trust that you’re a person who can self-select in or out of a service independently. However, I recognize that there will always be unique circumstances. If you have a question that isn't answered on the Therapy Service pages, please feel free to reach out via the Contact Form below.
No, I live in Mexico, and therefore ALL of my work is 100% online. I use HIPAA-compliant video software to meet with clients, so we’ll be able to see each other during the session.
I reserve Fridays and Saturdays for ART intensives to provide my clients with my undivided focus.
Intensive sessions outside of these days can be arranged with approximately two weeks' notice to ensure I can provide you with the same level of dedicated attention. Please contact me to discuss your scheduling needs.
All one-day intensives are a flat-fee of $5,000.
You are, of course, welcome to schedule more than one. However, for one “problem,” a one-day intensive is typically sufficient.
When you schedule a session, I require half of the intensive rate to hold your spot ($2,500).
This intensive requires the same level of commitment you would bring to any critical business initiative. The deposit secures your exclusive time slot and is non-refundable.
The remaining $2,500 is due within 24 hours prior to your intensive. Because your credit card number is stored securely in your medical chart when you book your intensive, it will be auto-charged the remainder due.
If I am unable to charge your card the remainder of the cost for any reason, your intensive will be automatically cancelled and your deposit will be forfeited.
Please complete this confidential screening form located HERE. This is to ensure ART is a good fit for your circumstances.
If ART is a good fit for your needs, I will be in touch within 48 business hours with options to schedule your intensive.
Once we determine that ART is a good fit for your needs, I will send you over your new client forms and a payment link to pay your deposit. (These come from my electronic record system, not my email.)
You’ll be responsible for reviewing and digitally signing them at least 72 hours in advance of your scheduled appointment to avoid an auto-cancellation.
If you don’t receive these forms, please be sure to check your spam folder. If you still don’t see them, please email me at allyson@executiveintensives.com.
No, I am not in network with any insurance company.
Yes, but please be aware of two things:
1. Out-of-network insurance reimbursement varies significantly by plan
2. Intensive sessions by nature do not fit standard insurance session length expectations (which are 53 minutes)
You are responsible for paying at the time of service, and my record system will email you a Superbill (this is by request only).
Absolutely!
If you need a letter of necessity, I am happy to provide one after our intensive session.
If you are in the United States, you MUST be physically present in either Massachusetts, Washington, Oregon, or Florida at the time of our intensive. (Some clients decide to travel from out-of-state to one of these states for the intensive weekend.)
If you live outside of the United States, it’s likely that I can work with you, but it depends on the regulations of your country. Please contact me and we can discuss your situation.
