Concierge Therapy at The Modern Insight

Concierge psychotherapy is not about speed.

It is about access and depth.

It is a model built for people who want time to think and space to heal. For work that unfolds slowly enough to be honest.

At The Modern Insight, concierge psychotherapy is structured around continuity rather than volume. Each month holds either four fifty-minute sessions or two ninety-minute sessions, depending on what the work asks for. Between sessions are a small number of brief check-ins. Not to manage crises or accelerate outcomes, but to stay oriented. To remain in contact with the work as it settles.

Responses arrive the same day. Sessions are typically available within the week. Intakes are completed online, quietly, to confirm fit and clinical appropriateness before beginning.

Clients may meet virtually, in their home, or in their private office within Greenwood Village, Denver, or Colorado Springs. The form adapts to the person, not the other way around.

This structure allows therapy to move at a sustainable pace.

It leaves room for reflection.

It keeps enough continuity for something real to shift.

Why It Exists

This practice exists as a response.

Much of modern mental health care has been shaped by scale. Large teletherapy platforms and insurance-based group practices are organized around volume, utilization targets, and administrative compliance. Session length is standardized. Frequency is limited. Treatment is often required to be named and defined early, even when the work itself is still taking shape. Clinical attention is pulled toward justification instead of the person.

Over time, this structure changes the texture of care.

The rhythm of psychotherapy becomes compressed. What is gained in access is often traded for constraint.

Concierge psychotherapy steps outside that model.

Here, the frame remains flexible. Time is allowed to unfold. Treatment follows the person, not the policy.

Concierge psychotherapy restores privacy and containment. It values presence over productivity. It creates space for reflection that cannot happen under pressure to optimize, compress, or justify the work to systems outside the room.

Ethics and Privacy

Ethics live in the details of how care is held.

At The Modern Insight, psychotherapy sessions take place on a HIPAA-secure platform. Communication stays contained. There is no texting, no unseen third parties shaping what happens here. The work is held privately, deliberately, and without audience.

This boundary exists because the landscape has changed. In recent years, large teletherapy platforms have disclosed or monetized sensitive mental health data at scale. Regulatory action and investigative reporting have made visible what was once opaque: care routed through systems built for speed often carries costs that are paid quietly, later, by the people who trusted them.

The Modern Insight was designed outside that logic.

Confidentiality here is a condition of the work. Privacy creates the stillness required for reflection. Without it, psychotherapy becomes another transaction, another stream, another place where attention fractures.

The Experience

From the first contact, communication stays direct and consistent. There are no intermediaries. No queues. No performance. The tone is professional and quiet so attention remains where it belongs: on the work itself. Concierge psychotherapy at The Modern Insight offers a stable frame for people who want to engage deeply, without the noise of systems that forgot what care feels like.

La Calma: Practicing Slowness in a Culture That Values Speed

The Italians have a way of looking at the world through how slowly and skillfully one can move through it.

American culture values moving fast, from the way we drive, to the way we consume, the way we live our day to day existence. Practicing la calma means learning to live unhurriedly in a culture that values speed. (I did not say efficiency; the Germans are unmatched there). We constantly feel this sense of urgency to do more, to be more. It is a revolutionary act to choose la calma amidst the rush of American life.

Slow mornings, la passeggiata (walking without destination), an abundance of time to get errands done, moving slowly and mindfully through your life. The Italians recognize that life is to be enjoyed. Americans see life as something to accomplish. Americans are some of the most hardworking (and friendliest!) people. Our culture has been shaped in such a way that requires and encourages speed.

Choosing then to carry the awareness of la calma in our daily lives, practicing la calma, forces us also to face the loneliness of choosing slowness in a culture that values speed.

Structuring your day in what feels doable and possible, not punishing yourself for not accomplishing all the tasks. To enjoy an espresso, to breathe the air around you, is possible by simply coming back to this moment, right now. You do not need to wait for a special moment or a PDF worksheet to refer back to in your moment of anxiety. You can choose to cheer up on the spot by simply welcoming yourself home in the present moment, to your breath in the here and now.

The constant pull of work, parenting, health concerns, family dynamics, and relationships is always tugging at your time. How many come to the end of life believing they had more time, or expressing regrets about who they did not become? Choosing la calma asks us to break through the illusion that time, your time, is infinite.

Habitual patterns, ways of doing and ways of being, can keep you prisoner to a life you chose, a life you did not choose, or even a life that was chosen for you. And yet, because you are alive, everything is possible. You are only ever one decision away from a completely different way of being.
