No weekly therapy commitment. Just deep healing as-needed.
LGBT Affirming Therapy Intensives
Personalized therapy in Minneapolis, MN and throughout 40+ PsyPact States for bi, queer, trans, and nonbinary adults.
Is weekly therapy just not cutting it?
You might be someone who:
Has been meaning to start therapy but it feels impossible to fit another weekly commitment into your calendar.
Tried weekly therapy and felt stalled out.
Needs the extra space and unhurried time to really get into things.
Prefers to go deep in your conversations. So an extended session like an intensive just feels like a better fit for you.
Weekly, long-term therapy doesn’t work for everyone. Sometimes we need a different approach.
You’re in the right place.
LGBT Affirming Therapy Intensives can help you accomplish in one session what may take months in weekly therapy.
LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapy Intensives Can Help With:
The stress and trauma of anti-trans legislation, societal hate, and your rights being politicized.
Feeling invisible in your bi identity.
The hurt, disappointment, and anger you feel being around your conservative/MAGA family.
The burnout you feel from always being the “strong one” who no one worries about in your family, your friendships, and at work.
Hi I’m Dr. Jenna Brownfield (she/her)
I’m a queer/bi licensed psychologist in Minnesota and able to offer online therapy throughout 40+ Psypact States. I love partnering with queer and trans adults (18+) to understand and celebrate their whole selves.
It’s all too common for us as LGBTQ+ folks to doubt ourselves or face mental health struggles. I believe in a future in which every queer and trans person is cherished, protected, and thriving.
Together we can help you clearly sense that your identities and your being are valuable. That’s why I honor what LGBTQ+ people know to be true: Queer and trans folks are powerful, resilient, and joyful. You deserve a therapist who gets that.
What is an intensive?
A brief model of therapy where we use an extended session to help you get progress that may usually take several weeks to reach. It’s a more concentrated therapy session to help you feel better, faster. Here’s our process…
Intake Session
A 50-minute introductory session 1-2 weeks before your intensive. We’ll get to know each other and prepare for your intensive session.
Intensive Session
A 3-hour session using Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT). We work together to deeply focus on what you need and help you stretch yourself. All at doable pace, with me alongside you.
Integration Session
A 50-minute session, 1-2 weeks after your intensive. We’ll meet to reflect on the progress you made, and I’ll share personalized recommendations to keep your progress going.

Take the loving, affirming thoughts you easily say to friends and loved ones, and let them sink into your own heart.
Questions You May Have About LGBT Affirming Therapy Intensives
-
Intensives help you save time and money.
LGBT Affirming Therapy Intensives are a concentrated, personalized form of therapy. Instead of taking an hour off work every week for therapy, intensives are scheduled as-needed. There’s no ongoing commitment to weekly sessions. Research shows the effects of single session interventions, like intensives, are strongest for up to 12 weeks (Schleider et al 2025).
A three hour intensive package starts at $1697 vs. 12 weeks of weekly therapy at $250/session being $3000.
A 50% deposit will be collected before your first appointment. You may also be eligible for out-of-network reimbursement from your insurance.
I offer a free phone consultation to discuss if a personalized intensive is right for you.
-
Intensives are offered virtually throughout MN and 40+ PSYPACT States. In-person intensives are available at my office in Eagan, MN.
-
I totally get that. Sometimes it’s hard to know which format to choose.
Schedule a free consult call with me and we’ll figure out together what option is best.
Weekly clients are also welcome to add an intensive to their care at a discounted price.

I’m happy to work with you short-term via a LGBTQ Affirming Intensive if you have a current therapist you want to keep working with.
