BURNOUT THERAPY INTENSIVE - LOUISIANA, FLORIDA & VIRGINIA
The Burnout Recovery Intensive, for late-identified autistic and AuDHD women
Three focused hours (or three half-days) to understand why you're this depleted, decide what to change first, and leave with a plan you can actually follow. Online across Louisiana, Florida and Virginia, or in person in Baton Rouge.
Is This You?
You've been running on empty for so long you don't remember what rested feels like.
Things that used to be manageable now take everything you've got. Phone calls, the grocery store, other people's moods. A weekend off doesn't fix it, and a vacation is just being overwhelmed in a different place.
Maybe you only recently realized you're autistic or AuDHD, and suddenly the last few decades make a lot more sense. Maybe you're still wondering.
You've been told you're "too sensitive," "too much," or "overreacting." You've probably said it to yourself.
You've tried the planners, the apps and the systems. They were built for a different brain.
This isn't you failing at life. It sounds a lot like burnout, and burnout is more than being stressed out.
Burnout usually doesn't go away on its own while the things causing it stay exactly the same. Many autistic adults say their burnout got shorter once they understood what they truly needed and made changes before they hit a crisis point.
You don't have to wait until you’re gasping for air to get relief.
What the Burnout Recovery Intensive Is
Burnout doesn't only come from your job or a loud room. It comes from years of managing other people: their moods, their expectations, sometimes their control. Masking costs energy everywhere, at work, at home and in your relationships.
The Burnout Recovery Intensive maps all of it, so you can see where your energy actually goes and start getting it back. We sort out what's burnout, what's masking, who you are underneath, and which relationships have been draining you for years.
You don't need an official diagnosis, and you don't need to call anything "abuse" to come. You just need to be tired of being this tired.
How it goes: a 75-minute intake assessment → your intensive (one 3-hour half-day, or three half-days, one week apart) → a 60-minute follow-up session.
Why an Intensive?
One goal, one focused block. Instead of spreading the work across weeks of 55-minute sessions, we spend three unhurried hours on the specific thing you came for. You start once, and we stay with it while you're still in it.
A clear beginning, middle and end. An intake assessment, your intensive, and a follow-up session to plan for ongoing recovery. You know what's coming, and when.
You leave with a plan, not a to-do list. Your plan is finished by the end of the session, in your own words, with first steps you can start that week.
You can accomplish a lot in an intensive, but you may still need ongoing support. Many women continue with 1:1 weekly or biweekly therapy to maintain progress toward their recovery goals and address deeper issues.
Two Ways to Do It
The Half-day: Burnout Map & Recovery Plan
75-min. intake assessment + 3-hour intensive + 60-min. follow-up session - $1775
The half-day is Day 1 of the package: Map. In three focused hours, we work out why you're this depleted, sort out the avoidance that protects your energy from the avoidance that comes from fear or keeping other people happy, and a strategy for asking for what you need.
You leave with your Burnout Recovery Plan and one worksheet that carries the work forward. If you decide to book the rest of the package within 30 days, your half-day becomes Day 1 and we pick up with Day 2.
The Package: Map, Rebuild, Sustain
75-min. intake assessment + Three 3-hour sessions, one week apart + 60-min. follow-up session - $4575
This is where recovery starts. Each day has one job, and your plan grows across all three.
Day 1
Map
Why you're depleted
Where your energy goes, which avoidance protects your energy and which comes from fear or keeping other people happy, and one way to ask for what you need.
Day 2
Rebuild
Needs, boundaries, relationships
What you need and the accommodations that meet it, boundaries, and how invalidation from other people, including controlling relationships, has drained you.
Day 3
Sustain
Staying out of burnout
Your own early warning signs, and a 90-day plan for bringing activities back in gradually.
What You Leave With
Your Burnout Recovery Plan. We fill it in together during the session, so it's finished when you leave. I do the typing, so you can just think out loud. Each day we work through one or two worksheets, and your answers go into the plan in your own words. You choose how anything about your relationships is worded. In the package, it grows across all three days.
It isn't all writing, either. Every day starts and ends with a few minutes of helping your nervous system settle, using whatever works for you, whether that’s movement, a breathing pattern, pressure or a stim. On Day 2 you practice your boundaries out loud, and on Day 3 you build a plan for rest and FUN.
How a Therapy Intensive Works
Free 20-minute consult. We talk about what's going on and whether the intensive is the right fit, or whether something else would serve you better.
Book your date. You complete the intake paperwork and consent forms and pay your deposit. You'll also get a Good Faith Estimate.
Your intake forms. Before we meet, you'll fill out a questionnaire and two short burnout checklists in one sitting. One looks at exhaustion, sensory sensitivity and loss of skills, compared with what’s normal for you. The other looks at how worn out you feel in daily life and at work (paid or unpaid).
Intake assessment. A 75-minute session on a separate day to go over your history, safety and goals. This is how the intensive itself goes into the real work instead of paperwork.
Your intensive. Online on a day we pick together, or in person at my Baton Rouge office on a Tuesday, booked at least four weeks ahead.
Follow-up session. A 60-minute session two to three weeks later to talk through what you've learned and identify your next steps. At 90 days, you can retake the checklists on your own if you want to see what's changed.
After that, you'll have a clear next step. That might be completing Days 2 and 3 of the package, weekly/biweekly therapy with me, the Unmasking Group, or going back to your own therapist with a summary of our work (with your consent).
Is a Burnout Recovery Therapy Intensive Right For You?
The intensive is a good fit if you:
Are a woman 21 or older living in Louisiana, Florida or Virginia
Are a late-identified autistic or AuDHD woman, whether you have a formal diagnosis or have recognized it in yourself
Are in burnout, but steady enough to work for three hours with breaks
Want clarity and a plan you can follow
Have ongoing support afterward, or are open to it
It's not the right fit right now if you:
Are in crisis or having thoughts of suicide that need a higher level of care
Are in a relationship where you're not physically safe, and safety planning needs to come first
Are hoping burnout can be fixed in one day
Are looking for an autism or ADHD evaluation. I don't diagnose autism or ADHD.
If the intensive isn't the right fit, I'll tell you at the consult and help you figure out what would better meet your needs.

About Amanda
I'm Amanda Morris, LCSW-BACS, CFSW. I've been a therapist for more than 25 years, and I'm AuDHD myself. I spent decades feeling like an alien and being told I was "too sensitive," "too blunt" or "weird."
So when you tell me you're exhausted from masking, I won't need you to explain. My work is trauma-informed, relational and neurodiversity-affirming, and I specialize in late-identified autistic and AuDHD women recovering from burnout, relational trauma and controlling relationships.
Frequently Asked Questions About Therapy Intensives
-
No. Self-identified autistic and AuDHD women are welcome. I don't diagnose autism or ADHD, and you don't need a label to do this work.
-
Yes. The intensive is a therapy service provided by a licensed clinical social worker. It's just organized differently, in longer blocks of time.
-
I can't guarantee results. What I can tell you is what you leave with: an actionable plan, written in your own words, with your priorities and first steps to recovery from burnout. If you want, you can retake the burnout checklists on your own at 90 days and see for yourself what's changed.
-
That's common for late-identified women, often because nobody, including you, knew you were autistic yet. Here's what's different here: I'm AuDHD myself, trained in neurodiversity-affirming therapy, and I've been a therapist for more than 25 years. You won't have to explain masking or translate how your brain works. The intensive is built around your energy and sensory needs, we stay focused on one goal at your pace, and you leave with your plan in writing.
-
That's planned for. There's a real break in the middle, and we set up the lighting and sound before we start, online or in person.
-
Yes. With your consent, I can send your therapist a summary afterward so the work carries into your ongoing sessions.
-
Yes. If you book the rest of the package within 30 days of your half-day, your half-day fee counts toward the package, your half-day becomes Day 1, and you don't pay the assessment call again.
-
Each intensive day is three hours, on a weekday we pick together. Saturdays may be possible with enough notice. Ask me at your consult.
-
Either one. Online intensives are by secure video, and you'll need to be in Louisiana, Florida or Virginia during your sessions, since that's where I'm licensed. In-person intensives are at my Baton Rouge office on Tuesdays, booked at least four weeks ahead. The price and what's included are the same either way.
-
No. This is private pay. I can provide a superbill on request for possible out-of-network reimbursement. That requires a mental health diagnosis, and reimbursement isn't guaranteed.
