Your home base for the full Intensive. Access each week’s pre-recorded teaching, curated clinical resources, Zoom links, session replays, and supporting tools in one organized place, so you always know what to watch, review, and bring into the live work.
An extra $970 value. Ongoing support after the Intensive ends. You’ll get access to Rachel’s broader membership community for Psych NPs, including weekly live calls, case consults, mini-courses, clinical and career toolkits, guest Q&As, and a connected directory of peers who understand this work from the inside. Only 10 spots. Gone when early bird fills.
Each week gives you time to absorb the clinical concepts first, then come live to see Rachel’s approach in action and practice applying it without performance pressure.
One week before
Clinical reasoning videos, diagnostic differential walkthroughs, and curated resources arrive ahead of each live session, so you can review the concepts at your own pace before we apply them together.
Fridays, 1:00–2:30 CST
Rachel breaks down her clinical approach step-by-step, walks through real case examples, and shows you how the decision-making works in actual practice. The teaching portion is recorded, so you can revisit it later.
Private partner practice
During the live session, you’ll move into breakout partner practice with another psych NP who gets it. The practice portion stays private, giving you space to work through the material without pressure or performance anxiety.
Think of it as a weekly rhythm: learn it ahead of time, watch it applied live, then practice it safely.

Practical, clarifying, and immediately useful. A few notes from clinicians who came in wanting to feel steadier with pediatric patients.
The ADHD section alone changed how I approach these visits. I used the language and framework in clinic the very next week.
Psych NP StudentI came in second-guessing myself constantly with pediatric cases. I left with frameworks, scripts, and so much more clarity about what to do next.
