What’s “Intensive Therapy”?

And, why an intensive vs. weekly, bi-weekly or monthly traditional couples/sex therapy?

Intensive Therapy are long form sessions, usually 3-4 hours in length, in which you can dive deeply into a complex issue. These sessions are absolutely ideal for people who like more time for their systems to unwind, want to work on a specific issue with more depth or are looking for deep exploration.

These sessions are not meant to be ongoing therapy, they are merely a different way of diving into integration.

If you are looking for a therapist who can see you on an ongoing weekly basis or if you are in crisis, an Intensive might NOT be the best fit for you.

If you have identified a specific difficulty, if you enjoy self-exploration, if you travel frequently or are looking to explore how therapy might benefit you, then this may be something you want to explore.

Intensive therapy is proven to be more effective than traditional weekly couples therapy.
In fact, it’s been shown to cut your time in therapy in half.

In one intensive couples therapy session, you’ll gain the insight and tools it would otherwise take months of counseling to achieve. 

An intensive is fast-paced, gentle but direct couples & sex therapy that quickly helps you get to the bottom of your issues.

Using research-based couples therapy techniques, tools and exercises, we will work together on goal setting, presenting issues, couple’s dynamics, attachment styles, attachment wounding/repair, communication, co-regulation, relaxation, homework and more.

INTENSIVES ARE NOT A GOOT FIT FOR THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA:

Intensives are NOT a good fit for clients who are in active addiction, dealing with untreated mental illness, domestic violence situations, massive infidelity that has just been discovered, couples who are hypervigilant and super reactive, high on neurodivergent spectrum, are hostile and are not motivated.
