Intensives
Sometimes one hour isn't enough.
Intensives give individuals and couples more time to focus on work that is difficult to fit into a weekly session.
You might use that time to address a persistent pattern, focus on recovery, work through a relationship concern, or prepare for therapeutic disclosure.
What is an intensive?
An intensive is an extended period of counseling or coaching built around a specific need. It may take place over several hours or multiple days, depending on your goals and the work involved.
We plan each intensive with you, including what you want to accomplish, who should be involved, and what preparation would be helpful.
Therapeutic disclosure intensives
Therapeutic disclosure is a structured process for bringing relevant information about hidden behavior or deception into the open. When appropriate, an intensive provides dedicated time for this work, with preparation and support for both partners.
The person providing the disclosure works through what needs to be shared and prepares to take responsibility clearly. The betrayed partner receives help preparing questions, identifying needs and boundaries, and planning for emotional support.
Preparation and follow-up are essential parts of the process. We'll talk with you about each stage and the support you'll need afterward.
Individual and couples intensives
Individual intensives offer time to focus on recovery, work through a painful experience, or explore a pattern that has been difficult to change. Couples may use an intensive to address a crisis, work on longstanding concerns, or rebuild connection and intimacy.
An intensive can also be useful when you need more uninterrupted time for deeper work. We'll help you decide whether that format fits your situation.
Planning your intensive
Before scheduling, we'll discuss your goals, the format, and any preparation needed. Some intensives take place over consecutive days; others use a shorter extended session.
The aim is to make progress on the work you've identified and leave with a clear plan for what comes next. Ongoing sessions or other support may still be part of that plan.
If you're interested, tell us what you'd like help with. We'll talk through whether an intensive or regular sessions would be a good fit.
