Months of couples therapy in 2 days.

What's an intensive?
An intensive with me is 2 days of private counseling for your relationship free from the confines of the therapy clock.
We usually work for 5-6 hours per day which provides ample opportunity for us to:
1. Complete a full relationship assessment
2. Get to the heart of your specific relational issues
3. Provide ample opportunity for repair
4. Learn new concepts to move you both toward a secure functioning and supported relationship.

Why an intensive vs. weekly sessions?
Building weekly meeting times into your schedule is difficult. Between childcare, work, and life’s responsibilities, couples can find it difficult to drop in to the emotional work relationships require in shorter weekly sessions.
Because so many relational issues grow out of emotional disconnection, intensives provide enough time to settle in, stay connected, experience the depth necessary for lasting change without the need to wrap up quickly and get back to the business of life.
From this deep place of emotional connection, I help couples not only reach their goals but ensure the progress lasts.
-
Who can benefit from an intensive?
Couples who are in distress and stuck in a negative cycle of disconnection
Couples who are highly motivated for positive lasting change but have previously been unable to get there on their own
Couples who are not experiencing progress from weekly counseling sessions
Couples who have grown distant and shut off from each other and want to reconnect.
Couples who are stuck in a defensive gridlock and want to learn how to be vulnerable with one another again.
-
Who is not a good fit for couples intensives?
One partner is committed to ending the relationship - two willing partners is necessary if you are to engage in an intensive.
If there is an ongoing pattern of intimate partner violence and/or abuse.
If there is an active addiction issue that client(s) are not willing to address.

Consult & Scheduling
All couples interested in an intensive should schedule a free 20 minute video consult with Alicia.
If we all determine an intensive is a good fit for you at this time, I will share upcoming available dates for intensives.
I currently offer intensives on Thursday/Fridays and in some cases Friday/Saturdays.
The dates you are schedule for are not locked in until you pay the deposit.
-
How much does a couples intensive cost?
The investment for a 2 day couples intensive is $2,000.
I require a $1,000 deposit to reserve your dates as I block off two full work days for intensives.
Your specific dates will be reserved when you pay the deposit.
If you cancel less than 3 weeks before the intensive, you forfeit your deposit.

Progress & Follow Ups
After the intensive, I provide you with a summary guide of what we addressed in the intensive, the skills and concepts we worked on, and guidance tailored specifically to you on how to implement your relational gains moving forward.
I offer follow up sessions as needed in person or via telehealth to support the progress you’ve made and ensure a lasting shift to secure functioning.
The culture you will interact with most in your life is the one you co-create with your primary partner.
If you’re ready to heal your relationship and co-create a culture with your partner that can handle and hold you through life, you’re in the right place.
