Intensive Counseling (IC) is confidential, personalized and concentrated therapy. It is effective for individuals or for couples. It is one-on-one therapy in a private office setting, just you, or for you and your partner, along with your therapist. Intensives are designed to help individuals or couples receive concentrated treatment to gain resources and skills, heal, get a clearer direction, and/or make decisions right now!

Sometimes traditional weekly or bi-weekly hour-long sessions are simply not the right format or intensity. Intensive Counseling equals 2-6 months of traditional weekly therapy, depending upon the intensity and frequency.

Intensive Counseling is not covered by insurance plans; therefore the cost for IC would be an

out-of-pocket rate of $170.00/hour. Payment is due at the time of the session.

Clients seek intensive counseling for a variety of reasons. Many couples are experiencing significant distress or crisis in their marriage or relationship. Relationship crises are like serious medical injuries that require immediate and intensive intervention. Some couples are separated or have already started the divorce process.
