Intensives are for couples, families or business partners who have hit a major roadblock or fork in the road and need help facilitating change now. Perhaps the couple is on the brink of divorce, the family has run into a crisis or the business partners are ready to split - all of these would be apropos for an intensive. Some people simply have very busy schedules and don't have the time to carve out weekly couples work, so an intensive is built for them to develop a highly specific program to help them focus on the work they need to do and then be able to move on with their 'regularly scheduled program.'

Most typically we will see clients who: • Just discovered an affair or another type of betrayal • Are seriously contemplating divorce • Are not sure if they want to stay married • Feel very stuck in their relationship • Need help navigating the interpersonal dynamics of their family situation

If this program seems right, but you're still not sure, please schedule a free consultation to ask the questions you're concerned about.

We know that an intensive can be costly. We also know that breaking and divorce can be costly as well and how valuable an intensive can be for you, your partner and when applicable, for any children involved. We offer Paypal financing as an easy way to get a line of credit to pay for this intensive.

All intensives are in-person and take place in Columbus, Ohio and surrounding areas. Many participants opt to travel in for this program and our team can help line up accommodations.

Traditional therapy can be tremendously impactful and life changing. But, countless intensive clients, have expressed that oftentimes they've needed things to move faster and they need to delve deeper than once a week therapy can offer. To use a quote from a recent participant: We would go into a session and just as we were delving into an important issue, the time would be up! It was very frustrating! An intensive allows you to sit with a qualified, licensed marriage and family therapist, trained to cut to the heart of the core issues that are affecting the relationship and work through things in an effective manner. Sitting with an expert for four hours, can help couples, families and business partners really facilitate impacting change.

This will highly depend. If clients have gotten everything they've needed from the intensive, the therapist will wish them well and they will be happily on their way. In the occurrence that the couple/family/partners need more work after the conclusion of the intensive the therapist will work to figure out the best next steps for the clients. This could mean further follow up sessions with the intensives therapist or this could mean that therapist will refer them to another therapist, if/when appropriate. Our goal is to help the clients transition successfully to whatever the next phase of their relationship is. We are very invested in your success and will work with you to figure out how we can best support the next steps.
