Counseling Intensives

A Counseling Intensive is for an individual or couple who wants to make significant progress in a short amount of time. Our five day intensive can accomplish more than several months of weekly meetings. This model is effective because you will be spending one hour per day in a group class setting gaining practical tools and immediately applying them in your private daily two hour counseling sessions. Customized homework will be assigned daily based on your goals. Another aspect of our model that makes it effective is being away from home and your typical surroundings. This allows you to be free of distractions and able to focus on your goals.
