Intensive Couples Therapy

Intensive sessions are characterized by multiple hours of therapy within a short period. There are various reasons you might opt for this approach. Some individuals experience such intense emotional distress that a standard therapy schedule (one hour per week) is insufficient. For others, challenges like geography, childcare, or other commitments make weekly therapy sessions impractical. Additionally, some people are overwhelmed by their pain and feel they can no longer endure it. I am proud to offer intensive sessions to address these needs and reduce the barriers to effective therapy.

Here's how it works...

I recommend starting with a free consultation call to discuss your needs and explore how I can best support you. During our session, we’ll schedule a time that works for you, typically around 6.5 hours, including a 1.5-hour lunch break. This session will combine traditional therapeutic techniques at a different pace. We’ll alternate between talk therapy and, if you choose, incorporating horses into the session. This unique approach blends the depth of psychotherapy with the healing power of nature and these majestic animals, all within a shorter timeframe.

​

The total cost for the 6.5-hour session is $900 (this is the total fee, not per person). While lunch isn’t provided, coffee, tea, and water will be available throughout the day.

​

What it might look like:

 

We can schedule a full day or weekend (Saturday/Sunday from 10:00 AM – 12:30 PM, and 2:00 PM – 4:30 PM). If geography isn’t a concern, we may also be able to book another day in a couple of weeks.

 

We’ll start in the office, focusing on your relationship dynamics, and when it feels right, we’ll integrate the horses for experiential learning. We’ll alternate between the office and the arena, giving you the chance to practice new ways of relating.

 

We’ll take a 1.5-hour lunch break (to allow for travel time to local restaurants and time to reflect on the morning’s conversations). Please dress for the weather.

 

If this approach sounds right for you, please reach out—I’d be happy to discuss the possibilities and help you get started.
