Intensives customized to meet your needs

Every person is unique, and every person’s counseling needs are going to be different. When we have our intake conversation, we will discuss what your goals and needs are and together we will create an intensive plan for you. We work with all adults (ages 18+). The information on this page is intended to give you an idea of what some of our offerings are and the associated costs.

Intensives have the option of adding equine interactions and adventure activities into your therapy work. Equine interactions involve incorporating horses into the experiential work of your intensive. Read more about the benefits of incorporating animals in this article. Adventure activities include hiking, kayaking, snowshoeing, etc. Any equipment needed for the adventuring is provided.

The packages listed on this page will give you a sense of the additional cost of these optional add-ons. Basic equine interactions add an additional fee (priced according to specifics of the intensive). Adventure activities add an additional $200 per day. All of the fees listed on this page assume payment in form of credit card, if paying by cash or check, deduct 3% from listed fee.

Individual intensives

Individual intensives are suited for those who are looking to do a more concentrated, deeper dive into the areas of their life where they feel stuck. Some people choose to do individual intensives to work through trauma, or to take their addiction recovery to the next level, or to address depression and anxiety because regular outpatient therapy is not bringing the desired results.

Sex & love addiction intensives

Betrayal from sex and love addiction severely harms relationships for the addict, their partner and others who are part of the family system. Sex & love addiction intensives are geared to address the issues related to sex and love addiction, such as helping the addict take their recovery to the next level, whether one is starting recovery or advancing existing recovery work, helping a partner of an addict work through betrayal trauma and all that arises from being in partnership with an addict, and helping heal relationships that has been impacted from relationship and sexual betrayal. We have found having two counselors guide the work of relationship restoration provides the best support for each party in the process and improves restoration outcomes.

Healing trauma intensives

There are many harms that can create trauma. Often when people think about trauma, they consider acute incidents such as sexual, physical, emotional assault, violent events, military combat, car crashes, etc. Those experiences can certainly lead to the brain encoding those events as traumatic. Sometimes trauma can also come from what was not provided, such as chronic emotional neglect, lack of physical and/or emotional safety, resource scarcity (poverty), etc. The healing trauma intensive creates a safe space to address the trauma one has experienced and work further towards freedom from the impact of such trauma.

Couples intensives

Couples intensives are for two people who are in a committed relationship and want to take their relationship to the next level, perhaps to work through communication problems, rebuild trust after betrayal, or address problems that have led to greater disconnection and conflict. You have the choice of working with one counselor or two. Depending on the specifics of what you are working through, we may recommend you have two counselors co-facilitating your intensive. For example, when a couple is working to rebuild trust from betrayal, it can be tremendously helpful for each member to have their own therapeutic support in the intensive. We happily support and work with couples of all sexual orientations, all are welcome!

Family intensives

These intensives are for family groups to work through problems with the help of external therapeutic supports. Family work can be between a parent and a child, two siblings, or larger family groups of parents and children. Family work involving two individuals can be with one or two counselors, family work with more than two people will be with two counselors co-facilitating the intensive. This is to ensure there is enough therapeutic support to work through the core issues that are causing the problems.

We fully believe in the experiential methods we utilize in our intensives, and we are happy to teach other qualified professionals the same methods. In our training you can expect to encounter several different types of learning experiences. These can include, but are not limited to, times of psychoeducation, where information is being presented cognitively through oral presentation and discussion. More often, we utilize experiential learning methods, where information will be relayed through the mechanisms of action and activity, and less through cognition. When we experience experientially based learning, it tends to be a richer experience than cognitive learning. However, experiential based learning requires active participation from the student, which means the learning process will require greater emotional vulnerability from the students.

We occasionally offer scheduled training groups that we advertise. We also offer customized trainings to your needs, just reach out to us and we will discuss the options.

Post-intensive aftercare

Written aftercare plan

Before the intensive ends, we will together create a custom aftercare plan for you. Everyone leaves with a plan for next steps. This plan will focus on three areas.

  • Re-entry: The immediate transition back into life.
  • Ongoing self-care: What is needed to continue the progress and growth experienced during the intensive.
  • Recommendations: specific recommendations for you.

If you have an existing counselor that you have been working with, with your permission, we can send them a treatment summary of your intensive work and your aftercare plan to help your counselor support you as you transition back into life post-intensive.

Follow-up care

Many people find it helpful to schedule some follow-up care after an intensive. This time can be helpful to provide accountability on goals, further help with utilizing tools and resources gained in the intensive, and to support you as you continue working toward your life goals.

  • Follow-up meetings can be half day or full day.
  • In-person or telehealth (depending on where you are located) options available.
  • There is a 10% discount for follow-up care meetings that are scheduled at the conclusion of your regularly scheduled intensive. Otherwise, follow-up care meetings are billed at the standard fee.
