Do you and your partner or family need help, but struggle to find the time in your busy schedules? Do you need weekend hours, but you can't find a therapist with openings on weekends? Are you having trouble getting schedules to line up? Do you just need some intense work to launch your change process? An Intensive might be right for you!
Intensives are a way to harness the momentum you get from the hard work you do in session and keep it going to multiply the effects. My Intensives are six hours of therapy in one day, with an hour for lunch and 5-10 minute breaks about every hour. They are typically on Saturdays, when I do not have regular client appointments. They can be a good fit for clients who cannot meet during the week. Because you don't have a chance to "forget" the good work you have been doing between sessions, you can make progress more quickly.
I offer Intensives in person in my office in Murphysboro, IL. What if you aren't local to Southern Illinois? Come visit us! Southern Illinois is a beautiful place to visit with many outdoor activities, the Shawnee Wine Trail, minor league baseball, Southern Illinois University, and much more. If travelling to Southern Illinois still isn't an option, I do offer Intensives virtually over Zoom. These can work well if you have a good high-speed internet connection and private space.
Whether in person or online, I do recommend that you arrange to get a good night's sleep the night before and not schedule other activities the same day. Intensives can be exhausting and emotionally draining. however, it will all be worth it when you feel that spark start to return and realize that you are on the path to connection and a peaceful relationship.
