Couples Intensive Process: What to Expect from First Contact to Deep Healing
Considering a couples therapy intensive can feel overwhelming, especially if you're unsure about the process. Here's a clear, step-by-step guide from your first inquiry to the deep healing experience of an intensive.
1. Initial Inquiry (First Contact)
Reach out through our website, email, or referral. We'll promptly respond with an overview of our intensive process and invite you to schedule a free, no-obligation 15-20 minute Zoom meet-and-greet.
2. Free 15-20 Minute Zoom Meet-and-Greet
Purpose: Quickly assess mutual fit and answer initial questions.
Key Topics:
Brief introduction and overview of the intensive process.
Answer your immediate questions.
Schedule a 90-minute extended consultation if interested.
3. 90-Minute Extended Consultation (Pre-Booking)
Purpose: To thoroughly assess whether an intensive fits your relationship needs.
Format: One joint session—no therapy exercises or interventions.
Outcome: If an intensive aligns with your goals, we proceed with booking. If not, we'll suggest alternative support options tailored to your needs.
4. Booking & Pre-Intensive Preparation
Upon confirming the intensive and completing payment, we'll schedule two individual attachment history sessions (one for each partner). These valuable sessions, normally billed individually, are included at no extra cost as part of your intensive package.
5. Individual Attachment History Sessions (Pre-Intensive)
Purpose: Gain critical insights into each partner's attachment history, enriching the intensive's effectiveness.
Format: Each partner attends one separate 50-60 minute virtual session.
Optional: A complimentary 30-45 minute joint follow-up call to discuss insights and clarify expectations.
6. The Intensive Begins: 2-3 Days of Deep, Transformative Work
Arrive prepared on Day 1, enabling therapy to immediately focus on meaningful interventions without spending intensive time reviewing foundational information.
Why This Process Works:
Clearly separates assessment (consultation) from therapy preparation.
Ensures full commitment and readiness from the couple.
Maximizes the effectiveness of your intensive by starting with comprehensive insights already in place.
