Logistics for Brief Intensive Therapy with Rob Jackson, MS, LPC

Greater Memphis Area location - Olive Branch MS

Airport
The Memphis International Airport is located approximately twenty minutes from my office in Olive Branch, MS.

Office Location

I'm grateful to Pastor Richard Hall, and Hope Community Church for providing office space. They're located at 12050 Goodman Road, Olive Branch MS 38654.

Local Accommodations

The greater Memphis area has numerous accommodations for any budget. Recently a client couple had a great experience at Hampton Inn. You may also want to consider these additional options:

Comfort Suites

Finances

NOTE: With the decline in our national economy we're sensitive to the fact that added expense for therapy catches the average family off guard.

On occasion a family may find that their local church is willing to scholarship some or all of their expenses for our services. Naturally, we're grateful when such sponsorship is available. However, experience has shown us that third party financing typically complicates and slows down the scheduling process.

The typical fee for a couples' intensive is $3300.00 ($3450 for a family of three). The fee includes 20 hours of therapy, 52-weekly group coaching sessions via telephone, and a twelve-month subscription to our member-only www.sexualintegrity.org web site. This site features our recorded teleseminars for men, women, couples, and parents, my Iceberg Model for Christian Spiritual Formation and Recovery^TM, book reviews; and more. A fifty-percent deposit ($1650.00) reserves your preferred time. The balance is due no later than the Monday prior to your intensive. If you prepay your intensive, you will also receive two free 60-minute phone coaching sessions to be used before or after your intensive. You may also want to consider our six-month payment plan through PayPal.

Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee your preferred dates of service until we have received your financial commitment by debit or credit card over the phone. If your church is sponsoring you, and does not have a credit or debit card, please ask them to transfer the funds to your checking account. Then call us and pay directly with your debit or credit card. If necessary, we can arrange for a bank-to-bank electronic fund transfer between your church and our bank. Your sponsors may also make their purchase on your behalf online.

Client Agreement

The state of Mississippi requires professional counselors to provide a clear statement about credentialing, confidentiality limits, and expertise. This form has important information that you must include in your decision, so please download and read now.

IMPORTANT NOTE TO PARENTS: If you're seeking help for your adolescent, experience has taught me that when an adolescent is in crisis, the marriage of his or her parents is typically in trouble also. Many of my client families are scheduling 30-hour intensives so that I have adequate time to serve both the adolescent and his or her parents. Obviously the adolescent marinades in whatever his parents' marriage provides, so strengthening the marriage is foundational to serving the adolescent. If you also have a difficult marriage, let's customize this service opportunity to meet your needs of your family system. [learn more here about our child/adolescent track]

What to Expect About the Intensive

Before. Each couple's needs and experiences are different, but it’s not uncommon for one or both individuals to experience an increase in anxiety as the intensive approaches. Occasionally, marital conflicts may increase as well. Should stress increase, please contact me so that I can help process your concerns by telephone.

During. Providing an emotionally and physically safe experience for you is my privilege and responsibility. I will offer you my respect and compassion. Most couples report an increase in mutual respect as well as empathy. While the intensive can be tiring, you can expect remarkable increases in insight and application.

You can plan on four hours of therapy daily during your intensive, followed by one to two hours of therapeutic assignments including reading, journaling, and processing. The majority of the time will be spent with the two of you together, but there will be time for individual counseling as needed or desired.

After. Like Christian sanctification, recovery is truly "one day at a time." However, you can expect to know how to implement a radically different approach to life and intimacy. If follow-up with me is needed or desired, we can script an aftercare plan for you that includes telephone counseling and teleconference calls.

What to Bring with You

I encourage you to dress comfortably for your intensive. In the sessions, you may want to take notes, so a couple of notebooks and pens will be helpful. Some clients have brought their tape recorders in order to capture the content of the sessions. You’re also welcome to bring your Bible of course.

Please contact me if I can be of further assistance!
