The following information is true for both locations.
Finances
The typical fee for a couples' intensive is $3300.00. The breakdown includes 20 hours of therapy at $150.00 per hour and two Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventories (MMPI) at $150 each. A deposit of $1000.00 by personal check reserves your preferred time. The balance is payable by debit/credit card on the last day of the intensive. Of if you prefer, you may prepay your intensive, and receive up to two personality appraisals at no cost (a savings of $150.00 each). In either case, you may call in your payment (888-891-4673) by debit or credit card over the phone.
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 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.
Client Agreement
The states of Colorado and Mississippi requires therapists to provide a clear statement of our credentialing, confidentiality limits, and expertise. When you post your your deposit or prepay your intensive, we will email you a copy of our therapist/client agreement and an intake form. When you have had time to review it, please sign and date it. This agreement should be returned with your deposit.
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 psychological testing, 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!
