Intensives are time-bound, highly concentrated emotional commitments that are often centered on specific treatment goals with a clear, intentional focus. They begin with an assessment for the individual/couple’s suitability for an intensive, and require participants to have established outside support (e.g., an individual or couples therapist) by the time of engagement. This type of in-depth work is especially appropriate for working through blocks, becoming “unstuck,” or accelerated support when in crisis. The unique benefits of this powerful experience lead to an outcome where either the focus is resolved or the client is transitioned to their next stage of work.
