Not all clients are suited for intensives—this is determined based on your goals, history, and the nature of the work required. You first will have an intake session with our clinician so that we can get a clear picture of your history, issues, goals, and needs. We will need the intake and at least three sessions with your talk therapist, and an intake and one virtual session with your surrogate partner, to have enough of a foundation to determine whether you are ready to go forward with an intensive. In some cases, more work with your therapist(s) may be necessary before beginning your hands-on work.

After your initial therapy work, we will provide you our recommended treatment plan and pair you with the surrogate whom we think will be the best fit. Currently, we have two surrogate partners whose schedules allow for intensive programs. We will work with you to schedule program dates and times at one of our locations, or we will arrange for a surrogate partner to travel to you (travel and lodging fees will be added to the program cost). You will meet with your surrogate partner practitioner on a daily basis during your intensive, and your therapy sessions with our clinician will be via our secure HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform.
