What is included in the fee?
A Couples Therapy Intensive experience is designed to condense 2-3 months of regular couples therapy sessions into a day or 2 days. You receive the full attention of a highly trained Certified Ackerman Relational Couples Therapist for a private experience with just the two of you.
This intensive experience is meant to bring awareness to your everyday relationship dynamics, bring about shifts in how you relate and interact with one another, increase feelings of connection and emotional safety.
Fee includes the actual time in session, preparation work by the therapist, between-session review and planning, consultation calls, and collaboration with the ongoing couples therapist.
How often do any of us really take the needed time to devote to our most important relationship? What a beautiful gift to create an intentional 1-2 day space for you and your partner to re-connect and bring about lasting change in your relationship! Don’t wait until it is too late, your relationship deserves to THRIVE.
Couple intensives are fee-for-service. While receipts can be provided upon request, it is important to understand that insurance reimbursement will not be likely as I will be considered out of network with any insurance providers.
The gift of an intensive is that you and your therapist are freed from the time constraints inherent in a regular counseling session. The exact schedule is mutually determined as you go along. If you decide together to stay in an important spot for a bit longer, you can do so. If you finish a segment early and feel complete or need a break, you can discuss together.
The length of sessions and the number of sessions will be determined by needs of the couple.
