RATES & FAQ

What is the cost for an intensive?


We have two types of intensives:

Full Intensive - Our full 15 hour program is $4400– which includes 15 hours, done 3-4 hours at at a time, working privately with David who will custom tailor your intensive using the latest relationship skills and tools. The 15 hours includes a full relationship assessment process, practical strategies for communication and conflict resolution, tools to heal from past and present hurts, and ways to move forward in a positive and productive way.

Mini Intensive – Make it or Break it - This 8 hour program is done in two – 4 hour sessions with the goal of helping a couple find clarity and make a decision about their future together. At the end of the 8 hours they have the option to complete the full program by simply paying the difference. The cost for this 8 hour program is: $2295.

How do I know if this is a good investment?

Traditional, weekly couples therapy will cost around $150-$250 a session, and can take upwards of 6 months to a year to complete. This can total around $4,800-$9,600 over the course of the year.

Comparatively, our intensive at $4400 is actually be more affordable, and you can get immediate results as opposed to lingering in pain for a year.

Another way to look at it, how much is your relationship worth to you? How much is the pain of what you’re going through right now costing you? Compare the investment for an intensive to the $15,000-$20,000 average cost of divorce in the US. And that doesn’t begin to factor in the other emotional pain of a deteriorating relationship.

Is there any financing or payment plan available for this service?

We know that an intensive can be costly. We also know that breaking and divorce can be costly as well and how valuable an intensive can be for you, your partner and when applicable, for any children involved.

We offer Paypal financing as an easy way to get a line of credit to pay for this intensive.

Why an intensive?

Intensives are for couples, families or business partners who have hit a major roadblock or fork in the road and need help facilitating change now. Perhaps the couple is on the brink of divorce, the family has run into a crisis or the business partners are ready to split – all of these would be apropos for an intensive.
‍
Some people simply have very busy schedules and don’t have the time to carve out weekly couples work, so an intensive is built for them to develop a highly specific program to help them focus on the work they need to do and then be able to move on with their ‘regularly scheduled program.’

Where are you located? Can we do this online? Do people travel for this?

The vast majority of clients participate in this program virtually from all around the world. The intensive is just as effective as being done in person, without the inconvenience of having to trouble or finding parking.

For in person intensives, we are located in the Chesterfield area in the Greater St. Louis, MO area. Many participants opt to travel in for this program and our team can help line up accommodations.

Who typically comes to an intensive?

Most typically we will see clients who:

  • Just discovered an affair or another type of betrayal
  • Are seriously contemplating divorce
  • Are not sure if they want to stay married
  • Feel very stuck in their relationship
  • Need help navigating the interpersonal dynamics of their family situation
  • Work together and feel like something is breaking or already broken with their business partner or work colleagues

Traditional Therapy VS. An Intensive?

Traditional therapy can be tremendously impactful and life changing. But, countless intensive clients, have expressed that oftentimes they’ve needed things to move faster and they need to delve deeper than once a week therapy can offer. To use a quote from a recent participant: We would go into a session and just as we were delving into an important issue, the time would be up! It was very frustrating!

An intensive allows you to sit with a qualified, licensed marriage and family therapist, trained to cut to the heart of the core issues that are affecting the relationship and work through things in an effective manner. Sitting with an expert for four hours, can help couples, families and business partners really facilitate impacting change.

What happens after an intensive is over?

This will highly depend. If clients have gotten everything they’ve needed from the intensive, the therapist will wish them well and they will be happily on their way. In the occurrence that the couple/family/partners need more work after the conclusion of the intensive the therapist will work to figure out the best next steps for the clients. This could mean further follow up sessions with the intensives therapist or this could mean that therapist will refer them to another therapist, if/when appropriate.

Our goal is to help the clients transition successfully to whatever the next phase of their relationship is. We are very invested in your success and will work with you to figure out how we can best support the next steps.

If you’re ready to heal your relationship, then we’re ready to help.
