Face-to-face sessions in Lakeland, Florida

Marriage Intensive

Concentrated therapy that accelerates the healing process

One-Day or Two-Day Intensives

One-Day Intensive

Best suited for couples who cannot make weekly sessions fit in their busy schedules. The title says it all, it will be “intense.” We will meet for 5 hours which allows for the possibility of quicker progress than the traditional weekly sessions. Although an intensive is an amazing jump start on therapy, it is not a one-time-fix for all your problems. Couples coming for a one-day intensive will need to continue work with an EFT therapist in their area or return for follow-up therapy with me.

Two-Day Intensive

Best viewed as a personalized marriage retreat where you get away from home to concentrate on your relationship. You are encouraged, even if local, to stay in a hotel where the evening allows you “couple time” to relax and have fun with your spouse. Homework will be given to guide discussion. The two-day format is designed to be more intense than the one-day. Work we do can be equivalent to a few months of therapy. Most couples will need to have some form of follow-up therapy.

Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind.

“Pooh!” he whispered.

“Yes, Piglet”

“Nothing,” said Piglet, taking Pooh’s paw.

“I just wanted to be sure of you.”

Why do an intensive

We all need to be seen and feel accepted by someone. From that felt sense of being known we now have the courage to go and face life. My goal is to provide that safe place to explore so you can rediscover your safe haven.

Making that first contact with a counselor can be difficult and overwhelming.
