Why attend an intensive?

Traditional counseling is typically 50-60 minutes once per week or bi-monthly.  While this model is widely used, it may not be the best fit for your personal situation. Intensives as designed to offer precise interventions in one to three day sessions reserved just for you.  Many clients who utilize intensives are seeking specific solutions for issues such as relationship challenges, identity or role crises, or are dealing with loss or significant anxiety for example.  This service is also convenient for clients who live in Alabama but are not local to our office. Some people find it easier to dedicate one to three days at a time to therapy.  The result can be the equivalent of several weeks or months of traditional counseling.  This is a private pay service that is not typically reimbursed by insurance.

Here at Resilient Life Counseling, we utilize interactive and creative approaches when doing intensives.  Intensives for individuals begin at 3 hours and are $450.  One day intensives are for individuals only and are $1,200.  Two day and three day intensives are available for both couples and individuals.   A deposit is required. Please inquire for additional details. 

Intensives are for maintenance and prevention as well as crisis resolution.  Since they are customized to your needs,  you are able to be intentional about what you need. However, an intensive may not be appropriate for you if you are in active chemical addiction, experiencing active psychosis or are in need of mental health stabilization, are experiencing domestic violence, or are involved in an active affair. If an intensive sounds right for your, contact us for a consultation or to schedule an appointment.
