Becoming Counseling offers two and three day intensive couples sessions at our practice. Intensive sessions let you and your partner pick a goal to focus on for your intensive time and then work with our therapists to set aside multiple days in a row to dedicate to this focused area. Pre-assessment and Post-assessment sessions are also built into the schedule so that you can make the best use of your time before, during and after your counseling sessions. If you want focused, individualized time to reconnect with your partner, we recommend you read below to see a sample three day intensive schedule.
