We may be able to resolve the issue in this intensive.
We may not be able to resolve the issue in this intensive; we may find it’s a larger issue that could benefit from a few more sessions, or ongoing therapy work.

You will leave with resources, increased clarity about the issues and the direction you’d like to go in the near future.

Crisis Session
Our two hour crisis session is an emergency session created for couples who are in the mist of a crisis situation such as a revelation about infidelity, dishonesty, or for couples caught in a cycle of arguing. The crisis session is focused on de-escalating an immediate crisis and helping the couple gain insight into whether or not they would like to remain in the relationship. The next steps in salvaging or ending the relationship in a healthy manner will also be discussed.
