Couples Intensives

For a couple in your care

Every therapist has a couple like this. They are committed, they show up, and the same pattern keeps running. Fifty minutes ends just as you reach the part that matters, and the week in between undoes some of it.

An intensive gives that couple three uninterrupted hours on the one pattern. It adds to your work. It does not replace it.

  • A couple who has reached a plateau in weekly work
  • A couple caught in one recurring fight
  • A couple facing a decision with a deadline
  • An individual client of yours whose relationship is what keeps them stuck. You see one partner; I see the couple for a half-day.

How it works

Your couple stays your couple

1 · We speak. With the couple's written consent, you and I talk for 15 minutes. I'll ask one thing above all: what is the one pattern you'd most want us to work on?

2 · The half-day. I speak with each partner privately first. Then three hours together, in my Encino or Studio City office, or in the couple's home through my concierge practice. Ask about online options.

3 · They return to you. With their consent, you and I speak again afterwards.

Questions therapists ask

Will you take over my couple?

No. An intensive is one focused block. Your couple stays your couple.

I see only one of them. Can I still refer?

Yes. You keep your individual client; their partner joins them for the half-day.

Who should I not send?

A couple where there is violence or fear, or where one partner is in crisis.

What does it cost?

Fees are shared when we speak. Intensives are private pay.

How to refer

Please do not send client names or details through this website or by email. Call me at (818) 652-3495, or have the couple book their own complimentary 15-minute call. We exchange information only after they have signed a release.

Business Coaching

For therapists building a private-pay practice

I built my practice in Encino and Studio City on private pay, and added concierge sessions, couples intensives and executive advisory along the way. If you're building yours, I'll help with the business side.

  • Going private pay, or moving off insurance panels
  • Setting your fees, and raising them with current clients
  • A niche that brings full-fee clients
  • Getting found on Google: your website and Google listing
  • Offers beyond the 50-minute session: intensives, concierge, single sessions
  • Practicing in more than one state (I'm licensed in California, Nevada and Oregon)

How it works

One session, or monthly

A 60-minute session, online or in my Encino or Studio City office.

Book once for a specific question, or meet monthly while you build.

Fees are shared when we speak.

This is business coaching. It is not therapy, clinical supervision or case consultation.
