Our Services For:
Family Intensive
Our signature Family Intensive program offers a tailored, collaborative approach to family therapy. It helps your family tap into its core resilience and compassion, enabling you to address deep-rooted issues and rebuild connections in a focused timeframe.
WHAT WE OFFER
Family dynamics can be complex, and sometimes traditional weekly therapy sessions may not provide the immediate, in-depth support your family needs. Our Family Intensive Program is designed to help families reconnect, heal, and rebuild stronger bonds in a focused and transformative way.
How Does It Work
Adoption Integration
How can you better understand your child? We help you navigate developmental psychology, trauma, and learning disabilities to answer your questions about your child’s strengths and challenges. This understanding empowers you as a parent, fostering healing and family well-being.
Has your family experienced a rupture in trust or connection? Whether it’s due to trauma, a major life event, or ongoing stress, we guide families toward rebuilding trust and creating a stronger emotional foundation.
Repairing Relationships
Healing from Trauma as a Family
Have shared traumatic experiences left your family feeling disconnected or stuck? Our evidence-based approaches create a safe environment to process, heal, and move forward together.
Is your child transitioning from a residential or wilderness program and in need of intensive therapeutic support? The Family Intensive program might be the right fit for you to ensure a successful transition back home.
Transition from Inpatient Residential & Wilderness Programs
Strengthening Parent-Child Bonds
Are harmful patterns from the past affecting your relationship with your child, even though you’re trying to change? Our program helps you explore and heal emotional wounds, offering guidance to foster new ways of connecting and communicating with your child.
How Does Family Intensive Program Work
Five days of the Family Intensive therapeutic work is almost equivalent to 4 months of weekly therapy sessions. Beyond the accelerated time frame, meeting for extended periods of time has the paradoxical effect of feeling less rushed, slowing collective nervous systems down, which can facilitate greater safety to explore family members’ trauma and attachment histories more deeply.
What happens during family intensive treatment?
Initially, a series of 2 or 4 (parent(s)-only) sessions with two Rennicke & Associates therapists to prepare for the Family Intensive sessions.
Treatment is a combination of parent(s)-only and dyadic parent(s)-child sessions.
Once parents feel comfortable and more confident, the Dyadic (Parent(s)-Child) Family Sessions we typically see families for 3 hour sessions/day, for 5 consecutive days, for 15 hours total of therapeutic work
