          Everything You Need To Begin Offering Couples Therapy Intensives

          A lot of Therapists realize that the best way to help couples make more progress in a shorter period of time is by doing intensives.

          Many Therapists I talk to want to offer intensives, but they don't know where to start. Whether it's figuring out the logistics of timing, payment, or doing the actual work in therapy, this course will enable you to get started with offering intensives in your practice.
