The Fit
Couples considering marathon therapy should be invested in doing some challenging work! Interventions will be tailored to the couple’s needs, and often include communication skill work, building friendship and intimacy, working through conflict and gridlock, and creating a balance between self-belonging and connection.
The Investment
Marathon Therapy is priced at the rate of $250 per 60 minute increment. Each day of Marathon therapy typically consists of 6 hours of therapy.
A deposit of 50% is required at the point of reservation in order to confirm and secure your booking for the agreed upon dates. The remaining payment is due at the start of your first session and is non-refundable.
Cancellations can be made up to 30 days prior to your scheduled appointment. Deposits are non-refundable within 30 days. Re-scheduled sessions will be subject to a full charge if not received at least 30 days in advance.
The Disclaimer
Marathon therapy may be unsuitable:
– If there is active alcohol and/or drug addiction on the part of either or both partners, from either partner’s perspective
– If there is serious violence in your relationship, threats by one or both partners that serious violence might occur, or fear of such serious violence on the part of one or both partners
-If either partner currently has an untreated major mental illness (schizophrenia, recurrent psychotic depression, or bipolar/manic-depressive illness.) Note: This does not include past, successfully treated psychotic episodes (e.g. post-partum depression with psychosis)
– If there is an undisclosed, current affair that you are not willing to disclose (such secrets predict marital therapy failure)
-If there is an ongoing affair and the partner having the affair is not willing to end it
-If either partner is currently experiencing suicidal or homicidal thoughts, or has a history of serious harm inflicted on him/herself or another person
