Intensive Therapy Referral Program
In Surrogate Partner Therapy, a therapist, a surrogate partner, and a client work join together, as a three-person therapeutic team, to understand and resolve the clients' long-standing difficulties with physical and emotional intimacy.  When a surrogate and therapist are both available in or near the client's community, the client is able to participate in local therapy -- typically meeting with the therapist and the surrogate partner each once a week. When local therapy is not an option, clients may still be able to participate in surrogate partner therapy by working intensively with a  therapist and surrogate. 

Intensive surrogate partner therapy is a condensed program of Surrogate Partner Therapy. During a typical Intensive, the therapist, the surrogate partner, and the client meet every day.  Therapist & client sessions are interwoven with surrogate & client sessions in order to optimize rapid growth and change for the client.  During a typical Intensive, the client meets with the surrogate partner for 2-3 hours each day, and meets with the therapist for an hour each day. Care is taken to assure that the client is ready for each new step as the client and surrogate build their relationship and gradually progress through a series of therapeutic exercise and experiences. The process develops clients' ability to relax, know his/her own feeling, talk with a partner, pay attention to pleasurable sensations, appreciate his/her body and sexuality.

Intensive surrogate partner therapy is for adults who
a) are ready to work on their difficulties with interpersonal and sexual intimacy,
b) do not have a partner with whom they can address these issues in therapy, and
c) do not have access to surrogate partner therapy in their own locale.

Two weeks is considered the optimum length for intensive therapy, as it is the most likely to be successful. If time limitations or financial considerations prohibit participation in the recommended two-week program, a shortened program may be acceptable for some clients. Participants in one-week intensives sometimes find a second one-week intensive is necessary to meet their goals.  Modified intensives are also sometimes available for clients with circumstances that are better suited to unique timetables. 

Intensives are scheduled by individual advance arrangement only.  These arrangements generally take a minimum of two weeks. California Intensives are the most common and easiest to arrange.  Intensives in other states and other countries are possible, but generally take longer to arrange. Contact the Referrals Director to begin discussions about Intensive therapy.
