Are You Ready Build Your Ideal Couples Therapy
Practice by Adding Couples
Therapy Intensives?
Your clients will be thanking you for making more progress in one day than they would in months of traditional therapy.
Do you want to make more money doing the type of work you really want to do?
Get StartedHave you thought about offering intensives, but…
- Clients are expecting the weekly 50 minute sessions
- Clients aren’t sure if the high cost is really going to be worth it
- You aren’t sure where to start with getting people to sign up for one
- You aren’t fully confident in how to set up the work or what you would do during the intensive
- You get bogged down in figuring out how long they should be, how much they should cost, how to add the service to your website

These are just a few of the hurdles we will overcome together in this
Couples Intensive Masterclass

Are you ready to cross “start doing intensives”
off your to do list?
Years ago, I knew I wanted to start doing intensives, but I wasn’t sure where to start and I was too afraid of what clients would think if I suggested it to them.
There were so many things to figure out and being overwhelmed kept me stuck.
Once I started offering intensives it completely changed my life, my career, and my effectiveness as a therapist.
That is why I created this course to help you schedule your first intensive in the next 90 days.
I wanted to create a masterclass where the amount of money you will make from intensives will far exceed the cost of this course.
And I want you to get results fast!
What would it mean for you if you could schedule one intensive per month?
The reason clients want to take the time and
money to do intensives is that it gets them results.
People aren’t worried about the cost of something if they feel like the value is worth it.
The results that are possible from a one day intensive are much greater than the results that are possible working with someone for 50 minutes a week for 3-6 months
When you follow the traditional therapy set up it just doesn’t provide enough time for couples to even get to the heart of the matter.
So how does it sound to make more money, help people get better results, and build a reputation as a Couples Therapist in your area. The great thing is that you will begin to have a reputation as the therapist who does intensives and people will seek you out for that.

What will you get with
this Masterclass
I filmed myself doing a 5 hour intensive with one couple so that I could share with you the step by
step process that I use to help them get results. During this course I will show you videos and then intermittently break down what I was doing, how I approach working with couples, and what I
might do differently in other situations.
In the last section I will break down the business side of things, how to decide how long your intensive will be, how much to charge, and how to convince people that doing an intensive is the right choice for them. We will also have live Q&A calls where you can directly as me questions and get answers to your specific situation.

About me
Hi, I’m Shane Birkel. I used to get so frustrated when I was stuck
in the old 50 minute session, one time a week paradigm. It simply
doesn’t work for a lot of the couples who need help.
Couples come to us in desperate situations. Sometimes they’ve experienced an affair, sometimes they’re considering divorce, sometimes the lives of their children will be significantly impacted by what they decide.
These things can’t be solved in 50 minutes and then I’ll see you next week.
As therapists, we can help couples get what they need by providing them with an intensive experience.
Personally, as a couples therapist, I have seen how amazing the results can be doing intensives. I have literally seen people transform their relationship in one day.
I want to teach you how to do this so that you can have the Couples Therapy Practice of your dreams.
