What is an Intensive?
An “Intensive” is a model of therapy in which, rather than having shorter weekly or biweekly sessions, clients come for much longer periods of intense work. Daring Ventures intensives typically range from one to four days in length, and each one is custom designed for clients. We offer intensives for a number of purposes, including those listed below.
“We just celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary, which would not have been possible had it not been for the love, guidance and support we received from the team at Daring Ventures. In the darkest of times, they were there for both of us, and I can never thank them enough. ❤️”

How Can I Begin a Daring Ventures Intensive?
Intensives at Daring Ventures are highly customized experiences. Applying for an intensive experience does not guarantee you will be offered one. Most of the time, extensive assessment is required before a formal proposal for an intensive is even offered to clients. Please review the Intensive Application Process outlined below and then fill out the application if you are ready to embark on an Intensive with Daring Ventures.

#1) Fill Out The Application
Fill out the application found on this webpage to start the process.

#2) Schedule Your Consultation Call
At the end of the application, you’ll be provided a link to a site where you can schedule your 20 minute consultation call with our Intensive Coordinator.

#3) Complete the Online Assessments
Most clients are asked to complete one or more assessments online to provide more data in the treatment planning process.

#4) Schedule Your Intake Sessions
Over the course of one or two sessions, we gather much more history and background, review the results of the assessments, and collaborate on what your intensive might look like.

#5) Receive Your Customized Intensive Proposal
After completing the assessment process, our team will design a treatment plan and intensive proposal for you. It will include proposed goals, schedule, and cost.
