Affair Recovery Intensives
Get it all on the table without the soul suck of working on it week by week.
2 Day, Brainspotting and Ketamine Intensives for Healing Your Relationship
Can you imagine this for your relationship after an affair or a huge fight?
You wake up every day next to the person you love most in this world and you feel a sense of peace, joy, and gratitude.
You’ve been through it all together. There were so many times you each thought you were at your breaking point and about to call it quits, but with the right support and guidance, you made it through to this blissful place of love, connection and deep friendship.
Your breaking point was what led you to talking about EVERYTHING.
You both finally told the truth and even though it ripped your hearts out to hear it, once you hit rock bottom the only place you could go was up. The ride was the most difficult thing you’ve ever been through, but you’d do it all again if you knew it would lead you here…
There’s absolutely no doubt in your mind about where you stand. You look forward to them walking through the door every day. You’re excited when your phone lights up with a text from them. You haven’t been this affectionate and passionate since you were dating. You can’t get enough of each other! You never thought your relationship could be this good. You look forward to your weekly date nights and alone time - it’s your favorite part of the day.
Does this relationship, post affair, sound a little too good to be true?
That’s probably because what’s happening in your relationship feels like the complete opposite. You have no idea how or why this happened but the pain you feel is unbearable. One minute your anger is exploding, you’re ripping pictures off the wall and wondering if anything they ever even said about loving you was true - how could someone do something like this to the person they claim to love??
The next minute you’re sobbing uncontrollably into your pillow and wondering if the pain will ever end.
You question yourself and wonder what you could have done to deserve this - you scrutinize your looks, your weight, everything about your physical appearance. Sometimes it’s easier to blame yourself than your partner.
You thought you knew them and you never thought that in a million years they would betray you like this.
The betrayal hurts so bad because you know you love your partner more than anything in the world. You find yourself wanting to be close to them, wanting desperately to be reassured that they still love you and want to work through this.
Your mind gets caught up in the details. Where did it happen? How many times did you text or meet up? You try desperately to make sense of the timeline. You scrutinize every response your partner gives you, listening to the way their voice sounds, and hoping that you’ll be able to tell if they are lying or not.
You desperately want the truth.
Healing from Infidelity In Your Relationship
Your partner has tried to tell you everything, they let you see the messages, share their location, call you, reassure you, but it never feels like enough. Your partner wonders when you will ever trust them again. They want to move on, but you feel stuck.
Finding out your partner cheated has made you question everything about the past and whether they were even trying to fix things with you.
Couples Therapist for Infidelity
I help couples who are exhausted from trying to heal their relationships after infidelity to create a path towards connection and healing through intensive couples therapy. I am an expert therapist trained to work with infidelity. I use various methods to help calm your nervous system so that you don’t find the therapy room just another place where you fight and have a referee.
In my affair recovery intensives, you will have the opportunity to speak honestly and openly about what’s happened, and receive the guidance you truly need to start rebuilding trust. You will both feel so supported knowing that you are able to have the really hard conversations with someone who won’t take sides but will keep your communication on track and with the intensive format there’s no more running gout of time and bottling up until next week. We have the time and space to go deep.
Not only do I help you understand why the betrayals have happened in the relationship, I help you open your hearts so you and your partner can make necessary changes to understand yourselves and one another in a completely new way.

More About My Intensive Couples Therapy Format
If you’re like most of my clients, you don’t just want to be told you need to make time for date nights or to forgive and forget. You don’t want to come to therapy every week and rehash the fight of the week.
This pain feels unbearable but you’re committed to working through it and just because you don’t know how, doesn’t mean you should move straight towards divorce. You don’t know how much longer you can go on like this, but the thought of calling an attorney and splitting custody of your kids scares the bejeesus out of you.
You want big changes, and you want them fast.
You want a relationship built on trust and you want a concrete plan on how to restore the trust and feel confident in your commitment to one another.
You don’t want to wonder what your partner is thinking, and constantly question whether they are looking to get their needs met outside the relationship. You love your partner so deeply. Even with all the hurt, the frustration, and the hopelessness a part of you is still fully committed. You KNOW there is a way… but an hour a week… it isn’t gonna do it. You’ve tried that before and it was such a let down.
You’ve been there, right? Forty-five minutes of just trying to catch the therapist up on what has been happening and then ding! Time’s up!
Every week more hurt just builds up and there’s more distance and wounds to manage and you don't know how you’ll ever get to it all, there just never seems to be enough time. You are not alone. This is not your fault. An hour a week isn’t right for all couples and your therapist should’ve told you that. In fact, you may have felt like your therapist was hoping you’d quit. They weren’t really sure how to handle all that you brought to the table.
Meet Your Couples Expert
I’m Alicia. I’m not intimidated. Bring me all of your shit! I’ve spent the last 15 years working with couples just like you. And I used to do it just like the rest of the couples therapists I knew and learned from. One week at a time, 50 minutes at a time. For many of the couples I worked with who just wanted help communicating and improving their connection, I helped them get great results. But for those who really needed to work through some big resentments, deep hurts, and infidelity, the weekly sessions just weren’t cutting it.
Those that really stayed committed, never missed their weekly sessions, and who rearranged their lives to do so got to experience amazing transformations in their relationships. But what I started noticing was that most people couldn’t be that dedicated. Not because they didn’t want to, and it wasn’t for a lack of trying. They just had too many other commitments impeding on their desire to truly transform their relationship and they needed the help yesterday!
Over the last several years I started offering longer sessions and intensives to clients who were really stuck and just needed more time and attention. I hardly advertised it, but after seeing how valuable it truly is and the transformations my clients have experienced as a result, I want that for you too!
My intensive therapy format helps us dive deep, make real change, and do it quickly.
4 hours in 4 weeks? F that… more like 4 hours in a day.
Let’s get crystal clear on the patterns and create a plan of action to start unraveling this now.
We’ll start with a 2-day intensive and start making progress on day one - and then we’ll continue our work together for one year. One year is not an arbitrary number - it’s the length of time most couples take to heal from an infidelity. Following your intensive, we will meet either once a month for a 4-hour intensive, or twice a month for 100-minute sessions.
I go outside of the box and we can talk about integrating Brainspotting or Ketamine Assisted Therapy into this plan of action.
I help couples who are exhausted from trying to heal their relationships after infidelity or years of resentments to start understanding each other and learn to appreciate one another. I help couples who are truly committed but feel like they’ve tried everything else.
No more feeling anxious while you look at the clock and wonder how you’ll ever get to the important stuff.
For the cost of an attorney’s retainer fee, you could save your marriage.
These intensives are for couples who need help fast.
While gathering your background information and relationship history is important, it doesn't have to take a month to start getting to work because we’ll knock that out in the pre-intensive interviews. I’ll meet with you and your partner together and get a sense of where you are, what your goals are, and how the infidelity has impacted the relationship. I will also meet with each of you individually to hear about your trauma histories and how you’re coping with the affair. After that, you’ll come in together for your 2-day intensive. We will meet for 4 hours each day and lunch is included.
My clients come away with a sense of accomplishment after their intensives not, “let’s wait and see how this goes for the next couple of weeks.” I know you don’t have weeks, you want relief now.
They know exactly where they’re going because they leave with a clearly defined plan.
You can make the changes you really want to see in your relationship. No more walking on eggshells, no more worrying about the next blow out fight. Get it all out on the table and start on your road to a truly connected, loving, and passionate relationship.
Rebuilding a relationship takes time, effort, and energy, but you can gain serious momentum right from the start that will guide you for the remainder of your ride.
What you get with Couples Intensive:
EXPERT GUIDANCE
Get support from a couples expert so you know what conversations are important to have, and how to have them. Trying to do it alone often leads to more distance, confusion, and loneliness.
You will have a dedicated holder of hope for your relationship - not a referee! (Trust me, you don’t just want a referee!) But someone to guide you in the right direction when things get heated and you feel stuck.
DEDICATED FOCUS
Many couples think they can read a book or set aside focused time on their own to sit down and talk and repair their relationships. But what ends up happening is they lose focus and want to avoid difficult topics that feel uncomfortable to talk about and those planned sit downs never happen. An intensive gives you the focused time and attention that you truly need to make a big impact.
INNOVATIVE SUPPORT
This isn’t your, let’s just talk about it kinda therapy. We bring in real science-based tools that tap into your brain and body like brainspotting and if you need help letting the walls down, we bring in Ketamine to help open up the possibilities of healing. We take you out of your head to feel the shift of healing all the way into your body and heart.
What does an Affair Recovery Intensive include?
-
Pre-Intensive Interviews
A 50-minute session with both partners, and one 50-minute individual session for each partner to determine the goals of your Affair Recovery Intensive and prepare for the experience. We will identify the pain points and destructive patterns that you and your partner often find yourselves in and want relief from. This will help inform our work together and be the foundation for the process of rebuilding trust.
-
A Treatment Program that Works
The Affair Recovery Intensive sessions take place at my office in Rancho Cucamonga, CA, or virtually and are scheduled for 2 days in a row for 4 hours each day. This includes focused treatment that’s designed to make big changes.
-
Post-Intensive Treatment Plan
Following your 2-day intensive, you have 2 options for continuing our work together for the remainder of the year: monthly 4-hour meetings or twice monthly 100-minute sessions.
Why do an Affair Recovery Intensive instead of traditional weekly therapy?
You Need Change Now — Not Months Later
Traditional therapy can be powerful, but it’s slow by design.
The first three weeks are almost always dedicated to intake, assessment, and history.
Real deep work doesn’t start until session four.
Then, each week, you spend:
10 minutes reconnecting
30 minutes in the work
10 minutes winding down
Over two months, that gives you about 2–3 hours of actual deep healing time — stretched across eight weeks.
Now imagine a different experience:
A two-day intensive gives you:
Three prep sessions that accelerate readiness rather than delay progress
8 hours of dedicated, uninterrupted deep work
A level of momentum weekly therapy simply can’t provide
Breakthroughs that happen in days, not months
All for $4,250, with a clear plan forward for your relationship.
When you’re hurting…
When the crisis feels immediate…
When change can’t wait…
You deserve support that moves at the speed of your needs.

Traditional Therapy Vs. Intensive Couples Therapy
One of the hardest parts of weekly therapy is the way everything gets interrupted.
You might have opened up something vulnerable in one session… started to make sense of a painful pattern… or finally gotten to the root of something important. But then the hour ends, life happens, and you don’t return for another week.
And in that time?
A new argument happens.
A new misunderstanding cuts deep.
A fresh wave of hurt replaces the last one.
So when you show up the next week, instead of continuing the healing you started, you’re dealing with the latest fire, leaving last week’s wounds unresolved.
This is why so many couples feel stuck — not because they’re not trying, but because the pace of weekly therapy doesn’t match the pace of their pain.

FAQs
I already have a therapist. Can I still do an intensive?
Absolutely! I LOVE collaborating with other therapists to help clients get the holistic treatment they need and deserve. A 2-day intensive can help you when you feel like you’re experiencing a plateau in your current therapy process, or when you just need something a little more concentrated for a particular issue.
Are intensives covered by insurance?
Unfortunately, the healthcare system has not caught up to most people’s mental health needs and only provides reimbursement for traditional therapy sessions depending on your plan. Intensives are an out-of-pocket investment in doing deeper, more concentrated work that leads to quicker, lasting results.
Where are Affair Recovery Intensives offered?
Intensives are offered in the comfort of my Rancho Cucamonga office. Virtual intensives are also offered for anyone residing in the state of California.
What will we talk about for 4+ hours?
I know, 4 hours may seem like a really long time, however most of my clients report loving the ability to feel more secure and comfortable to go deeper in these sessions than in traditional therapy sessions because they know they won’t be cut off when things start to get more intense. Brainspotting intensives also eliminate the need to talk, talk, talk. A good portion of the time is used for deep, focused processing that requires very little talking but helps to create new neural pathways in the brain that lead to big shifts in behaviors and stuck emotions and feelings.
