In person only. Curated to your family. Led by Lydia Thompson, LPC-MHSP.

Some families reach a point where the weekly hour is not enough. The same fights keep circling. A teenager has gone quiet, or slammed the door one too many times. It can start to feel complicated and overwhelming, like there is too much happening at once to know where to begin.

The Family Reset Intensive gives you a way to slow it all down. It condenses months of therapy into a few focused days. We get underneath the pattern and give your family a clear way forward, together.

Is this your family right now?

High conflict with a teenager. The arguments repeat and nothing seems to land.

Rebuilding after a rupture. Something happened, and trust needs repair.

A blended family finding its footing. New roles, old loyalties, real friction.

A home that has grown tense and distant. Everyone is under one roof, and far apart.

It is also a decisive first step for parents weighing bigger decisions who want real, concentrated help before making them.

What the work looks like

Every intensive is curated to your family. Here is how the time is shaped. The half-day is a focused version of this. The full and two-day formats go deeper, with breaks and a catered meal.

1Before we begin

Intake before the day

We speak with your family first, so we arrive already knowing your story. This is also where we make sure an intensive is the right fit before you commit.

2Opening

Together, we name what is happening

We set a clear goal for the day so everyone knows what we are working toward.

3The core work

Smaller sessions, then back together

Each person is heard on their own. Then, with the pattern in view, we help your family relate differently, and practice it in the room.

4Close

Agree on what changes and what comes next

We turn the day into concrete steps your family can actually take.

5After

You leave with something written to keep

Every family leaves with written takeaways. The Full-Day and Two-Day Resets also include the complete plan and a follow-up session, so the work does not end when the day does.

The deliverable

You leave with a plan, not just a feeling.

Your written Family Reset plan names the pattern in plain language, gives each person concrete next steps, and lays out the tools to keep practicing at home. If ongoing support would help, it says so, and points you to it. For some families, that includes continued therapy, with individual members choosing to work on their own issues with one of our other clinicians here at Concord Family Counseling. It is the thing you return to when the old habits try to creep back.

The full written plan is included with the Full-Day and Two-Day Resets. The Half-Day Reset sends you home with a written summary and clear next steps.

How we work

Every intensive draws on attachment and family systems work, with cognitive behavioral tools where they help. We do not take sides and we do not lecture. We help each person feel heard, make the pattern visible, and build a new way of relating that can hold after you leave.

What if my teenager does not want to come?

Most do not, at first. That is normal, and we plan for it. An intensive is not an ambush. Your teen has private time where what they share stays theirs, within clear limits for safety. We build trust before we ask for anything hard, and we coach you as a parent on how to hold the day. Reluctant teens often soften once they feel the room is fair.

Common questions

What is a family intensive?

It is a longer, concentrated block of family therapy that condenses months of weekly work into a few focused days. Families often reach the equivalent of several months of progress in a single intensive.

How is this different from weekly therapy?

Weekly therapy is steady and ongoing. An intensive is immersive. Without the week pulling everyone in different directions, a family can get underneath a pattern and shift it faster.

Our situation feels really complicated. Is an intensive still right for us?

Often, yes. When a lot is happening at once, an intensive gives you the time and focus to work through it together, rather than a piece at a time. If more support would help afterward, your written plan will point the way.

Do you offer the intensive by telehealth?

No. The Family Reset Intensive is in person only, at our Brentwood office, because the work depends on being in the room together.

How do we get started?

Request a consultation. We talk through what is happening, confirm that an intensive is the right fit, and then schedule your day.

How soon can we schedule?

We schedule intensives as soon as we can. Because each one takes dedicated time to plan and hold, they usually land two to four weeks out.

When you are ready, we are ready.
