What makes us different?
Intimacy
We don’t discuss intimacy.
We do intimacy.
Learning to be relational comes from being relational.
The intimate relationship is an integral part of the healing experience.
Our staff works intimately with our individual clients to help them discover and see their authentic selves.
We help couples develop or deepen their intimacy on all levels and to remove the obstacles that hold them back from feeling more intimately connected.
Our Intimacy Groups are living, breathing experiences of intimacy.
. For us, the relationship between therapist and client is sacred.
It’s more than someone to tell stories to.
It’s more than “a friend who listens.”
It’s more than someone telling you to do “self care.”
It’s more than someone who gives you advice.
The relationship with your therapist should be one of the most intimate experiences of your life
At the Center for Intimacy Recovery it is.
