relationship intensives with Yana

Relationship Intensives are a great way for busy, motivated partners to dig into specific areas of their relationship in an efficient, rewarding way without the effort and scheduling hassle of weekly therapy sessions.

Relationship Intensives get right to the relational goods while still holding traditional therapeutic benefit for partners including increasing communication skills, tackling tough issues that’ve proven difficult to resolve on your own, and bolstering each partner’s confidence as a partner and individual.

Relationship Intensives start in-person in Yana’s private practice office in downtown Greenfield, Massachusetts. Subsequent follow-up sessions can then be held either in-person or online via video chat so that partners traveling from a distance can engage in Relationship Intensives without having to travel to Greenfield more than once.

Virtual Relationship Intensives are open to Vermont, Massachusetts, Florida, and New Hampshire residents. In-person Relationship Intensives are available to all who are willing and able to travel to Greenfield, MA.

With each Relationship Intensive partners will receive:

A complimentary consultation call to determine if a Relationship Intensive is the right fit for you!

Your choice of three Relationship Intensive options : 

1) Weekday Mini (3 hrs + 1 follow-up session) 

2) Weekend Mini (4 hrs + 1 follow-up session) 

3) Weekend Full day (8 hrs + 3 follow-up sessions)

Limited free follow-up therapy sessions with flexible scheduling and via online video call or in-person in Greenfield, MA.

1. Exploring Ethical Non-Monogamy

In the Ethical Non-Monogamy intensive, established partners will dig into the details of opening their previously monogamous relationship to additional partners, will explore the possibilities of non-monogamous relationship styles such as polyamory and open relationships, and will leave their intensive having discussed new relationship agreements, potential pitfalls, fears, and a way to move forward into new relationship terrain. This Relationship Intensive is also open to already non-monogamous structures looking to fine-tune their relationships or handle a relationship crisis. These sessions can accommodate more than two relationship structures upon request.

2. Sex Life Kickstarter

In the Sex Life Kickstarter intensive, partners will do a deep dive into their sex lives, exploring issues of intimacy, desire, sexual satisfaction, and sexuality. Partners who have discovered a rift in their sex life, would like to jumpstart their flailing bedroom dynamics, or who just want to explore new sexual terrains together are the perfect fit for this intensive. Yana brings her decade of experience as a sex educator into these sessions and offers an open, non-judgmental approach when working with individuals and partners about this most private part of their lives. You can read more about her experience as a sex educator here.

3. Communication Skills School

Let’s admit it, all of us could go back to communication school and learn how to better speak to our partners about what we want and need in our relationships. In this Relationship Intensive, partners will learn concrete communication strategies to improve their overall relationship satisfaction and ongoing ability to tell each other what they really mean without stirring or avoiding conflict. Partners will explore what sits behind their current communication style, what’s working for them, what isn’t, and how to efficiently self- and other-soothe for communication that really clicks.

 

4. Custom Package

None of these fit the bill? Though each Relationship Intensive Package is customized to suit each unique set of partners, don’t hesitate to reach out about the specific therapeutic goals you’d like to reach during a Relationship Intensive with Yana and she’ll create a Relationship Intensive Package that will work for you.
