Understanding the cost of intensive therapy is the first step toward choosing the right format for your relationship. Mountain Family Therapy offers flexible pricing structures that range from short virtual sessions to multi-day in-person retreats. These options allow couples to select a level of intensity and financial commitment that aligns with their specific goals and budget.
1. Four-Hour Virtual Intensive
The lowest-friction entry point for focused relationship work.
This format is designed for couples who want a concentrated burst of therapeutic support without the travel or time commitment of a full retreat. At Mountain Family Therapy, a four-hour virtual intensive is priced under $1,000. This option is ideal for partners who need to address a specific crisis or break a negative communication pattern quickly. It provides a structured environment to make significant progress in a single day.
2. Full-Day Virtual Intensive
A deeper dive into relationship dynamics with extended session time.
3. Multi-Day Virtual Intensive
Sustained immersion for couples needing extended support.
Some relationships benefit from multiple days of intensive work to address deep-seated patterns. Multi-day virtual intensives are custom-priced based on the number of days, the format, and the specific therapeutic goals. This option is suitable for couples who have tried shorter formats and found they need more time to build new skills. The pricing scales with the duration, ensuring that the investment matches the depth of the work required.
4. In-Person Retreat in North Idaho
An immersive experience combining therapy with a natural setting.
Mountain Family Therapy offers in-person intensives near Sandpoint, Idaho, providing a retreat-style environment. These retreats typically run $1,000 to $5,000 per day, with the total cost depending on the length of stay and the number of participants. The setting includes access to local experiences such as the lake, hiking, and biking, which can enhance the therapeutic process. This option is best for couples who want to remove themselves from their daily environment to focus entirely on their relationship.

5. Customized Private vs. Group Formats
Pricing varies based on whether the intensive is private or group-based.
The final pricing variable is the format of the intensive. Private intensives, where a couple works one-on-one with a therapist, generally command a higher per-day rate than group formats. Group intensives may offer a lower per-person cost but provide a different dynamic, often including peer support. Mountain Family Therapy customizes these options to fit the couple's needs, ensuring that the pricing reflects the specific level of attention and resources required.
Choosing the Right Pricing Option
Selecting the right intensive depends on your relationship's current state and your financial flexibility. If you are in a crisis, a four-hour virtual intensive may be the most practical starting point. If you need a complete reset, a multi-day in-person retreat in Idaho offers the most immersive experience. Consider your goals, your schedule, and your budget when making this decision.
