Couples & Individual Weekend Intensives

Meet Valerie Kolick, MA, RLT Certified Coach

As a trained psychotherapist turned relationship coach, I aim to help my clients create deep and lasting change.

I use an eclectic approach combining my training in Somatic Experiencing, Interpersonal Neurobiology, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Trauma Transformation Healing, Memory Reconsolidation, and Relational Life Therapy (RLT).

The techniques I use provide quick and lasting transformation at the unconscious level.

My clients see fast and long-lasting change often in the first session.

About the Weekend Intensive Style

The pain you are feeling and the growth you are hoping for is too great and too urgent to slowly work through in traditional therapy or coaching for months or years. If you are like me, you want quick, long-lasting and transformative results. After working with clients in long term coaching I realized that short-term, intensive spurts are much more effective.

We create fast, permanent change in 48-hours. We spend the first 2 hours session working with you (as a couple or individual) to get clear on what shifts you want to make and together we discover what unconscious patterns are keeping you stuck in the first place. And the remainder of the weekend intensive and follow-up sessions create HUGE transformations.

Consultations are free! Start today.

What to Expect from a Weekend Intensive

One powerful weekend to reset and realign your relationship

When you register for a Weekend Intensive, you can expect:

- 2-Hour preparation session (virtual or in person)
- Saturday: 9 am - 5ish pm, Sunday: 9 am - 5ish pm with 1-hour lunch breaks.
- In person at Starobin Counseling, 18213 Hillcrest Avenue, Olney, MD 20832
- Option to schedule follow up sessions after your weekend intensive (as availability permits)
- Adds up to 20-23 total hours.

If you've ever been in traditional therapy or coaching, you'll notice that the first 15-20 minutes of every 50 minute session is spent catching up on what's happened since the last session.

With the intensive format, we get back that wasted time because the sessions are longer and are closer together.

Essentially, the intensive coaching is equal to 25-30 weekly sessions of traditional therapy.

You will see better results in a

weekend than you would in months of traditional therapy.

Which makes it the perfect format for individuals and couples who need results quickly!!

Your intensive sessions are structured to meet your specific individual/family goals and needs. Read below to understand potential topics to be covered.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where will the sessions take place?

Starobin Counseling, 18213 Hillcrest Avenue, 2nd Floor, Olney, MD.

Please note: the office is located on the second floor of a home that has been transformed into an office suite, and there is not an elevator.

What is included in the intensive package?

20-23 hours of coaching between the prep session, weekend intensive and two follow-up sessions. Additional follow up sessions can be added if desired.

Will the individual intensive really change me deeply?

The modalities I use create deep and permanent change. My clients often see incredible shifts in their emotions and behaviors that are long-lasting. These shifts open up new possibilities for creating your greatest life and reaching your biggest goals.

Will the couples’ intensive save my relationship?

This depends on many factors and on what each partner wants for the relationship and themselves. Most couples that come to me have been to 3 or more therapists/coaches with little success before working with me.

My life isn't that bad - or our relationship isn't really in trouble - I just want to be the best version of myself. Will this intensive be a good fit?

If you want transformation, growth, and don't like to settle - this is going to give you exactly what you need.

What is the investment for the Weekend Intensive?

During your free consultation, Valerie will discuss pricing and payment options.

How can I schedule my intensive?

I only take 1 new client per month and need to be sure the intensive is the right fit for your situation. Please schedule a free consultation call where I'll gather some information about your situation, you can ask me any questions, and we can decide what is the best path for you.

Can I sign up for one or two sessions instead?

Yes. As an alternative, I also offer weekly coaching sessions as an RLT Certified Coach at Starobin Counseling.

Please contact Becky, our Client Care Coordinator, at becky@starobincounseling.com for more information about how to schedule weekly or biweekly coaching sessions with me.

Once I do an intensive, can I start weekly coaching with you?

At the end of the intensive we will create a plan for you to ensure continuity and so you can move forward. You will have an option to schedule an additional intensive or weekly sessions if spots are available.
