First Steps:
When applying for our Week Long Intensive Counseling, both husband and wife
need to be involved in a phone conversation with the Executive Director to
discuss what you see as your need for counseling. At that time the Director
will email some forms for you to fill out. Once you return the forms to us via
overnight mail, the team of counselors will review them and determine if this is
an issue with which we can help.
What Happens During the Week:
Our intensive counseling program takes one week. You will arrive on Sunday
afternoon and begin your sessions on Monday morning about 9 a.m. Counseling will
occur daily through Friday with approximately 20-25 hours of one-on-one
counseling with one of our trained counselors or team of counselors. Each day
will consist of meeting with the counselor(s), prayer time and reflection, and
homework assignments. A typical day runs from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. with some of
that time devoted to assigned homework. Friday will end mid afternoon.
You will have specific free times allotted during your week of counseling for
rest and relaxation. A hot breakfast, lunch with the counselor(s) and a light
evening dinner are included in the total cost of your week.
What to Bring:
The only things you need to bring are your Bible, a notebook and a pen or
pencil.
What NOT to Bring:
Since this week is devoted totally to helping you resolve the issues that
brought you to us, we ask you not to bring any items which would take your mind
or attention away from the focus of allowing the Holy Spirit to work in your
heart. Items to leave at home would include but are not limited to: electronic
devices such as cell phones, laptops, MP3 players, etc. If you need any of these
devices in your commute to us, one of our counselors will be glad to keep them
for you while you are with us. It also goes without saying that you should not
bring children or pets.
Cost:
The cost for the week-long intensive counseling is $2,500 which includes a
non-refundable registration fee of $250. This fee covers the cost of
approximately 20-25 hours of counseling, accommodations in our beautiful Counseling Center in
the Greenville, SC area, the majority of your meals, some publications and your discipleship program. The $250 deposit should
accompany the forms that you mail back to us before we confirm the date for your
counseling.
Once the forms arrive, it takes approximately one week for the committee of
counselors to review them and determine when and how to proceed. We will be in
touch to let you know when they arrive.
Travel Information:
After receiving all your paperwork, we will send a follow-up letter that will
include directions to the hotel as well as contact information. If you intend
to fly to Greenville, the closest airport is Greenville-Spartanburg
International Airport (GSP)
If you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact our
secretary at 864-322-0700, Ext. 108. We will do our very best to answer any questions you
may have.
