Parent-Child Relationship Repair Intensive
Where connection begins again
Private. Focused. Therapist Led.
Led by Rachel Hixon, Licensed Associate Counselor
A private, two-day therapy experience for parents and their adult children (18+). Together with a therapist, you'll have focused time to understand what has created distance, work through hurt, change patterns, and begin building a healthier relationship.
This May Be For You If…
- You care about the relationship, but something has gotten in the way.
- Hurt, conflict, or distance keeps pulling you apart.
- You keep having the same conversations without getting anywhere.
- You're both willing to show up and try something different.
Many families plan an intensive around a visit, which makes this format a good fit when a parent and adult child live in different cities.
What to Expect
Two focused days
Consecutive days of private therapy, without the week-to-week gaps of traditional sessions.
A guided process
Rachel structures each day around the goals you set together beforehand.
Time to go deeper
Extended time lets conversations continue instead of stopping when the hour ends.
A way forward
You'll leave with a shared understanding of next steps for your relationship.
