The Weight You're Carrying
Sound Familiar?
- You keep waiting for things to feel normal again, and they haven't yet.
- You're managing a full, successful life and still feel alone inside your relationship.
- Small talk has replaced the conversations that actually matter.
- You'd rather not run into your therapist at the grocery store.
- You want a clear path forward, not just somewhere to process on repeat.
Looking Fine From the Outside Isn't the Same as Being Fine
You can have a genuinely good life and still be quietly struggling inside your
relationship. Those two things aren't a contradiction — they're actually the most
common reason people end up here.
This is a space to stop performing "fine" for a while.
- Your life looks good on paper, and something still feels off underneath it
- Infidelity, disconnection, or a relationship decision you haven't said out loud yet
- Patterns that started long before this relationship, in the family you grew up in
- You want depth, not another round of surface-level check-ins
- You'd rather keep this outside your immediate community
- You're ready to treat this like it matters, because it does
How I Can Help
How We Can Work Together
Therapy Intensives
A single concentrated block of time to get further than months of standard sessions typically allow.
Learn more →Couples Therapy
Direct couples work aimed at real change, not just a weekly place to vent.
Learn more →Individual Therapy — Trauma, Patterns & Family Roles
For repeating relationship patterns, betrayal, and attachment wounds — or for the guilt and overfunctioning that started in your family long before any relationship did.
Learn more →Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy
For when you understand your patterns but talk therapy alone hasn't been enough to change them.
Learn more →Why an Intensive Outperforms a Year of Weekly Sessions
Fifty minutes a week is easy to perform through. A half-day or full-day intensive isn't — it gives us enough time to get past the version of the story you're used to telling and into what's actually going on.
Fair Haven clients typically choose an intensive as either a concentrated launch point before weekly work, or as focused time to finally deal with one specific thing — an affair, a repeated pattern, a family role you're ready to put down, or a decision you've been avoiding.
Where clinically appropriate, intensives can also include Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), delivered in partnership with Journey Clinical — a combination not every practice in the area offers.
"We honestly didn't realize how much of a difference having extra time would make. We'd been seeing Alexandria for weekly therapy and making progress, but our intensive completely changed the pace of our work. Instead of stopping right when we were getting somewhere, we had the time to keep going, uncover what was really happening underneath our arguments, and actually practice communicating differently. It felt like months of therapy condensed into a single day. We both walked away feeling more connected, more hopeful, and with tools we're still using. If you're on the fence about an intensive, do it. It was one of the best investments we've made in our relationship."

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Individual sessions are $300 for 60 minutes.
Couples and family sessions are $350 for 60 minutes. This is a private-pay practice.
-
A 2-hour extended session is $720 for individuals or $840 for couples and families.
For a full-day intensive, pricing depends on timing: the 5-hour intensive is $2,250 on weekdays, $3,000 in the evening or on Friday/Saturday, or $4,000 on Sunday.
The 9-hour, two-day intensive is $4,000 on weekdays, $5,000 in the evening or on Friday/Saturday, or $6,000 on Sunday.
-
Intensives are available as a 2-hour extended session, a full-day 5-hour intensive, or a two-day 9-hour intensive, so you can choose the depth that matches what you need.
-
Betrayal trauma often shows up as intrusive thoughts about the betrayal, hypervigilance or checking behaviors, trouble sleeping, emotional numbness, and a shaken sense of trust in your own judgment. These are trauma responses, not a sign that something is wrong with you — and they're very treatable.
-
Many relationships not only survive infidelity but become more honest and connected than before — when both partners are willing to do the work. Recovery isn't guaranteed, and it isn't quick, but it's more possible than most people believe going in.
-
That's common. Many relationship patterns — guilt, overfunctioning, difficulty trusting, or repeating the same conflict — actually started in the family you grew up in, long before this relationship. Individual therapy can address that directly, whether it shows up as attachment patterns or as generational family roles.
-
It varies. Some couples notice a shift in communication within 6 to 10 sessions of focused work. Longer-standing patterns, like rebuilding trust after a betrayal, often benefit from an intensive to jump-start the work, followed by ongoing weekly sessions.
-
Yes. Ketamine is legal when prescribed off-label by a licensed medical provider and administered under medical supervision — which is how it's delivered here, through a partnership with Journey Clinical. It's not self-administered or recreational use.
-
No — this practice is private-pay only. Sessions are eligible for out-of-network reimbursement, and Mentaya is available to handle the superbill submission and insurance follow-up for you, so you're not stuck doing the paperwork yourself.
-
Yes — most Fair Haven clients choose virtual sessions given the distance to Montclair, and it works just as well for this kind of work. In-person is also available at the Montclair office for anyone who prefers it.
-
A free 15-minute call to talk through what's going on, answer your questions about fit and format, and figure out next steps together — no pressure to book afterward.
-
Most local practices offer weekly talk therapy alone. Here, couples and individuals also have access to therapy intensives — extended, concentrated sessions — as well as generational trauma and family-pattern work, and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy through a partnership with Journey Clinical, for clients who want to move faster or go deeper than standard weekly sessions allow.
