Sound Familiar?
- You can list exactly what's wrong, and somehow that hasn't fixed anything.
- You're not sure anymore if this is a rough patch or the beginning of the end.
- The two of you can go a whole day without really talking, even in the same room.
- You've read the books, listened to the podcasts — you're just tired of doing this alone.
- Everyone assumes you're fine because you're always the one holding it together.
Built for People Who Are Used to Handling Everything Themselves
Most of the Summit clients I work with are high-functioning, well-resourced,
and not in the habit of asking for help.
By the time they reach out, they've usually already tried to think their way through it.
- Executives and professionals who solve everyone else's problems but not their own
- Couples facing infidelity, disconnection, or a real stay-or-go decision
- People whose patterns started long before this relationship, in the family they grew up in
- People who've done therapy before and want something with more traction
- Clients who want privacy, discretion, and a therapist who won't be fazed by their story
- Summit residents who want real in-person care without a long commute, or virtual sessions that work around a demanding schedule
The Case for Doing This in a Single Day
A weekly session gives you 50 minutes, and a good chunk of that usually goes to catching up. A therapy intensive clears that away entirely — a half-day or full-day block where we can go as deep as the work actually requires, without watching the clock.
For Summit clients, that usually looks like one of two things: a concentrated start before moving into regular weekly sessions, or a single focused block to work through something specific — an affair, a breaking point, a family pattern you're finally ready to name, or a decision that's been stalled for months.
Where it's clinically appropriate, intensives can also incorporate Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), offered in partnership with Journey Clinical, for processing that goes further than talk therapy alone.
"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."

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.

-

-
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. Sessions are available virtually anywhere in New Jersey, as well as in person at the Montclair office, about 25 minutes from Summit. Many Summit clients choose a mix of both.
-
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.
