The Intensive Method:
Revolutionizing the Future of Mental Health Care

Our Mission:

To spark a journey of accelerated healing and profound personal growth for clients while empowering mental health practitioners in mental health roles to transcend conventional boundaries of counseling and coaching.

With this purpose, we aim to amplify practitioner success, cultivate increased revenue, scheduling flexibility, and deliver deeply gratifying client outcomes.

 

The Intensive Method Vision:

We envision a world where:

  • mental health treatment is not only more effective but also more efficient
  • individuals, couples, and families receive the support they need to thrive
  • practitioners are equipped with practical tools and greater flexibility to deliver impactful care with lasting results.

We aim to pioneer a new era in clinical practices around the globe, transforming lives one intensive session at a time.

The Intensive Method Promise

To Promote a Community of Trust:

Within the Intensive Method Community and with our clients, we foster genuine connections, prioritizing transparency to build strong and trusting relationships. This foundation allows for meaningful therapeutic interactions and collaborative efforts, guiding transformative journeys for all.

To Provide a Sound Training Method:

We provide clinicians with robust and evidenced-based training of The Intensive Method, offering comprehensive resources and easy-to-implement strategies. Our program empowers clinicians with the skills, knowledge, and confidence necessary to deliver effective and impactful interventions to clients, ensuring they are fully equipped to facilitate meaningful change and achieve positive outcomes in intensive based therapy approaches in the mental health support industry.

To Propagate Dynamic Transformation:

The Intensive Method offers clinicians a path of personal growth and professional development, alongside a supportive community of certified peers. The immersive and focused approach of The Intensive Method trains and empowers clinicians in two significant ways:

1) through competency development that aids in guiding clients through profound and lasting transformations of self-discovery, growth, and empowerment; and

2) by implementing relevant, cutting-edge tools and interventions that will revolutionize their private practice.

Hope & Freedom’s President, Cristina Wehner

I started out in my practice offering traditional counseling, eager and ready to make a difference in the lives of hurting people in my community. But when a couple in crisis came to me looking for help with their marriage, the challenges they were facing seemed way too intense and complex to handle in single-hour sessions. They wanted help, and they wanted help fast. There had to be a way to help them fast-track their recovery, some more intensive therapy options.

That’s when I found Hope & Freedom. The founder, Dr. Milton Magness, was offering these 3-day Intensives for sex addiction and betrayal trauma. I encouraged my clients to try it out.

I couldn’t believe the change I saw in them when they came back. The experience was truly life changing! With an intensive under their belts, the foundation was laid for me to provide ongoing therapy to support their recovery efforts.

I started sending more clients to Hope & Freedom, and more clients came back with incredible stories of growth and transformation. When I found out that Dr. Magness was training clinicians in this process, I hopped on a plane and went to train with him in Houston. I brought the Intensive Method principles back to my practice and began offering identical Intensives in my community.

In 2020, I became the president of Hope & Freedom. Today, it is my heart’s desire to see more and more clinicians empowered with this method of delivering therapy to clients, regardless of their professional specialty. Not only has it made a world of difference for my clients, it has changed the way I conduct my business and my life.

After years of practicing, the evidence of lives changed is clear. The Intensive Method is a powerful tool for any clinician. I am excited for you to embark on this transformative journey!
