Our rates
are
$160 per 50-minute block of time whether for individual, couple, or family therapy.

A non-refundable 50% deposit is required ahead of time by credit card to reserve the longer 4, 6, 8, or 12-hour individual, couple or family sessions with John (this is different than the
ClearLife® Clinic Process )

John is currently taking appointments for 
1, 2, 4, 8, and 12-hour individual or couple therapy sessions (or family reconciliation sessions) in both his Minneapolis and Reno locations. These intensive sessions allow deeper work to get done, and it is expected that the time between them will typically be much greater. Often, a 12-hour weekend session allows a "stuck" individual, couple or family to successfully move forward with only limited post-intensive follow-up. Many people schedule an intensive on Thursday evenings and all day Friday, and then spend an extended weekend at Lake Tahoe, which is only 40 minutes from Reno.
