Vive equips families with the experience and understanding they need to heal.
Vive Family Intensives provides transformational family therapy through short-term, intensive family experiences. Vive addresses the root cause of what keeps families stuck in dysfunctional patterns by surrounding the family with an exceptional amount of support that includes between 5-10 days of family therapy that include state-of-the-art clinical interventions, neurotherapies, canine-assisted therapy, and experiential exercises. Vive family intensive has not only demonstrated effectiveness in improving young people’s self-concept, anxiety, depression, and shame but has been characterized as providing the healing effects of six months of therapy in only one to two weeks.
At Vive our specialty is getting to the root of the pain caused by developmental trauma, which is often complicated by relinquishment, poor self-concept, maladaptive behaviors, and PTSD.

What is Family Therapy? And why does Vive use it?
Vive selected family therapy as our primary modality because we firmly believe that parents need to be the safe and secure base for their child, not the therapist. Our mission is to create a “safe CASA” within the family, so that communication becomes the primary means to work through issues, versus holding each other in contempt, giving the silent treatment, slamming doors, etc. Family therapy focuses on creating a healthy family system, strengthening the parental dyad, improving appropriate communication, solidifying boundaries and limits, and helping to create emotional and physical safety within the context of the family, all while exploring the child’s developmental trauma that is impacting their life and their family.
