About Marathon Therapy/Intensives

What is Marathon Therapy?

Marathon Therapy is an innovative form of therapeutic care that originates from Systemic Marriage and Family Therapy. The Marathon Model model supports relational systems to achieve ‘second order change’ rather than focusing on the minutiae of everyday stressors. These intensives are immersive - a holistic opportunity for individuals and relationships to experience a therapeutic deep dive into a specific issue.

Together we explore challenging patterns, traumas, and unhealthy cycles in your life story. We also identify your pleasures and enjoyments of life which bring wisdom as well! Our sessions are intense yet enjoyable (I love to bring humor into the room) and you will leave every Intensive with an extensive list of evidence-based resources and effective interventions that are individually crafted to significantly enhance your life and relationships. If you’re willing and motivated to do the work to improve your life, this could be the therapeutic framework for you.

Marathon Therapy sessions range from 2 to 5 hours. In some cases, an intensive/MT session might be one 3 hour session once a month; in other cases, clients may choose to schedule an intensive on a quarterly basis or a few times a year. Together we will determine the frequency of your intensives.

If 50-60 minute weekly therapy sessions barely scratch the surface for you, Marathon Therapy may be an excellent fit.

I look forward to hearing from you!

The idea that true passion, sex, and intimacy has to be spontaneous is BS. Communication is sexy. Having your needs met is sexy. Seeing a name that excites you in your calendar is SUPER sexy. We have been scheduling opportunities for intimacy since
I’ve spent more energy than I care to admit agonizing over how to thank everyone involved in this PhD process. All of who I am went into this dissertation and therefore people in every part of my life contributed. “Thank you” will n
Pinch me. Last night I received an email that Kim and I won the AASECT Award for Integrative Approaches to Sex Therapy. For those who are unaware, AASECT stands for American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists; it’s
I was reluctant to share this because humility > pride but a good friend reminded me that an achievement like this is the essence of attraction rather than promotion. I completed a PhD in Clinical Sexology and as of today I’m Dr. Mia Fine.
