Tuscaloosa Christian Counseling

Will I be forced to do anything I don’t want to do?

No. The intensive team is highly skilled at meeting people where they are and not expecting them to be somewhere they are not (based on their personality and emotional set). A spirit of openness and emotional safety is fostered from the moment a couple arrives and they find their own comfort level and level of participation within the first few hours of the experience. 

What does the Intensive cost?

 At Tuscaloosa Christian Counseling we want you to be treated the way we would if we were looking for marriage help. We don’t want to make you call simply to find out the cost. These are private Marriage Intensives–you are not in a group. The cost of a 3-day Marriage Intensive is $1895.00.

Fees do not include lodging or meals. Typical hotel rates start at $85.00 per night. Couples have a wide variety of nearby restaurants to choose from.

We are only able to hold dates with the receipt of a deposit. To secure your Marriage Intensive dates, a deposit of half the amount is required at the time of scheduling. The other half is due 10 days before your Marriage Intensive.   We do accept Visa, MasterCard, and Discover.

Will insurance pay for the Intensive?

We recommend that all clients contact their insurance company/human resource dept. prior to coming to an Intensive and clarify what benefits may apply.  When requested by the client, we will provide a detailed receipt with a diagnosis and CPT code for your insurance purposes.  This receipt will show the marriage counselor and clinic info, EIN, License # and the amount the client has paid to us.  However, we currently do not submit to insurance companies on behalf of our clients.

How can I get more information and register?

You can get more information and register for an Intensive by calling our office at 205-752-752-7557.   Our staff is here to help you.   If you would like to contact someone by e-mail.   You may communicate with Dr. John Thorington at johnthorington@gmail.com

What happens after the Intensive?

Formal recommendations are made to each couple for their specific next steps. Each scenario is highly customized to the couple and is a major component of the couples’ success over time. Some couples may even decide to come back for a “refresher” one year to 18 months after their initial experience.

In what way is your approach faith-based?

One of the questions for potential participants for Marriage Intensives of Tuscaloosa Christian Counseling (TCC) is this:  Would you accept a miracle of healing in your marriage if it were given to you?  
 
The therapists for TCC approach marriage not as merely a contract but a covenant, an eternal promise between a man, a woman, and God.   The therapists have studied theology as well as psychology and their approach is rooted in an understanding of both.
 
Participants of all faiths are welcome.  The therapists all come from a Christian background.  Their job is to meet participants where they are spiritually, whatever their faith, and show them the roadmap to move from a troubled marriage to the vibrant, lasting marriage they always hoped for.
