Thank you, from all us at Daring Ventures!
Here are ways we can walk with you into deeper healing...
Choose Connection Academy
Choose Connection Academy is a supportive, hybrid program designed to help couples rebuild trust, strengthen connection, and heal together after betrayal. Blending digital learning, practical homework, and flexible coaching, the Academy meets you exactly where you are—whether you’re seeking stability, navigating grief, or ready to grow into a more connected future. Guided with compassion and expertise, couples learn to become resilient, attuned partners—and the loving role models they hope to be for their families.
Intensives
An “Intensive” is a model of therapy in which, rather than having shorter weekly or biweekly sessions, clients come for much longer periods of intense work. Daring Ventures intensives typically range from one to four days in length, and each one is custom designed for clients. We offer intensives for a number of purposes, including:
- Therapeutic Disclosure
- Family of Origin
- Learning Empathy
- Healing for Betrayed Partners
Addiction and Trauma Treatment
Our multidisciplinary staff of highly trained professionals stands ready to join the journey of those seeking recovery and healing from the effects of trauma and addiction. We serve individuals who are ready to break the hold of addictive and compulsive behaviors. We serve the partners and loved ones of those addicted, helping them find their voices and reclaim their lives through addiction and trauma treatment. We serve the couples and families harmed by addiction and betrayal to discover new ways to live in freedom and intimacy.
Groups
Daring Ventures Groups offer expert-guided, evidence-based support for healing from addiction, trauma, and co-occurring challenges. Led by clinicians and coaches specifically trained in group work, each group provides a safe, connected community for processing, growth, and transformation. With in-person, online, and hybrid options, delivered through secure, HIPAA-compliant platforms, you can access the support you need in the format that fits your life.
Elite Care
I work with high-performing individuals and couples — celebrities, athletes, executives, thought leaders — who are navigating the fallout of betrayal and complex relational trauma. This work is private, tailored, and structured to match the gravity of what’s at stake.
