Healing Through Connection
In 2014, a shared vision brought Nikki and Kevin together: to revolutionize the way families heal. With over 40 years of collective experience, they saw that the best therapy had limits and sought to transcend them. Thus, they channeled their expertise into the creation of the Integrated Attachment Model™, a beacon of hope for those entangled in the complex web of familial and personal challenges.
At the Family Intensive Institute, we understand that family life can be both rewarding and challenging. Our unique approach to family therapy is rooted in compassion, understanding, and evidence-based strategies to help you navigate the ups and down and foster a strong, harmonious family dynamic.

Our Approach
Kevin and Nikki believe in seeing beyond behavior to the underlying needs, fostering a therapeutic environment where every family member is seen, heard, and valued. Their approach is not just about resolving conflicts; it’s about understanding the language of attachment and nurturing the bonds that define family.
With the Integrated Attachment Model™, Nikki & Kevin have established a framework that empowers caregivers and care receivers alike, instilling in them the wisdom and tools to interact in a manner that promotes healing and fulfills needs with intention and understanding.
The History of Family Intensive Institute
The history of Family Intensive Institute is rooted in a deep-seated conviction that healing is not just possible but inherent within every family structure. Observing the remarkable efforts families exert in pursuit of wholeness, and acknowledging the immense challenges they face, has shaped our mission. We've seen firsthand how traditional paths to recovery, often involving separation and substantial financial and emotional investment, can strain the very bonds they aim to restore. This insight led us to envision a different approach—one that keeps families together, supported by the nurturing environment of their homes and communities.
At the heart of our institute lies a commitment to compassion, empathy, and the unwavering belief that every family holds the potential to overcome adversity. Our foundational principles are not just theoretical; they are the lived experiences of countless families who have walked through our doors seeking guidance. Our methodology is not one-size-fits-all; it is a bespoke tapestry woven from the unique stories and challenges each family brings to us.
Through our holistic approach, we delve into the intricate dynamics of family relationships, addressing the underlying needs and intentions behind each interaction. Our mission is to illuminate the path to mutual understanding, fostering a sanctuary where love and unity flourish. The history of Family Intensive Institute is not merely a timeline of events; it is a legacy of transformed lives, rebuilt relationships, and the enduring belief in the power of families to heal together.
