Couples Therapy Intensives
Focused, immersive relationship work—designed for meaningful change.
Couples Therapy Intensives are extended, highly focused therapy experiences designed for couples who want to make real progress without committing to months of weekly sessions. Rather than spreading work out over time, intensives allow us to address core relationship patterns in a concentrated, intentional way—building momentum for lasting change.
This format is especially helpful for couples who are motivated, open to hearing one another, and willing to lean into the relationship, even when the work feels challenging.
What Makes an Intensive Different
Extended, uninterrupted therapy time
Intensives offer five hours spaced over two consecutive days, allowing us to move beyond surface-level conversations and into deeper, more impactful work.Structured, goal-directed sessions
Each intensive is thoughtfully planned and guided, with clear goals, focused interventions, and actionable exercises tailored to your relationship.Personalized preparation
Couples begin with a comprehensive assessment process, which include questionnaires and pre-intensive reflections. This allows the work to be customized to your specific strengths, challenges, and goals—so we use our time together effectively. Pre-intensive work should be completed one week prior to your session.Real-time skill building and practice
Rather than just talking about change, couples actively practice communication, emotional regulation, and connection skills during the intensive, with support and guidance in the moment.Momentum for quicker change
The immersive format reduces distractions, builds emotional continuity, and helps couples break entrenched patterns more efficiently than weekly therapy alone.Convenient and efficient scheduling
Intensives are designed for busy couples—less ongoing weekly commitment, with meaningful work done all at once.A shared, transformative experience
Many couples describe intensives as a turning point in their relationship, offering clarity, direction, and renewed hope.
What Couples Can Expect
This work is grounded in evidence-informed couples therapy approaches (ie. Gottman Method, Relational Life Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy) and tailored to each relationship. Couples who are willing to listen, take responsibility, and engage fully often experience noticeable improvement within 2–3 months, with some experiencing shifts even sooner.
Couples Therapy Intensives can help partners:
Improve communication and reduce recurring conflict
Break painful or stuck interaction patterns
Increase emotional safety, trust, and understanding
Rebuild intimacy and connection
Develop clear, practical tools for navigating future challenges
Post-Intensive Support
Personalized take-home tools and exercises
Clear next steps for integrating insights into daily life
Optional follow-up sessions to reinforce progress and support continued growth
Who Intensives Are Best For?
Couples therapy intensives are best suited for couples who are committed to the process, emotionally stable enough for deeper work, and motivated to improve the relationship. They are not a quick fix—but they are a powerful, focused way to create meaningful movement forward in your relationship and connection. We're here to help you make an impact that lasts.
