Therapy Intensives
for Couples & Families

Create Safety. Restore Connection. Strengthen Your Bond.

When talking isn’t working anymore and the same fights keep looping weekly therapy can feel too slow. A couples therapy intensive offers a focused, immersive experience designed to help you break negative patterns, rebuild emotional safety, and reconnect in a meaningful way.

In this intensive, you and your partner step away from daily distractions to do deep, guided work together over an extended session or series of sessions. We identify the cycles that keep you stuck, uncover the unmet attachment needs beneath the conflict, and help you learn new ways to reach for each other with clarity and compassion.

This is not about blame or “fixing” one partner. It’s about understanding what’s happening between you and learning how to respond differently so both of you feel seen, secure, and valued.

Couples intensives are ideal for partners who feel disconnected, overwhelmed by conflict, navigating trust injuries, or at a crossroads and needing clarity. Many couples experience meaningful shifts in a short amount of time and leave with practical tools, deeper insight, and renewed hope for their relationship.

If you’re ready to stop surviving your relationship and start repairing it, a couples therapy intensive may be the next right step.

Why Intensives Work?

Traditional weekly therapy often moves slowly due to limited time and interruptions.


A Couples Intensive allows:

  • Uninterrupted time to go deep and address the real issues—not just the weekly crisis

  • Breaks stuck patterns fast by working with the cycle as it happens

  • Builds emotional safety quickly so conversations don’t spiral

  • Focuses on the relationship, not blame

  • Creates meaningful change in less time than traditional therapy

  • Gives you tools you can use immediately at home

  • Helps you move forward with clarity, together

Couples often describe their intensive as the moment everything finally “clicked.”

If you’re ready to break the cycle and reconnect, schedule a couples intensive consultation today.

 

We’ll help you determine whether this focused approach is the right next step for your relationship.

The Intensive Process

The Assessment

Each individual in a couple will complete an online intake from the Gottman Relationship Assessment that I will assign. Those in families will only complete the individual intake paperwork I have sent. I will also send individual paperwork to assist with some of the individualizing components prior to our interview. The intake interview will be between 50-90 minutes. This interview will be held at least 1 week prior to the intensive and can be done virtually.

The Intensive

We will begin with discussing the specialized goals that have been derived from the intake to ensure that everyone is on the same path and then we will begin. There will be approximately 2 1/2-3 hours of therapy before lunch however there will be breaks in between as well for stretching and drinks. This will continue after lunch for any full day intensives.

After the Intensive

You will be given a packet of take home worksheets to assist with interventions that have been worked on during our time together. We will schedule one follow up session within two weeks following our intensive to allow for a final wrap up post intensive.

Who Can an Intensive Help?

  • Hopelessness * Are you stuck in perpetual arguments? Do you believe things will never change?

  • Sexual or Romantic Rut? Do you want to rekindle some romance, intimacy, joy? Are you afraid you just aren't sure how to initiate anymore? It doesn't have to be awkward.

  • Emotional disconnection* Do you not feel as though you have conflict but maybe you feel more like roommates?

  • Maybe feeling like you are walking on eggshells and can’t get through to one another? Do you want to learn how to problem solve, address conflict, and communicate without defensiveness, judgment, or blame?

  • Are you navigating major life transitions? This could be anything from adjusting to marriage, blending families, having kids, a new diagnosis, job changes, moving, a deployment, etc.

  • Has there been a betrayal of trust? This may be an affair or maybe it was decision that was made without talking it through together.

  • Exploring Polyamory or ENM? Do you need assistance in trying to find the next steps, having discussions about betrayals, boundaries, and trust among other things?

  • Pre-marriage*Whether this is your first marriage or your fifth. Blending a family can be tough.

  • Deployment Preparation* Are you navigating a military relationship? As a new military partner or even as someone who has been through a number of deployments? Get a program specialized just for those circumstances.
