Therapy Intensives
for Couples & Families
Heal Your Relationship in One Transformative Weekend
A personalized, private Couples Intensive designed to help you reconnect, repair trust, and rebuild your partnership—without waiting months for change.
A Couples Intensive is a focused, accelerated therapeutic experience that condenses months of weekly therapy into a single, powerful session or weekend.
Instead of spreading small breakthroughs across several weeks, you and your partner get uninterrupted time to explore patterns, resolve core issues, and create a clear path forward.
This is not a retreat or a vacation.
It’s strategic, structured, and personalized therapy designed to bring meaningful change quickly.
Why Intensives Work?
Traditional weekly therapy often moves slowly due to limited time and interruptions.
A Couples Intensive allows:
-
Extended time for deeper processes
-
Faster identification of negative cycles
-
Space for emotionally corrective experiences
-
Immediate implementation of new skills
-
Tangible breakthroughs in real time
Couples often describe their intensive as the moment everything finally “clicked.”
A Couples Intensive is ideal for couples who:
-
Want to reconnect after distance or disconnection
-
Are recovering from betrayal or breaches of trust
-
Feel stuck in negative communication loops
-
Are considering separation and want clarity
-
Desire fast, focused progress
-
Have busy schedules that make weekly therapy difficult
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.
