Couples Therapy Intensives 

Your relationship matters—but so does your time

A focused, goals-driven couples counseling experience for professionals who want more clarity and less conflict—without waiting weeks to get there.

What is a Couples Therapy Intensive?

A couples intensive is a private, extended form of therapy— typically 1-2 days to give you and your partner uninterrupted time to focus on your marriage without the distractions. Intensives give you the time and space to work on communication and reconnection.

Unlike weekly sessions, intensives allow you to have:

  • A trained and dedicated couples therapist supporting you all day.

  • Additional time to process and heal old hurts.

  • More time to practice healthy communication skills

  • Get to meaningful change in a shorter period of time.

Imagine getting three months of therapy in two days

This is for you if…

  • You and your partner are feeling stuck in cycles of conflict and disconnection

  • You want go to therapy but your schedule demands make it challenging to commit weekly sessions.

  • Your marriage is on the brink of divorce and you need help in getting your relationship back on track.

  • You want to recover from an affair

What to Expect from a Couples Intensive

Our work is intentional and grounded in the powerful interventions of Emotionally Focused Therapy ( EFT) and Relational Life Therapy ( RLT).

Each intensive includes:

  • Time to assess and share your strengths, struggles and relationship goals.

  • I’ll provide direct, compassionate feedback on how to shift criticism to requests and speaking from a place of deeper emotion and vulnerability.

  • One Day Intensive for gaining clarity and understanding of why you get stuck in conflict

  • Two Day Intensive for deeper exploration, healing and practicing skills.

  • You’ll be given resources and tools to use after your intensive.

You are interested but have a few more questions about couples intensives

  • One-Day Intensives are best for couples who want a couples therapist to assess them and provide some direct feedback on how they can communicate better.

    Two-Day Intensives are best for couples with serious concerns about their marriage and really need someone to sit and support them through betrayals, longstanding pain and disconnection.

  • Here is a sample schedule. Intensives are tailored to meet your needs.

    Morning (9am-12pm): We start with a 60-minute conjoint session and then 30-45 minutes for a 1:1 session with each partner.

    Lunch Break (12pm-2pm)

    Afternoon (2pm-4pm): continue with conjoint sessions. You and your partner will learn how to communicate with love, respect, and vulnerability. You will get feedback and guidance from your therapist.

  • Here is the typical schedule for a two-day intensive, however, schedule may vary slightly.

    DAY 1

    Morning 9am-12pm: 60-minute conjoint session and then a 45-minute 1:1 session with each partner.

    12-2pm: We break for lunch

    Afternoon (2pm-4pm):

    DAY 2

    9am-11am: Deepening emotional connection and working on repair and rebuilding trust.

    11am-1pm Lunch break

    1pm-3pm: Continue processing and practicing the art of reconnection, healthy communication and repair.

    3pm-3:30pm: Post-intensive action plan

    • From my experience I see partners are able to achieve their goals faster than 50/60-minute sessions.

    • Other couples have a lot to share with me, so they really value the extra time.

    • Couples report a significant decrease in their arguments after participating in an intensive.

  • Intensives are good fits for couple willing and open to making changes with themselves and their relationship. Couples who are open to the process report finding the therapy valuable and beneficial to their marriage.

    Intensives is not a good fit if there is:

    • Serious untreated mental health issues

    • If there is an active affair

    • On-going physical abuse or fear of physical abuse

    • If one Partner does not want to work on the relationship

  • We will create a post-intensive action plan which may include attending a post-intensive session(s) to maintain progress. Other couples may be referred to a clinician for continued support.

  • The cost of intensives has to be paid in full prior to services being rendered. However, I may be able to offer some alternatives such as breaking up the intensive price into 4-payments (25% non-refundable deposit and three installments)

    Send me a message and let’s see what we can do!

  • Yes, most of my experience is working with same-sex couples and couples with at least one partner openly identifying as a trans person. I am as a cis-gendered person in a heterosexual relationship. but it’s my deep morale and spiritual belief that all people are deserving of love and care.
