Couples Therapy Intensive
Do you ever feel like you and your partner are having the same argument over and over, with no real resolution?
Have you tried talking things out, but somehow end up feeling more misunderstood or disconnected?
Is your relationship weighed down by unspoken tension, hurt, or mistrust you can’t seem to move past?
A Transformative, Experiential Approach to Rebuilding Your Relationship.
Unlike traditional 50-minute talk therapy sessions, a Couples Therapy Intensive is not a passive or “sit-and-talk” experience. Instead of simply processing what’s wrong, this is an active and experiential process designed for couples ready to fully engage in meaningful change. You’ll participate in guided exercises, receive direct and intentional feedback, and practice new ways of communicating and connecting in real time. The extended format provides the time, structure, and space to deeply explore communication patterns, emotional triggers, and unmet needs. This format allows you to heal emotional wounds, rebuild trust, and move forward together with renewed clarity and connection.
What Is a Couples Therapy Intensive?
A Couples Therapy Intensive is a private, full-day (6-hour) relationship experience designed to help couples achieve meaningful progress in a short period of time. Think of it as several months of therapy condensed into one transformative day.
This focused experience provides uninterrupted time to:
Address core patterns that fuel conflict or emotional distance
Learn practical tools to improve communication and rebuild trust
Understand what’s happening in your relationship dynamic beneath the surface
Practice new skills with therapist support and feedback
Leave with a clear roadmap for continued growth and connection
Each intensive is customized for your specific goals, relationship history, and stage of change.
Why Choose a Couples Therapy Intensive?
Couples Therapy Intensives are ideal for those who are ready to commit to meaningful, results-driven change. Research shows that immersive formats can create faster and more sustainable outcomes than traditional weekly therapy sessions by maintaining momentum and allowing for deeper emotional processing.

Evidence-Based Approach
Our Couples Therapy Intensives combine work that is grounded in several research-based models that promote both individual and relational growth:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helps identify and reframe the thoughts and beliefs that fuel conflict.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Builds emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and mindfulness for calmer communication.
Motivational Interviewing (MI): Encourages openness to change and helps partners find internal motivation to improve the relationship.
The Developmental Model: Focuses on individual growth and differentiation within the relationship.
The Gottman Method: Uses evidence-based tools to enhance friendship, manage conflict, and build shared meaning.
You’ll receive direct, intentional feedback throughout the process. Our goal is not just to help you understand your patterns but to experience and practice new ways of relating that create safety, connection, and intimacy.
