What is Couples Therapy Intensive?

An intensive is an accelerated therapy process that takes place over the course of  1-2 days. It’s private (just for the two of you) and designed according to the individual needs of your relationship.

By setting aside a few days outside your normal routine, it allows you to more deeply focus on the areas that you want to improve, without distraction, and fully immerse yourselves in the therapy process. 

Couples Therapy Intensives can offer rapid progress and a transformational impact on your relationship. Attending a one or two day intensive is often the equivalent of several months of weekly therapy sessions. This accelerated approach can provide relief, understanding, and a path moving forward. This can feel especially helpful for couples that are seeking quicker results or are in higher distress about past or current hurts and ruptures in the relationship and feel more stressed or overwhelmed by a long therapy process of weekly sessions. 

• Are feeling stuck in their current therapy process.
• Are looking to move more quickly through difficult issues.
• Want to explore and address issues of affection and intimacy.
• Find it difficult to coordinate their schedules to attend weekly therapy.
• Are in long-distance relationships and not able to attend regular, in person therapy together.  
• Have occupations or life circumstances that make it difficult to attend weekly therapy.
• Can feel the relationship is strained due to children, work or other life stressors and want to focus on strengthening closeness and connection.
• Find weekly therapy doesn’t allow enough time to truly dive in and find clarity, understanding, and resolution. 

We have a basic structured schedule but adjust it according to the needs of the couple.  An intensive gives us the option to meet for longer periods of time (since we are not working off of a 50 minute session) and also to collaborate together on when to take breaks and how much time is needed for breaks as we go.
