Couples Intensives
Therapy for a stronger bond that’s tailored, focused, and effective.
Faster progress with total focus.
In just one focused weekend you and your partner can begin to rebuild trust, restore closeness and create a space for deeper understanding. You don’t have to stay stuck in disconnection or pain. Whether you are facing a crisis, feeling overwhelmed or just can’t communicate anymore, a focused weekend gives your relationship the attention it deserves—without waiting months.
Intensives are also ideal for those entering into a marriage or new commitment, seeking a meaningful tune-up, or for strengthening bonds.
With an intensive planned session, you get focused attention, accelerated progress and tools for lasting change. Intensives have a general guideline and a process to them; however, they will be tailored to your needs.
By working with me, you get the expert and not just a workshop or a safe space to talk. You get an overview of the research, the core modules of Gottman Method therapy, the mindset for couples work where prioritization of your relationship is everything, and a tool kit that supports the sessions.
Utilizing the Gottman method as our therapeutic scaffolding, I will provide concentrated therapy to address your relationship more quickly. The intensive typically spans 1 to 3 days and allows you to dive deeply into your relationship dynamics with support and sustained guidance.
My integrated approach draws on deep expertise in attachment-based theories and interventions that restore reassurance, safety, and the feeling that your partner is there for you and you matter.
Couples Intensive Therapy offers a focused opportunity to reconnect more deeply and see meaningful progress faster than traditional weekly sessions. In just one powerful weekend, you and your partner will have the space, tools, and support to create real change.
Whether you use it as a fresh start, a one-time intervention, or as a jumpstart to ongoing therapy, this immersive experience meets you where you are.
The benefits of couples intensives include:
-
The immersive nature of a couples intensive allows for rapid progress. By dedicating several consecutive hours to therapy, couples can address multiple issues in a short period, making significant strides in understanding and resolving conflicts.
-
The extended time spent in therapy sessions helps couples explore and reconnect on a deeper emotional level. The intensive format encourages vulnerability and honesty, which are crucial for rebuilding trust and intimacy. Sex and intimacy can be addressed through skill and comfort.
-
A Gottman Couples Intensive begins with a thorough assessment of the relationship. This includes a 400-questions assessment, individual interviews, questionnaires, and observation of couple interactions. This comprehensive evaluation provides a clear picture of the relationship’s strengths and areas needing improvement, allowing the therapist to tailor interventions effectively.
-
Couples learn practical skills and strategies to manage conflict, improve communication, and enhance their friendship and intimacy. These skills are based on the “Sound Relationship House” theory, which emphasizes building a solid foundation of trust, commitment, and positive interactions.
-
The intensive format offers couples focused, undivided attention from their therapist. This personalized approach ensures that the therapy is specifically tailored to address the unique challenges and dynamics of each couple’s relationship.
-
By the end of the intensive, couples leave with a concrete action plan and the tools necessary to maintain the progress they have made. The skills and insights gained during the intensive are designed to be applied in everyday life, promoting long-term relationship health.
