Intensives

Some conversations need more space than weekly therapy allows.

Make meaningful progress in your relationship without waiting weeks between sessions.

Couples Intensives offer focused, uninterrupted time to address what is not working and begin moving forward more quickly. Traditional weekly therapy can be helpful, but for some couples, it can feel slow or difficult to maintain momentum between sessions. Intensives provide a more focused, structured format that allows us to spend extended time working through the patterns affecting your relationship. This approach is designed for couples who want to address a specific issue, reconnect, or gain clarity more efficiently and intentionally.

When Intensives May Be Helpful

You may benefit from an intensive if:

  • You feel stuck in the same patterns and want to make faster progress

  • Communication breaks down quickly or becomes unproductive

  • You are navigating a specific issue and want focused time to work through it

  • Scheduling weekly sessions feels difficult or limiting

  • You want to reconnect without losing momentum between sessions

We begin with a structured, research-informed approach to understand your relationship dynamics. From there, we focus on:

  • Identifying patterns that keep you stuck

  • Improving communication and conflict management

  • Reducing reactivity during difficult conversations

  • Rebuilding connection and emotional safety

  • Developing practical tools you can continue using after the intensive

This work is grounded in the Gottman Method and designed to create meaningful, sustainable change.

What We’ll Focus On

What to Expect

Intensives are designed to be structured, collaborative, and paced to support both clarity and regulation. Sessions include guided conversations, skill-building, and time to pause and reset as needed.

Together, we will:

  • Slow down communication so both partners feel heard

  • Work through key areas of conflict or disconnection

  • Practice new ways of responding in real time

  • Create a clearer path forward for your relationship

Breaks are built in to support focus and prevent overwhelm, allowing you to stay engaged throughout the process.

For couples who prefer a more focused approach, this work can also be done as a half-day intensive to support faster progress.
