COUPLES INTENSIVES
Private 2 day sessions including you, your partner and your specialized couple's therapist.
Intensives are for couples who are experiencing moderate to significant relationship distress, feel stuck in repeating patterns, or want to deepen connection in a concentrated and accelerated format.
We work with partners facing challenges such as:
- ​Escalated conflict or frequent arguments
- Emotional disconnection or lack of intimacy
- Recovering from betrayal or infidelity
- High levels of negative sentiment override (persistent criticism, defensiveness, or withdrawal)
- A desire to repair trust, rebuild friendship, or strengthen their bond
Structured and research-based, this is an accelerated couples therapy format grounded in the Gottman Method - a gold standard methodology in couples repair and therapy work . Our intensives condense months of weekly therapy into two or three immersive days. The work is targeted, practical, and designed to create lasting change.

WHO & WHAT
FORMAT
Day 1: Understanding Your Relationship. We begin by developing a complete picture of your relationship with the comprehensive Gottman Relationship Assessment completed prior to arrival.
In-depth sessions exploring friendship, conflict styles, intimacy, dreams, and challenges. Individual meetings with each partner. A customized roadmap created by your therapist during your lunch break. Feedback session with specific recommendations and next steps. By the end of Day 1, you will have a clear understanding of your relationship dynamics and a path forward. Progress made on Day 1 is equivalent to 4–6 weeks of weekly couples therapy.
Day 2/3: Mastery + Strategies for Change are presented with a thorough understanding of your relationship, the following day(s) focus on learning and practicing new skills.
A key component is state-dependent learning: the process of acquiring new tools in the same types of situations where you’ve historically struggled. You’ll be guided through familiar gridlocked moments—only this time with structure, support, and proven interventions.
