Relationship Intensives

A more intentional, focused path to healing and reconnection

Some relationships need more than an hour a week.

When patterns feel deeply rooted, conversations go in circles, or the distance between you feels harder to close, a more immersive approach can create the space needed for real change.

Relationship intensives are designed to offer that space which allows us to slow down, stay present with what matters, and move through patterns with care, depth, and intention.

A Different Kind of Experience

This is not simply more time…it’s a different way of working together.

Rather than revisiting the same concerns week after week, intensives allow us to:

  • Stay with important moments as they unfold

  • Gently interrupt patterns in real time

  • Create new ways of relating while you’re still in the experience together

This level of focus often leads to deeper understanding, meaningful shifts, and a clearer path forward.

When This Approach Is Most Helpful

Intensives are especially supportive for couples who are:

  • Feeling stuck despite previous therapy

  • Navigating betrayal or a significant rupture

  • Experiencing high-conflict or recurring cycles

  • Feeling emotionally disconnected or distant

  • Wanting to make meaningful progress more quickly

  • Ready to approach their relationship in a more intentional way

    Intensive Options

Focused Couples Intensive (2.5 Hours)

What’s Included with Each Option

Your intensive experience is carefully structured to support both depth and safety.

It includes:

  • A pre-intensive consultation to understand your relationship and goals

  • A comprehensive, research-based relationship assessment to identify strengths and areas of growth

  • A customized plan for your time together

  • Guided, structured sessions with intentional pacing and breaks

  • Real-time support through difficult or vulnerable moments

  • Clear insights, direction, and next steps for moving forward

What We’ll Focus On

While every intensive is tailored, our work often centers around:

  • Understanding the patterns that keep you feeling stuck

  • Slowing down conflict and increasing emotional safety

  • Rebuilding trust after rupture or betrayal

  • Strengthening communication and emotional connection

  • Creating a more intentional and secure relationship dynamic

A Thoughtful Investment in Your Relationship

Intensives are designed for couples who are ready to be engaged in the process and open to looking beneath the surface of their patterns.

While the investment is greater upfront, many couples find they are able to create the kind of progress that might otherwise take months of weekly sessions.

This approach offers the opportunity to step out of your day-to-day environment and focus fully on your relationship with support, structure, and care.

After Your Intensive

Some couples choose to continue with follow-up sessions to support ongoing growth, while others leave with a renewed sense of clarity and direction.

We’ll talk through what makes the most sense for you so that you feel supported beyond our time together.

Is This the Right Next Step?

If you’re feeling unsure whether an intensive or ongoing sessions would be the best fit, we can talk through your options together.

The first step is a brief consultation so we can better understand what you’re navigating and recommend the right structure for your needs.

When an Intensive May Not Be the Best Fit

While relationship intensives can be a powerful and meaningful experience, they are not the right approach for every situation.

This work is most effective when both partners are open and willing to engage in the process.

An intensive may not be the best fit if:

  • One partner is not willing to participate or feels pressured to attend

  • There is active deception or ongoing betrayal that has not yet been disclosed

  • Either partner is seeking immediate answers about whether to stay or leave without engaging in the process

  • There are concerns related to safety, including emotional or physical harm

  • One or both partners are not ready to explore their own role in the relationship dynamic

In these situations, a different level of support or a different pace of therapy may be more appropriate.

If you’re unsure, we can talk through what you’re navigating and help you determine the best next step.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • If you feel like you’re having the same conversations over and over without real resolution, or that weekly sessions haven’t created the shift you were hoping for, an intensive may be a better fit.

    Intensives are especially helpful when there’s a desire for deeper work, more time, and meaningful progress without the stop and start of traditional therapy.

    If you’re unsure, we can talk through your situation together and decide what makes the most sense.

  • Not exactly.

    While intensives do involve extended time together, they are structured differently than weekly sessions. We’re able to stay with important moments as they unfold, gently guide you through patterns in real time, and create space for deeper understanding and repair.

    This often allows for more meaningful progress than spreading sessions out over time.

  • That’s a very normal concern.

    Intensives are intentionally paced with breaks and guided support throughout. You won’t be pushed beyond what feels manageable, and part of the work is helping you stay grounded even in difficult moments.

    The goal is not to overwhelm, but to create a safe space where important work can happen at a pace that still feels supportive.

  • Not at all.

    While some couples come in during a period of high distress, others choose intensives because they want to be more intentional about their relationship or make progress more efficiently.

    You don’t have to wait until things feel urgent to benefit from this kind of work.

  • Intensives are often helpful for:

    • Repeated conflict or communication breakdowns

    • Emotional disconnection

    • Betrayal or trust repair

    • Intimacy and closeness concerns

    • Long-standing relational patterns

    Each intensive is tailored to your specific dynamic and goals.

  • Yes.

    Part of the process includes helping you understand your patterns and giving you clear direction for how to move forward. While the work is deeper than just learning tools, you will leave with greater clarity and a sense of what to do next.

  • Some couples choose to continue with follow-up sessions to support ongoing growth, while others feel they’ve gained what they needed from the intensive experience.

    We’ll talk through next steps together so you feel supported moving forward.

  • Intensives are considered a specialized service and are not typically covered by insurance.

    However, we can discuss options for ongoing sessions if you are hoping to use insurance for continued care.

  • The best place to begin is with a brief consultation. This allows us to understand what you’re navigating and recommend the right structure for your needs.
