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

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.
