Couples Weekend / Intensive Therapy
I understand how challenging it can be to find time for relationship growth amidst busy schedules, or when the right therapist feels out of reach. That's why I offer Couples Therapy Intensives – a dedicated space, free from daily distractions, where you and your partner can focus solely on each other.
I use Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT), a proven method to help you break free from negative patterns and build a stronger, more loving connection. My intensives, usually held Friday, Saturday, or Sunday with 4, 8, and 12 hour options, are perfect if you:
Struggle to fit in weekly therapy.
Travel frequently.
Manage a long-distance relationship.
Have limited access to qualified couples counselors.
Need enhanced privacy.
Want to see faster progress.
Are able to carve out some unique time for your relationship.
Eight hours is optimal, costing $1,200.
What's Included? This fee is a comprehensive package that includes my focused time as your couples therapist, pre-intensive prep work, in-session reviews, consultation calls, and collaboration with your ongoing therapist (if applicable).
Getting Started is Simple:
Review the information on this page.
Schedule a free consultation to discuss your goals.
We'll find a date that works, and I'll clarify my cancellation policy.
Complete the electronic paperwork and questionnaire I'll send.
I recommend reading Hold Me Tight by Dr. Sue Johnson beforehand.
A Typical Intensive: My experience has provided me with a framework that helps couples connect, process, and experience deeper understanding. I've provided a typical schedule to review.
Day One: (12:00 pm to 5:30 pm)
1. Couples Session to introduce EFT concepts.
2. Individual sessions to explore past attachment wounds.
3. Couples Session to use newfound understanding to navigate current struggles.
Day Two: (9:00 am to 12:30 pm)
Couples sessions to continue working on vulnerable communication, attachment and deepening connection. More time can be added.
After the Intensive: I strongly encourage continued work with a couples therapist (either me or someone else) to ensure lasting change. I’m happy to collaborate with your existing therapist. Remember, the follow-up care, with either your current therapist or myself, is not included in the initial fee.
Preparing for Your Intensive:
Retreat Mindset: Treat this as a special retreat, leaving work behind.
Reflect: Think about your feelings and goals for the relationship.
Prepare: Read Hold Me Tight.
Be Open: Come ready to explore with an open heart.
Be Patient: Allow yourselves grace as you navigate new emotions.
Communicate: Let me know how you're feeling; I'm here to help.
