Specialized Counseling for Intimate Relationships

Couples Intensive Therapy

A focused, in-depth journey toward transformation.

 

Sometimes, weekly therapy just isn’t enough. That’s where Intensive Couples Therapy comes in—a structured, immersive approach that helps you pause the chaos and dive deeply into healing, growth, and reconnection. These five-day intensives are ideal for couples dealing with addiction recovery, betrayal trauma, emotional abuse, disconnection, or high-conflict dynamics—and for those who want to build intimacy, emotional safety, and trust with intention.

 

Our work spans five focused days and is heavily informed by the Gottman Method, experiential techniques, and systemic insight.

 

Level One – Foundation Day (1 day):

• Begin with building safety and clarity: create a genogram, explore personal values, and take an individual and shared relationship history.

• Engage in Gottman assessments to clarify strengths and struggles.

• Focus on building friendship, admiration, and emotional connection as a foundation for lasting repair.

 

Level Two – Conflict and Communication (2 days):

• Learn to identify and overcome the Four Horsemen of disconnection: criticism, defensiveness, contempt, and stonewalling.

• Explore how your nervous systems respond to conflict (fight, flight, freeze, fawn, or flop) and learn tools for regulation and repair.

• Practice healthy conflict resolution, compromise, teamwork, and accepting influence from one another to create a more collaborative relationship.

 

Level Three – Intimacy and Meaning Making (2 days):

• Deepen emotional intimacy and physical intimacy.

• Explore the core values and dreams driving your most persistent and recurrent arguments.

• Create rituals of connection and shared meaning around love, parenting, sex, spirituality, work, finances, and fun.

Whether you're recovering from a crisis or simply ready to invest in your future, intensive therapy offers a powerful, supported path toward lasting change.
