Three Hour Intensive

For couples new to therapy, this half day process is an efficient starting place. We’ll complete an assessment that normally takes a month in regular weekly therapy. You’ll leave with a clearer sense of your relationship dynamic and the steps to a more connected and less conflictual place.

For couples previously engaged in therapy, a three hour intensive can serve as a “tune-up” in which we review and recommit to past gains.

Six Hour Intensive

This full day allows us time to develop a nuanced understanding of your situation, the impact on each of you, what you each need and long for, and explore new ways to communicate. You can expect to leave this day with some new understandings of yourself and your partner, and a felt sense of a different approach to your relationship.

A full day can also allow a couple already engaged in therapy to explore more deeply a specific issue or topic.

Two Day Intensive

This two day process (either done back-to-back or spread out over a week) can serve many purposes: a jumpstart to couples therapy that equals two to three months of weekly therapy, a place to approach difficult conversations with more spaciousness and care, and/or a process that allows you to review your dynamic, your individual emotions and attachment history, and to practice skills and conversations you can carry away to use together in your day to day lives.

Couples seeking therapy often feel some urgency to better understand and find relief from the distress and disconnection they are experiencing. For some couples, weekly therapy can feel like it’s not enough.

A couples therapy intensive offers an alternative. Instead of meeting only one hour at a time, intensives give us space for deeper, uninterrupted work. This extended time allows us to slow down, identify underlying patterns, explore ways to feel more calm and safe together, and experience steps towards repair and understanding.

An intensive can be a “jump start” to a longer therapy process, a “tune-up” for couples who have previously been in therapy and need short term support to navigate a stuck spot, or a “deep dive” for couples who crave a focused process for addressing a dynamic of ongoing conflict and disconnect.

After your intensive, I am available to connect you with additional resources, and/or to provide follow up appointments as desired.
