One Day. One Weekend. One Turning Point. Intensives.

Sometimes the relationship doesn’t need a slow drip of change—it needs a breakthrough.

You’re carrying too much, walking on eggshells, or stuck in the same painful dynamic. You’ve tried talking about it, maybe even done some therapy before. But something still feels off. You’re exhausted from circling the same issues and longing for something that brings real clarity and movement.

That’s where therapy intensives come in.

Intensives are deep, focused therapy sessions offered in a condensed format—one day, one weekend, or a series of extended sessions designed to create momentum where it matters most. Whether you're reeling from betrayal, preparing for a disclosure, navigating years of distance, or on the brink of divorce, intensives are structured to bring your relationship into the light and offer a path forward.

What Is a Therapy Intensive?

A therapy intensive is a concentrated form of counseling where we compress weeks or even months of work into a single, extended timeframe. Instead of spreading sessions out over several weeks, you and your partner step away from everyday distractions and immerse yourselves in intentional, uninterrupted relational work.

Think of it like pressing pause on life so you can focus fully on your healing, clarity, and connection.

Depending on your goals, an intensive might include:

  • A full therapeutic disclosure weekend

  • Gottman Method couples therapy with assessment and feedback

  • Betrayal trauma or sex addiction recovery mapping

  • Decision-making or discernment counseling

  • Emotional reconnection after years of distance

  • Pre-marital deep dives or conflict resolution work

  • Sex therapy to address long-standing concerns

Whether it’s a one-day reset or a multi-day rebuilding, we tailor the format to meet your specific needs and goals.

Who Are Intensives For?

Intensives are especially helpful for couples who:

  • Feel stuck or overwhelmed in weekly therapy

  • Are in crisis and need immediate structure

  • Have limited time and want focused, accelerated support

  • Need to address a major issue like infidelity, addiction, or emotional disengagement

  • Live out of town and want access to a specialized therapist

  • Are preparing for or recovering from a full disclosure

  • Want to reconnect emotionally and physically with support

They are also a powerful option for individual clients doing focused trauma recovery or relationship healing.

Why Intensives Work

There’s something transformative about setting aside time, space, and energy to focus solely on your relationship. Without the pressure to “wrap up” in 50 minutes or wait another week to finish a conversation, therapy becomes more expansive. You can go deeper, stay longer in the work, and build momentum that carries into the days and weeks that follow.

Intensives allow for:

  • Deeper emotional processing without interruption

  • Structured progress on specific goals

  • Real-time feedback with room for practice and reflection

  • Integration of multiple modalities like Gottman, EMDR, or schema therapy

  • Hope and direction even in complex or uncertain situations

Couples often leave with a renewed sense of clarity—whether that means moving toward healing together, gaining closure, or identifying next steps with honesty and care.

When You Need More Than a Session

There are seasons in life when once-a-week therapy just isn’t enough. Maybe the hurt is too deep. Maybe the timeline is urgent. Or maybe you’ve simply reached the point where you’re ready to face the truth, fight for connection, or choose a new path with integrity.

An intensive gives you the space to do just that—with a trained guide, a custom structure, and a clear plan.

You don’t have to keep surviving your relationship. There is a way forward.

If you’re ready to pause the chaos, step into focused care, and find a turning point that lasts—reach out. We’d be honored to create an intensive that meets you exactly where you are.
