Couples Intensive Therapy
Sometimes, your relationship needs more than an hour a week.
We offer Couples Intensive Therapy, also known as Marathon Couples Therapy, for couples who are ready to invest deeply in their relationship. Whether you're recovering from betrayal, struggling to communicate, or simply feel disconnected, our two-day intensives offer the space and support needed for real, lasting change.
What is Couples Intensive Therapy?
Unlike traditional weekly sessions, a couples intensive is a focused, extended experience that allows you and your partner to dive deeply into the heart of your relationship challenges. Our intensives are conducted virtually over two days (Friday and Saturday), with approximately 5 hours of therapy each day.
What to Expect
Each Couples Intensive is fully customized to your relationship. Over the course of two days, we’ll work through the issues that are holding you back, using research-based methods including the Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Sex Therapy techniques.
You’ll receive:
10 hours of live, personalized couples therapy
A pre-intensive questionnaire to help us identify key focus areas
Real-time skill-building and guided exercises
Tools to improve communication, intimacy, and emotional connection
A post-intensive plan for continued growth and integration
All sessions are held virtually, so you can participate from the comfort and privacy of your home—no travel or hotel costs required.
