Couple Therapy Intensives

Couple Therapy Intensives.

What It Is:

  • Several months of weekly couple therapy condensed into a powerful 2-day weekend.

  • An in-person, private couple therapy “retreat” tailored to your unique relationship dynamics.

  • Concentrated time and space to facilitate meaningful breakthroughs in a short period.

  • Led by a highly experienced couple therapist certified in Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFT).

What You’ll Get Out of It:

  • 2 days of deep, focused work on your relationship, without the usual distractions of weekly couple therapy.

  • This isn't just talking about your issues - it's experiencing a shift in real-time.

  • You’ll have a clearer understanding of the “choreography” of your difficult relationship “dance.”

  • You’ll have concrete tools to navigate conflict and restore closeness in your relationship.

Who Is It For?

A couple therapy weekend may be right for you and your partner if:

  • You feel disconnected and long to reconnect with each other.

  • You get stuck in the same painful patterns and keep having the same arguments over and over?

  • You’ve been wanting to try couple therapy but logistics and busy schedules keep getting in the way of committing to a weekly schedule?

  • You are at the crossroads in your relationship and want clarity and healing.

  • You are both hurting and are seeking rapid change.

  • You prefer to meet in person face to face rather than virtually on a video platform.

What Your Work May Focus on:

  • Rebuilding connection away from distractions and interruptions of daily life.

  • Repairing and healing after infidelity and other trust issues.

  • Preparing for your wedding and wanting to focus on supporting each other before starting your life together.

  • Navigating separation or divorce.

  • Working through other stressful life situations.

What Will the Schedule Look Like:

I am happy to personalize start, break and end times. Here is a sample schedule:

  • One individual session with each partner

  • Break

Where Will We Meet:

  • Or if you would like to enjoy a destination location in DC, Maryland, or Virginia, away from distractions and interruptions of daily life enjoy local attractions during evenings and breaks, I am happy to discuss venue options with you.

How Much Will it Cost:

  • My rates reflect my many years of training and experience as well as my dedication to helping you achieve your goals and meaningful change. The actual fee depends on the location we would choose for the intensive.

I look forward scheduling a free 45-minute consultation with you if you are ready to invest in your relationship and are considering a 2-day Couple Therapy Intensive.
