WhAT IS A marriage intensive?
A Marriage Intensive, or weekend therapy, offers a concentrated and condensed approach to couples therapy. With longer and immersive sessions spanning multiple days, it provides a short-term, results-oriented solution for high-conflict couples seeking quicker resolution. In private sessions, a skilled couples therapist covers essential aspects of the relationship, including conflict resolution, intimacy rejuvenation, boundary establishment, and more. The goal is to empower couples to navigate challenges, heal wounds, and create a stronger and more fulfilling partnership.
WHo's it for?
A Marriage Intensive is an ideal solution for high conflict couples, couples seeking rapid transformation in their relationships or those looking for weekend therapy. Whether you find yourself in a painful situation, yearn to acquire effective communication tools, or are on the brink of divorce, a marriage intensive allows you to delve deep into the underlying causes of your struggles while equipping you with the necessary tools to overcome obstacles and move forward with confidence.

How Does A marriage Intensive work?
First we’ll schedule a free 30-minute consultation. After it’s been determined that a marriage intensive is a good fit for, we’ll send you welcome packet to get you started!
step one
RELATIONSHIP ASSESSMENT
You’ll start the process prior to your in-person meeting by completing an extensive online assessment that provides your couples therapist an in-depth overview and analysis of your relationship challenges and strength.
step two
DAY ONE OF INTENSIVE
- You'll participate in a relationship deep dive (based on the Gottman Method) that explores expectations, history, how you communicate + manage conflict.
- You'll have an opportunity to meet with your clinician alone to explore your history, attachment styles, and limiting beliefs.
- You'll learn about your unique pattern of relating + establish a path to healing, closeness + connection.
- You'll be taught 3 powerful tools to help you communicate your way through the toughest problems.
step three
DAY TWO OF INTENSIVE
- You'll each be invited to bring up an issue you'd like resolved,
- You'll practice skills learned from Day 1 to understand and learn the true cause of your disagreements.
- You'll learn how to recognize new ways of identifying when your partner is in emotional overwhelm, and what you can do to bring the connection back.
- You'll be given a plan to rebuild trust, stay connected, reduce harmful outbursts, + recognize your conflict patterns.
step four
MOMENTUM
Following your intensive, it’s important to keep the momentum going. You’ll get an opportunity to give feedback + make a plan for what may still feel unfinished.
You’ll be encouraged to follow our weekly format for connection, as well as a 30-day connection challenge.
Many couples choose to continue follow-up sessions with their clinician to maintain their progress.

TIME REstricted

you want marriage maintenance
Your relationship is good…and you want to keep it that way + make sure nothing’s building up.
What's the difference between
Couples Therapy + A Marriage Intensive?
Marriage intensive or Weekend Therapy:
- Quicker and faster results. What you're doing in 2 days typically takes 4 months in couples therapy.
- Allows you to get more out of each hour vs. a typical 1-hour couples therapy session that requires a debrief of your week and a recap of your session.
- Allows for bigger issues to open up knowing that there's time to process and unpack each situation.
- Gets deeper and more vulnerable due to the extra time to process pain, belief, and resentments.
- Allows time to practice communication tools and new skills between sessions.
- Allows you more time to process your feelings from session to the next.
- Provides weekly or monthly accountability to ensure you don't back into old patterns.
- Helps you with new issues that might arise.
- Allows time for homework if that's what you choose.
Learning + Experiencing
You'll Walk Away With Tools For a Lifetime!
Each marriage intensive is uniquely designed for you and your partner depending on what your treatment goals are. Here are some common takeaways:
- How listen so your partner feels heard
- How to talk without triggering your partner
- The art of compromising
- How to repair when feelings are hurt
- How to rebuild trust and boundaries
- Identify resentments and go through the forgiveness process
- How to heal + forgive
- How to deepen your intimacy + increase affection
- How to create a vision for your future
Using the tools provided, we teach couples to not only communicate their way through every problem, but to also get to the root cause of their struggles so that they don’t continue having the problems after the marriage intensive is over.

Marriage intensives need to be cancelled 7 days prior to the start of the intensive for a full refund.
