Intensive Couples Therapy

Sometimes it’s not that you don’t want to work on your relationship-it’s that there hasn’t been enough space to really sit with it.

Conversations get cut off, things carry over week to week, and it can feel like you’re circling the same patterns without fully getting through them.

An intensive session creates the time and space to approach things differently and move through what’s been getting in the way.

Intensive couples therapy is a focused, extended format designed for times when it makes sense to dedicate more space and attention to your relationship.

While weekly therapy offers consistency and ongoing support, intensives create an opportunity to step out of your usual rhythm and engage in the work more fully over a shorter period of time together.

This format allows us to stay with important conversations, understand patterns more clearly, and begin working through them without the natural pauses that come with week-to-week sessions.

Sessions are tailored to your needs and may take place over 1–3 days, typically ranging from 6–18 hours of therapy.

Why Choose an Intensive?

  • More time to stay with important conversations without feeling cut off
  • The ability to work through patterns as they’re happening in real time
  • A focused environment without the interruptions of week-to-week scheduling
  • Space to address both immediate concerns and underlying dynamics

This May Be a Good Fit If You…

  • Have a schedule that makes weekly therapy difficult
  • Are traveling from outside the area
  • Are preparing for marriage or navigating a major transition
  • Have tried other approaches and are looking for something more

When Intensive Therapy May Not Be the Right Fit

There are some situations where a different level or type of care may be more appropriate. If any of these apply, reach out to Steve and he’ll help you toward the right next step.

  • Active substance abuse that is not currently being treated
  • Ongoing or escalating physical violence in the relationship
  • Untreated major mental health conditions that require stabilization first
  • Situations involving significant undisclosed information that one partner is not willing to bring into the work

What the Process Looks Like

Intensive therapy is structured but flexible, allowing us to understand your relationship, create a clear plan, and actively work through what matters most—all within a focused period of time.
