Couples Intensive  

This specialized couples therapy program is designed for one couple to work exclusively with an Onsite therapist for four days. 

The Couple Intensive is created to meet the specific needs of the couple based on telephone interviews and information obtained from their application. Within the context of this program, couples will have the opportunity to look deep within their relationship to explore, identify, and move beyond underlying patterns of conflict, unresolved problems, as well as walls of fear and defensiveness. Couples decide what needs to stay the same and what needs to change in the relationship. 

As partners, you collaboratively decide how you want to move forward in your relationship grounded in intimacy, trust, and respect. You’ll leave with the tools you need to truly see, hear, and create space for one another.
