"Nothing is more important in our lives than our relationships. A great relationship boosts your immune system, opens your heart, and keeps you vital and creative."
Terry Real

Intensives

What are Intensives?

Intensives are a powerful alternative to the traditional model of weekly therapy. Instead of meeting for 50-minute sessions over many months, we work together in a concentrated, in-depth way over one or two consecutive days to accelerate significant relational breakthroughs.

Using Relational Life Therapy (RLT) principles, we follow a clear path together to address setbacks and relational dynamics as they show up, rather than waiting for a session a week away.

Is an Intensive the Right Fit for You?

Intensives are designed for us to dive deep into therapeutic work without the start-stop limitations of weekly sessions. This format is a great opportunity to tackle issues like disconnection, power struggles, and unresolved trauma head-on.

This is perfect for you if:

  • You have a demanding schedule: You struggle to commit to weekly therapy due to work, travel, or lifestyle demands.
  • You feel "stuck": You’ve identified unhelpful patterns that you’ve struggled to shift with standard therapy.
  • You are at a crossroads or in crisis: You are facing a major life transition or a personal/relational crisis and need focused, immediate support.
  • You want to heal in a safe container: You are ready for us to explore deep trauma or emotional wounds in a space that offers continuity and containment.
  • You want to see RLT in action: You want to experience how the Relational Life Therapy (RLT) framework can spark rapid, meaningful connection and understanding between you.
  • You are ready for an intervention: You want a deep dive that fundamentally shifts your emotional connection and understanding of your partner.

Why Intensives?

Experience Validates It: Results are often truly transformative. Over these focused days, we gain the kind of deep insight into what’s not working and start doing the relational work needed to facilitate lasting connection and intimacy.

Because Couples Prefer It: Couples consistently describe how these sessions shift the needle in a way that weekly therapy simply cannot. 

Research Backs It Up: Research consistently shows that intensive couple therapy leads to deeper, more enduring change compared to weekly sessions. Immersive work helps couples break destructive patterns faster, stay engaged longer, and create the necessary momentum for change.

An Investment in Your Future The cost of an intensive is comparable to roughly three months of weekly sessions—but most couples prefer to accelerate the process and start living that change now. This is a commitment not just to your relationship, but to your long-term emotional well-being and a more connected future.

"In an intensive format, the 'ticking clock' of a 50-minute session is removed.
This allows couples to bypass their usual defenses and reach a level of vulnerability
where true neurobiological and relational repair can actually take place."
