Couples Weekend Intensive
Sometimes weekly therapy just isn’t enough—especially when you feel stretched to your limit and uncertain about your relationship’s future. That’s when Intensive Couples Therapy can make all the difference. Rather than meeting once a week, intensives offer you and your partner uninterrupted time and attention—usually two to three consecutive days—to step away from daily distractions and address your relationship’s challenges head-on.
More Therapy, Less time
WHO IT’S FOR
Couples Weekend Intensives are for couples who want to work on their relationship without having to “start and stop”. This approach can be especially beneficial for couples who:
• Struggle to fit regular therapy into a packed schedule
• Are dealing with a crisis, like frequent conflict or the pain of infidelity
• Need to make an important decision soon and don’t want to wait months
• Feel your relationship has faded into the background and want to rekindle connection
• Are considering separation or divorce and want thoughtful time together to explore your options
These intensives create a caring environment where you can work through pressing issues and give your relationship the attention—and hope—it deserves.

HOW IT WORKS
Couples' weekend intensives offer a structured and focused approach to relationship work over 2-3 consecutive days, usually a weekend, using the Gottman Method and Collaborative Couples Therapy approach. These sessions enable partners to dive deeply into their issues without the disruptions and frustration often experienced with the 'start and stop' nature of weekly sessions.
In general, we’ll meet for 5-8 hours a day with breaks built in for lunch and reflection.
Prior to our initial session, you will receive a comprehensive assessment to complete. On the first day, I will meet with you both as a couple and individually to develop a detailed understanding of your unique experiences and perspectives. This thorough evaluation will guide the structure of our second day, which will incorporate skill-building activities, deep conversations, and evidence-based interventions to facilitate meaningful change within your relationship.
WHEN & WHERE
You can choose the option that works best for you—either an in-person intensive at my Sanford, NC office or online sessions from the comfort of your home. Many couples therapists find that in-person intensives are most impactful, but we also know online sessions can be just as meaningful, especially when convenience matters. Both formats are thoughtfully designed to support your relationship and foster growth.
Intensive couples therapy tends to be scheduled over a weekend (Fri-Sat/Sun); however, if you prefer to meet during the week, that can be arranged.
