Couples Therapy Intensives
Dive deeper and feel closer, faster.
Invest one weekend to create a healthier and more connected relationship.
Sound like you?
“Our connection is gone. We need to feel closer now.”
“This hurts too much. We don’t have time for months of therapy.”
“We’ve already been to therapy. We need something different.”
“We’re ready to dig deep, get to the root of our issues, and heal together.”
Repair past hurts and plan your future together.
When your relationship isn’t working, it impacts your whole life. Hitting another rough patch, repeating the same arguments, life transitions, attachment wounds, and trauma can cause unbearable pain in our intimate relationships. Imagine finally understanding why you both do what you do, experiencing deep empathy for the other person’s pain, taking ownership, changing patterns, and feeling a renewed sense of hope and connection in just 1-3 days.
Intensives are an increasingly popular way to accelerate your therapeutic journey so you can feel better faster. There’s no rule that says weekly therapy for months or years is the best or only option. Sometimes weekly therapy is a great fit and sometimes an intensive can do more for you in 1-3 days than months, or years, of therapy.
How do Couples Therapy Intensives help accelerate healing?
Depending on the issue, traditional 50 minute weekly sessions may not be enough to see the results you want.
Consider a typical 50 (or even 60) minute session:
10 min to check in and catch up since the last session
30-40 min to deep dive
10 min to wrap up at the end of the session
Assuming weekly sessions, this totals to only 2-3 hours per month of deep processing time.
Couples Therapy Intensives, on the other hand, allow you to spend more hours deeply processing issues and working through your concerns in one day. Intensives are equally effective online and in-person. Depending on where you live and your preferences, we can book your intensive fully online, in person, or a combination of both. If you’re interested in creating a customized Couples Therapy Intensive, please contact me. You’ll get a free 30 minute consultation to see if an intensive is a good fit for you
Couples Therapy Intensives include more than just talk therapy. The couples therapy approaches I use offer long term strategies and incorporate mind, body, and spirit connections. Modalities such as Emotionally Focussed Couples Therapy (EFCT), Relationship Repair Process (RRP), and Trauma Integration and Regulation Process (TRIP) all offer tools and skills that are a great fit for couples. Couples Intensives include therapy, education, skills, and experiential activities.
Why Try a Couples Therapy Intensive?
Your work/family schedule makes it hard to book consistent weekly therapy sessions
The thought of booking weekly sessions feels stressful and overwhelming—like it’s another thing to fit into an already too long to-do list
You want time to focus on your relationship without feeling rushed or getting interrupted—and without regular life or new issues coming up between sessions
You’re already in therapy and feel like your relationship is stuck or on the verge of a breakthrough—you wonder if an integrated, somatic approach could help
You’re dealing with a big issue that’s negatively impacting your relationship—you need a lot of help so you can feel better now, not in weeks, months, or years
You’re a couple that works better in an intensive format—you love focussing on one big thing at a time and feeling like you accomplished something together
You want to plan and prepare emotionally and mentally for an upcoming life transition like a big move, wedding, becoming parents, retirement, becoming empty nesters, or a medical issue
Your Couples Intensive Includes:
Pre-Intensive Session
An online or in-person 90-minute session 1-2 weeks before your Intensive day(s) to prepare. We’ll collect information, go over assessments, determine your goals, and get you feeling prepared and ready for the Intensive.
Customized Intensive Session(s)
The Intensive takes place online or in-person for 2-4 hours each day (with extra time for breaks) over 1-3 days. Targeted activities and approaches include the option of starting with one individual 60-min session each.
Post-Intensive Session
An online or in-person 90-minute session 2-3 weeks after the Intensive to debrief the experience, review progress, and reflect on insights and transformations. You’ll leave with a plan for next steps in your healing journey.
Intensives are like a fast-pass experience—you get to plan around your schedule and accelerate your healing.
Ways to Include Therapy Intensives
Intensives as an add-on service
Schedule an intensive with me even if you see another therapist. We can work together to customize an intensive that makes sense for your treatment and you can absolutely continue working with your primary therapist.
This option allows you to explore a different therapeutic approach or modality that your current therapist doesn’t offer.
Intensives as your go-to form of therapy
Whether you’re new to therapy or you’ve seen multiple therapists, you can choose intensives as your go-to therapy approach.
For some people, working in an intensive, focussed way is a better fit for how they learn and process. Therapy needs to change to meet diverse needs.
You can book intensives monthly, every 3-4 months, or on whatever schedule makes sense for your life, goals, and healing journey.
Book an intensive before things reach the breaking point.
Couples Intensives are becoming more popular because they offer amazing opportunities to deep dive into issues or prepare for life transitions. Many people seek intensives because they offer uninterrupted space and time to process sensitive topics and intense feelings without feeling rushed. Others value scheduling regular uninterrupted chunks of time to explore patterns that are keeping them stuck, get to the root of their issues, deepen relationships, make lasting changes, and heal together. Working together to heal also fosters more intimacy and connection.
You don’t have to wait until things feel overwhelming. Intensives also help you plan intentionally for your future. Prevent small bumps from becoming big issues.
Couples Intensives are a wonderful way to process and be intentional about any decisions where you feel stuck or torn in multiple directions. Some couples use intensives like a retreat—a time to mindfully set goals or work on your relationship and healing without the distractions of regular life. Doing an in-person intensive in a beautiful city like Victoria can be restorative and energizing even as you do the deep work.
