When Weekly Couples Therapy Doesn’t Feel Like Enough, Intensive Couples Therapy can Stop You from Feeling Stuck

Whether your arguments include high levels of blame, one person pushing while the other pulls, or both of you avoiding each other, we are here to help end these negative cycles.

These cycles can start after a major emotional injury, or just become the status quo after years of a slowly dying love life. Either way, Intensive Couples Therapy tackles these patterns directly and quickly, pushing you toward healthier and more connected patterns.

What is a Couples Therapy Intensive?

Couples Therapy, sometimes called Marriage Counseling, works. It can heal childhood pains and it can heal relationship pains. That said, many couples find progress slower than desired. Recent conflicts can consume the therapy space, slowing the process of healing the damaging patterns that continually cause those conflicts.

In regular Couples Therapy, we work to de-escalate current conflicts and tie them into larger patterns, using the therapy space to heal those overall patterns.

In a Couples Therapy Intensive, we focus almost exclusively on the patterns. The session continuity means less time spent reorienting to the most recent conflict, instead letting us laser in on the cycle, underlying emotions, damaging behaviors, and ultimately establish new interactions.
