Enhanced Couples Therapy Intensive


What is an Enhanced

Couples Therapy Intensive?

Rigorous, Intensive Couples Therapy over 12-hours

A broken partnership can be repaired. You can recover from an affair. It is possible to fall back in love with your spouse. You can come back from the brink of divorce.

An enhanced couples therapy intensive can help you drastically improve a dying relationship. The goal of a couples intensive is to help you reestablish partnership; develop deeper emotional intimacy; and establish more loving, more connected, more fulfilling bonds than you probably ever had.
An enhanced couples therapy intensive takes place over two days where we spend six hours per day working privately with you as a couple. We dig deep to get to the root of the problem. Each partner is seen and heard. You learn emotion regulation skills, communication skills, and intimacy strengthening exercises to help you finally understand and effectively respond to each other's emotions, needs, and desires.

  • Desire results quickly
  • Are experiencing significant distress in their relationships

Invest In Your Relationship Now


The Quality of Our Relationships
Determines the Quality of Our Lives

The financial cost associated with divorce attorneys, moving, alimony, and child support is only a tiny representation of the actual cost of divorce.

The true cost of not seeking relationship help is the heartache, emotional exhaustion, loneliness, and despair that accompany distress in a relationship.

How could you afford not to invest in the one area of your life that research has proven over and over again is your greatest possible source of success and happiness?

You spend so much time and energy taking care of the people around you. Now is the time to take care of yourself and the most important relationship in your life.
