Two seasoned clinicians, one private weekend, accelerated results
Why a Couples Intensive?
Different than weekly therapy
More time. Accelerated results.
Traditional couples therapy happens one hour at a time in between work, stress, parenting, and daily life. Progress can feel slow with the stops and starts of hourly sessions. Intensives create uninterrupted time to move beyond surface issues and build momentum faster. They are efficient and impactful.
Team approach
Experience matters.
You’ll work directly with the founders of Virginia Couples Intensives from start to finish. Amy and Mary have spent years refining a model designed for couples seeking meaningful change in a shorter period of time. Couples benefit from a broader perspective, deeper insight, and a personalized approach.
Intensives work
Depth makes a difference.
Intensives work because extensive preparation, experienced clinicians, and extended time create the depth needed for breakthroughs. It’s much more than simply talking for two days. Together, we map out cycles of interaction, practice communication tools with real-time guidance, and work through impactful repair exercises.
Sometimes couples reach a point where more depth and expertise is needed. And they want to feel better sooner.
