How we help you find your way forward
Most couples don’t set out expecting to end up here. You started with a shared idea of where you were going, but somewhere along the way, things got harder. You took some wrong turns, got stuck in the same arguments, tried a different route but ended up in the same place.
Our weekend intensives give you the time and guidance to understand how you got here, stop getting lost, and find a different way forward - together.
01
Pull over and get your bearings.
We’ll take a closer look at where you are and how you got here.
We’ll explore the experiences that shaped each of you, the ways you’ve learned to protect yourselves, and map out the cycle that’s keeping you stuck.
THE SHIFT
“I thought I understood the problem. But now I get what’s really happening underneath the surface. Things are much clearer now.”
02
Map out a different route.
With our guidance, you’ll work though old hurts and resentments, communicate differently, and practice staying present when things get hard.
This isn’t a class where you simply learn new tools. You’ll actually experience what it feels like to be together in a different way.
THE SHIFT
“I can feel the walls coming down and the tension is starting to soften. I can see the person I love and it feels like we’re on the same team.”
03
Get back on the road.
The goal isn’t just a great weekend together. It’s to help you take what happens here back to your real life.
We’ll help you anticipate speed bumps, create a clear plan for how to manage them, and send you home with practical tools and a custom resource book so you can keep building the relationship you want.
THE SHIFT
“We proved we can do this. We have a plan we feel good about. Now we can start enjoying the ride again.”
What Makes Our Intensives Different
We built this model to offer something rarely found in couples intensive programs: two experienced couples therapists, four different therapy models, and a highly collaborative, hands-on approach.
There’s no substitute for the level of observation and analysis that comes from having two seasoned clinicians in the room. Often, one of us is actively working with the couple while the other is quietly observing, noticing shifts in mood, tension, withdrawal, or something happening between you that might otherwise be missed.
Couples therapy has been the focus of our work for decades, so you can trust that you’re in experienced hands.
The care we put into the weekend extends beyond the therapy itself. From the food we provide to the therapy breaks and the space itself - every detail is intended to help you feel comfortable and supported during your weekend.
We take care of the details so you can focus on each other.
“I have deep appreciation for the time and attention you both gave to this process. You created a safe space for us.
