Couples Intensives
For when your relationship healing can’t wait!
Intensives can accomplish the work of months of weekly therapy in a condensed timeframe. I offer two forms of intensives:
3 days in a row, 3 hours per day
OR
2 days in a row, 5 hours each day.
Intensives are ideal for couples who are in need of a radical change in their relationship and can’t wait months for one-hour weekly appointments to give them the healing they need NOW. Whether this is due to an infidelity, a betrayal, a big life transition, loss, or your last hope before giving up on your relationship, intensives give you the focus needed to re-establish closeness and connection. If you’ve hit a wall in your relationship and don’t know what else to do, please know there is hope for you.
Intensives are also amazing for solid couples who have busy lives (frequent travel, being on-call, late work hours, opposite schedules) to come together for these short bursts of couples work rather than trying to fit weekly appointments into your already overbooked lives. An intensive is basically your own tailor-made private couples retreat where we focus on making big shifts in a short amount of time.
Disconnection from your partner is a lonely kind of pain.
I use EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) in my couples work. We sit down together and map out the cycle of conflict in your relationship, identify your defensive moves (and a greater understanding of why you use those moves), establish emotional safety, and invite in vulnerability so you each feel seen, heard and supported in the places where you are used to feeling most alone. EFT has the highest research-based success rate of any form of couples’ therapy, so when you dive in with me, you are giving your relationship the best opportunity to heal and thrive.
Whatever you’re going through, I’m here to help
Cost of Intensives:
3-Day Option (3 hours per day) = $1800
2-Day Option (5 hours per day) = $2000
Intensives are available online via Telehealth or in person in Saint Louis County in a luxurious space that offers you the comfort and coziness to process the difficult emotional work you’ll be doing. I also offer an in-home option for an additional upcharge to cover travel time if you are most comfortable experiencing this work in your own familiar space. 1/2 of your total balance is due at the time of booking an intensive, and the remainder is due the first day we meet.
I am LQBTQ+ identified and I love working with LGBTQ couples and the unique challenges they face. I am also kink friendly and poly/ENM friendly. I love working with couples who have religious trauma or were raised under the evangelical “purity” movement and need help healing some of these wounds together.
