Marathon (Intensive) Couples Therapy
I offer intensive couples therapy, sometimes called marathon couples therapy, for partners who want meaningful change in a focused, immersive format. This approach is grounded in the Gottman Method, a research-based model that helps couples improve communication, manage conflict more effectively, and rebuild emotional connection.
Rather than meeting for weekly sessions, intensives provide extended therapy hours over one or more days, allowing us to assess patterns, interrupt unhelpful cycles in real time, and practice new skills with support and guidance. Many couples find that this format helps them make progress that might otherwise take months of traditional therapy.
Intensive couples therapy may be a good fit if you are:
Feeling stuck in recurring conflict
Navigating a relationship crossroads
Recovering from a rupture, affair, or loss of trust
Limited by busy schedules or long travel distances
Unable to arrange child-care for what may possibly be months of traditional weekly couples therapy sessions
Wanting focused, results-oriented work
Typical Investment (Private Pay Only):
Half-Day Intensive (3 hours): $800
One-Day Intensive (6 hours): $1,600
Two-Day Intensive (12 hours): $3,200
Three-Day Intensive (18 hours): $4,800
All intensives include assessment, structured Gottman-based interventions, and a personalized plan for integration and next steps. A 50% non-refundable deposit is required to reserve intensive dates, with the remaining balance due prior to the first intensive session.
Included for One or multi-day intensives
Scheduling
Given the highly tailored nature of this service, I will work to accommodate your schedule. Intensive couples therapy sessions may be scheduled on weekdays, weeknights, and/or weekends.
