Marathon (Intensive) Couples Retreat

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.
