Couples Intensive Retreat
From Stuck to Secure: A Focused, In-Depth Retreat for Lasting Change
Get to the Root of Disconnection—Deeply and Efficiently
Couples Intensives offer a transformative alternative to traditional weekly therapy. Over the course of two or three days, you and your partner will dive deep into the patterns that have caused disconnection, gain clarity on past repair attempts that haven’t worked, and create space for healthier, more secure communication.
2-3 Months of Therapy in Just 2 or 3 Days
By staying fully present without weekly pauses, we maintain momentum, allowing for deeper breakthroughs and lasting change. This immersive experience provides the time and focus needed to shift from distress to understanding in a way that weekly sessions often cannot.
A couples intensive is a powerful investment—of time, energy, and resources—dedicated solely to strengthening your relationship.

Every couple experiences conflict—it's an unavoidable part of being in a close, intimate relationship. Disagreements arise from differences in needs, perspectives, and emotional responses, and they don’t necessarily mean something is wrong with your relationship. What often creates distress isn’t the conflict itself, but the pattern it follows. When arguments feel repetitive, unresolved, or leave both partners feeling unheard, it can create emotional distance and frustration. Over time, these unresolved moments can make even small disagreements feel overwhelming, leading to cycles of disconnection and hurt.
Maybe your conversations quickly turn into arguments, or you feel like you’re speaking different languages when trying to express your needs. Some couples experience a growing emotional or physical distance, feeling more like roommates than partners. Others struggle with trust wounds, past hurts, or external stressors that make connection feel difficult. When these patterns persist, they can leave both partners feeling misunderstood, unimportant, or alone in their relationship. These experiences are common, and they don’t mean your relationship is broken—they mean there’s an opportunity for deeper understanding and repair.
Every Relationship Faces Challenges
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is a proven approach that helps couples heal the parts of their relationship that feel stuck, disconnected, or broken. Instead of just addressing surface-level issues, EFT goes deeper, uncovering the emotions, unmet needs, and fears that drive conflict and distance.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) helps couples move beyond surface-level conflicts and uncover the deeper emotions and needs that drive their disconnection. Instead of getting stuck in blame or defensiveness, EFT provides a framework for recognizing and shifting negative cycles into moments of healing and connection.
Through guided conversations, couples learn to express themselves in ways that foster safety, understanding, and intimacy. With time and support, partners can rebuild trust, strengthen their bond, and create a relationship that feels more secure, connected, and fulfilling.
