Relationship & Sex Therapy Institute

Intensives  

A Focused, Accelerated Approach to Strengthening Your Relationship

Couples therapy can be challenging. Whether you’re new to it, returning after a break, or already in the process, a couples intensive can offer a powerful boost for meaningful progress.
We offer customizable therapy intensives designed to help you and your partner(s) build connection, improve communication, and navigate challenges in a concentrated format.

What Are Therapy Intensives?

Unlike weekly therapy sessions, intensives allow you to dedicate uninterrupted time to your relationship. They provide the equivalent of weeks or months of couples therapy in a single focused experience.

Our intensives are ideal for couples who:

✔ Want a structured start to couples therapy with clear goals and direction.
✔ Haven’t been in therapy for a while and want to re-engage with support.
✔ Seek growth and connection, whether facing challenges or simply wanting to strengthen their bond.
✔ Prefer an immersive experience over weekly therapy sessions.
✔ Want to explore sex therapy concerns in a focused, affirming environment.

What Happens in an Intensive?
Each intensive is tailored to your relationship and goals. Options may include:

  • Structured Relationship Assessment – Using Gottman-based tools and/or the Sexual History Questionaaire and clinical insights, we help you understand strengths, challenges, and next steps.

  • Sex Therapy Intensives – Dedicated time to explore intimacy, desire discrepancies, sexual communication, neurodivergence, alternative relationship structures, or specific challenges in a safe, affirming space.

  • Skill-Building & Communication Coaching – Learn practical strategies to navigate conflict, repair past hurts, and create shared meaning.

Flexible Scheduling Options

  • 4-hour intensives (half-day)

  • Full-day intensives (6–8 hours with breaks)

  • Two-day retreats (spread over a weekend or weekdays)

  • Custom schedules available based on your needs

Structured follow-up is available, and intensives can complement ongoing weekly therapy or stand alone as a focused experience.
