Therapy Intensives for Couples

Something needs to change in your relationship — fast.

Perhaps you’re:

• Experiencing a major break down in communication.
• Afraid to say how you really feel.
• Not sure what the next steps are in your relationship.

If you’re going through a huge shift, leaving your day-to-day environment to work through a big thing in couple days may be just what you need.

Intensives can help you:

• Get away from everyday distractions and obligations to a safe space where you can take the time you need to focus on changing for the better.
• Break any negative patterns that may be causing distance and isolation within the relationship.
• Fill you with hope because you will have created a new and better path for your relationship.
• Know that you can trust your partner and are truly loved.

Whatever the concern,  I can help with an intensive, goal-oriented treatment plan tailored to your needs. My approach combines the EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) & Gottman research-based couples therapy because I have found using these techniques together creates strong, long-lasting results.

How this works:

Typically we’ll meet four to five hours a day for two consecutive days in Houston. Once the appointment is booked, I’ll send you travel information and a packet of questionnaires to be filled out individually. I’ll review your answers before we meet and have a strategy planned so that we can get down to business.

After the intensive therapy is over, we will plan follow up visits or I will connect you with a therapist in your area.

Please note: In my practice I do not accept any insurance. The appropriate documents will be handed to you so you can file your own claim. You may want to check with your insurance carrier for coverage before we meet.

What is EFT?

In paraphrasing founder Sue Johnson:

In EFT we look a the negative dance you and your partner are caught in and how it leaves you both hurt and frustrated.

I can help you create a new dance that is safer, closer and more satisfying. We talk about emotions because they are the music of the dance. In EFT we help you understand the signals you send that might make it hard for your partner to come close and help you send new signals that pull your partner towards you. We help you dance together – in harmony. 

What is the Gottman Method:

The Gottman Method of couples therapy, uses scientific research from 35 years of studying the dynamics of successful — and unsuccessful — couples.

John Gottman’s research shows that to make a relationship last, couples must become better friends, learn to manage conflict, and create ways to support each other’s hopes for the future.
