3 DAYS IN PERSON · KELLER, TX · FROM $5000
Does any of this sound familiar?
“You don’t listen. No matter how hard I try, I can’t get through to you.”
“All I hear is what I’m doing wrong.”
“It’s all on me. I have to take care of everything myself.”
“I never get it right. It’s never enough.”
“I don’t feel like I matter to you.”
“I’m damned if I do and damned if I don't.”
“It feels like we’re roommates.”
These aren't two problems.
They're one pattern, said from two seats.
Healing doesn’t take time, it takes focus.

Weekly therapy works, and for many couples it's the right place to start. The steady cadence builds momentum, and change accumulates.
But when you're stuck, weekly can feel like filling a bucket with a hole in the bottom — you gain ground in session, and the week drains it before you're back. The intensive closes that gap. Three consecutive days, no re-entry, no starting over each time.
Three days, in order.
DAY 1 — the x-ray.
Like an x-ray before setting the bone, we begin with assessment to find where the pattern locks and why repair hasn't held, so by day two we know exactly where to work. Most couples leave day one feeling clearer than they arrived.
DAY 2 — the work.
The longest day, and the one that changes things. As the pain stabilizes, we go deeper to what has fueled the blocks between you.
DAY 3 — making it hold.
We consolidate what shifted, name what you'll each be practicing. By day three, most couples describe feeling:
Relieved | Comforted | Encouraged | Hopeful
Typically weekdays, 9:30–2:30, with day three ending at midday. Exact hours may vary upon request.
Highly motivated
You’re both ready. The intensive turns that into traction quickly instead of across a year.
In crisis
Something has just broken open, and waiting weeks between sessions isn’t tolerable.
Short on time
The same hour every week doesn’t fit your life. Three days you’ve blocked out does.
Stalled in therapy
Traction has slowed and it’s hard to say why. Three days is enough to find the block.
The intensive is especially helpful for the following couples:
When an intensive isn’t well timed.
Intensives are not recommended when there is:
Intimate partner violence or abuse — [more information on intimate partner violence].
Active, denied addiction(s).
Ongoing affair(s).
Conflicting Goals (One of you wants to make it work, the other does not)
If any of these are live, an intensive usually isn’t the place to start. Tell us anyway — the consultation is where we can brainstorm supports that meet your needs and goals.
As with any psychotherapy, results are not guaranteed.
If you already have a therapist
Most of our intensive couples do, and many arrive at their therapist's recommendation.
We'll ask permission to coordinate, send a summary of what we worked on, and hand the thread back so the work continues where it started. The intensive is a tool your therapist can use — not a replacement for them.
For referring clinicians: reach out and we'll walk you through what we'd send back.
Come in person.
The intensive is held in-person at our clinic in Texas. Couples often find that using the intensive as a romantic getaway helps to strengthen their bond, and that the alone time together lends to the program’s success.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Our intensive providers complete all consultations virtually.
During the consultation, we’ll ask some questions about what’s bringing you in and how we can help, share about our approach and answer questions you have. If the intensive feels like a good mutual fit, we’ll talk scheduling.
-
While the intensive is a one time service, we want our couples to experience a lifetime of love and relief. For this reason, ongoing treatment is recommended to all couples to support long-term results.
For couples interested in seeking continued support we will help connect you with a therapist in your area. If you are local or would like to continue working with one of our providers, availability for ongoing care can be discussed at that time.
For couples who were working with a therapist prior to the intensive, we ask you sign a release of information so we may connect with your local therapist before and after the intensive to best support your hard work and ongoing traction.
Get to the heart of disconnection, efficiently.
