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.

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.

 

Located in Dallas-Fort Worth.

Our office is located in Keller, Texas - which is nestled in between the sister cities of Dallas and Fort Worth, making our office accessible to residents across the metroplex, and to couples interested in reconnecting over a romantic getaway.

We’re excited to share the home we love, as you grow and connect with your favorite person again!
