A Relationship Assessment and Tune-Up

Spend 6 hours working one-on-one in one full day to get to the root of your marital issues. Based on your Gottman relationship assessment, attachment assessment, individual interviews, and current struggles. You’ll gain better understanding of your conflict and dysfunctional relationship style.

Included in this session:

• Gottman Relationship Checkup – a powerful online assessment to test your strengths and weaknesses as a couple
• A copy of Sue Johnson’s “Love Sense: The Revolutionary New Science of Romantic Relationships.” 
• Access my Private Client Resources page with exercises to help your marriage at every phase of getting back on track.

Who is a 6-hour intensive best for? For those couples who need a tune-up, check-in, or refresh. Those couples who are not in crisis (such as an affair or substance abuse) will do well with a 6-hour intensive. This is also good for those seeking pre-marital counseling.

Cost: $1800 (or $1600 for a Junior Therapist)

1/2 due when reserving and 1/2 due at the time of your appointment. You won’t be charged until two weeks prior, when your assessments are sent in preparation for your intensive. Contact our office to get scheduled!

Learn New Tools

This intensive is completed in two days, with the first day being 4-6 hours, and the second day being 2-4 hours. You will get to the root of the core issues and receive new tools to help you communicate and resolve your conflict.

Included in this session:

• Gottman Relationship Checkup – a powerful online assessment to test your strengths and weaknesses as a couple
• A copy of Sue Johnson’s “Love Sense: The Revolutionary New Science of Romantic Relationships.” 
• Access my Private Client Resources page with exercises to help your marriage get back on track at every phase.
• Two additional hours to discuss your specific conflict style and be coached through difficult conversations as you use your new tools.

Who is an 8-hour intensive best suited for? Those couples who are not currently in a crisis (unless another counselor is currently helping manage the crisis). The 8-hour couples’ intensive is best for couples who want to understand their individual and couple communication styles, conflict styles, and how their childhoods have impacted their relationships with their partners. Plus, you’ll do a bit of role-playing to begin using newly learned skills.

Cost: $2200 (or $1800 for a Junior Therapist)

1/2 due when reserving and 1/2 due at the time of your appointment. You won’t be charged until two weeks prior, when your assessments are sent in preparation for your intensive. Contact our office to get scheduled!

An Immersive Weekend

An immersive weekend (two days) in which you gain a much deeper understanding of the impact of your childhood upbringing and the inner workings of this relationship. You’ll get everything from the 6 or 8 hours intensive, plus additional time to begin practicing new skills.

While the 6- and 8- hour intensive heavily focuses on getting to core issues, the 12-hour intensive will shift you into a new way of communicating with your partner. This is where the real meat of your change will occur. You’ll be coached through difficult conversations and practice new tools:

• TEA Communication Style
• CALM Connecting
• Getting CLEAR

Getting to the root of core issues takes time. Once you’re there, you’ll learn and understand your and your partner’s “Baseline Battle “ (what you and your partner each struggle with the most while in conflict). Every couple has a conflict. How you resolve the conflict makes the difference between a healthy relationship and one in which you feel lost, lonely, heartbroken, and alone.

Included in this session:

• Gottman Relationship Checkup + Builder– an online assessment to test your strengths and weaknesses as a couple, PLUS a collection of exercises and videos designed to improve conflict, communication, and intimacy
• A copy of Sue Johnson’s “Love Sense: The Revolutionary New Science of Romantic Relationships.” 

Who is a 12-hour intensive best for? Those couples may be experiencing a crisis, such as an affair. However, they recognize that the relationship dynamic is the core issue, not one individual partner. (I.E., Affairs are a result of an already broken relationship. This intensive helps address that issue.)

Couples who do a 12-hour intensive are not only committed to the longevity of their relationship. While they’ve heard that “relationships take work,” they haven’t understood what this means. This weekend, you’ll get assessments, tools, and ample practice time for your new skills. Finally, you’ll be given follow-up homework to continue to work together.

Many couples are referred by their therapists to complete an intensive and then continue their work with their therapist. That works well! Take what you’ve learned, share it with your current therapist, and pick up where we left off. This works well for many couples.

Cost: $3400 (or $2900 for a Junior Therapist)
