Key Components:
Extended Sessions
Sessions can last from a few hours (3) to a whole day (6 hours). This allows couples to delve deeply into their issues without the interruptions and time constraints of regular therapy.
Comprehensive
Assessment
We usually begin with a thorough assessment of the relationship. This might include individual and joint interviews, questionnaires, and discussions to understand the underlying dynamics and issues.
Focused Interventions
We use targeted interventions to address specific problems. This can include communication techniques, conflict resolution strategies, and exercises to build trust and intimacy.
Immediate Feedback
The intensive format allows for real-time feedback and adjustments, enabling couples to practice new skills and behaviors with our guidance.

The therapy provides a structured and safe space for couples to express their feelings, work through conflicts, and reconnect.
