Couples Intensive in Marin County

Transform Your Relationship in Just Days: Deep Relational Work for Busy Couples

Accelerate months of progress in a focused 2–3-day immersive experience.

What is a Couples Intensive?

    • Deeply assess core patterns: communication ruts, trust gaps, and emotional triggers.

    • Engage in targeted, in-session experiments (structured dialogues, eye-gazing, “undoing” exercises) to practice new ways of relating.

    • Utilize EMDR techniques to reprocess past relational wounds and reduce emotional reactivity.

    • Integrate somatic and mindfulness practices to regulate the nervous system and cultivate safety.

    • Co-create a personalized roadmap with concrete tools and between-session practices to sustain breakthroughs.

Perfect for busy couples in Marin County, our intensive offers a concentrated “time-out” container, free from daily distractions, so you can reconnect, rebuild trust, and ignite lasting intimacy.Integrating sex therapy into couples therapy provides a holistic approach to relationship issues, addressing both emotional and sexual aspects.

Who It’s For

Our Couples Intensive is ideal for busy partners in Marin County who:

  • Feel stuck in chronic conflict cycles despite weekly therapy

  • Are navigating betrayal, trust issues, or major life transitions

  • Want rapid breakthroughs but can’t commit to long-term weekly sessions

  • Value deep relational work and data-driven progress tracking

Why It Works

By stepping out of daily distractions and into an immersive 2–3-day container, you harness focused therapeutic intensity that accelerates change, equivalent to 3–4 months of weekly sessions.

  • Immersion: Continuous, uninterrupted work deepens insight and shifts patterns more rapidly than dispersed appointments.

  • Integrated Modalities: Combining RLT, EMDR, EFT, and somatic practices creates synergy, addressing thoughts, emotions, and bodily responses at once.

  • Time-Out Container: A dedicated retreat-style setting fosters safety, reduces external stressors, and strengthens your commitment to one another.

  • Data-Driven Feedback: Real-time tracking of progress lets you see gains immediately and tailor next steps.

Our Therapeutic Ingredients

Each Couples Intensive weaves together four powerful approaches. Here’s how they work in concert to transform your relationship.

Click each heading to learn how these four core approaches work together in your 2–3-day intensive.

  • We map hidden interaction patterns (power dynamics, enactments, survival strategies) to interrupt unhelpful cycles and foster genuine connection. RLT uncovers the “heartbeat” of your relationship so you can choose new, healthier rhythms.

  • We guide you to access core attachment emotions (fear, longing, vulnerability) and transform them into secure emotional bonds. You’ll practice new, corrective emotional experiences in-session.

  • Using EMDR grounded in over 30 years of peer-reviewed research, we reprocess past relational wounds, so triggers lose their charge and you can respond with presence instead of reactivity. EMDR’s efficacy is supported by randomized controlled trials demonstrating significant reductions in trauma symptoms and emotional reactivity.
