Intensive Couples Retreats offer an immersive, effective alternative to traditional therapy. This is a two-day (one-day mini intensives also available) premium experience with the power and depth of up to six months of weekly couples therapy sessions. Couples can arrange accommodations for the intensive in Pittsburgh or have the intensive in the comfort of their own home.

​

The process includes:

Assessment:

• Gottman Relationship Checkup Included: You both fill out a comprehensive relationship evaluation.

• Relationship History Report: You both submit relationship history information to me.

• Individual Interviews: You both schedule a 55 minute virtual interview with me.

• Feedback: I provide my assessment about whether an Intensive Couples Retreat is appropriate at this time.

Intensive:

• Two 8-hour days (some flexibility available) consisting of a customized plan and intensive work.

Follow-up:

• For couples who complete their goals within the intensive, one follow-up session is strongly recommended within 7-10 days after the intensive.

• Some relationships require ongoing regular therapy. In these cases, we can discuss weekly, monthly, or quarterly regular sessions.

• Follow-up sessions can be done in person or virtually and must be conducted within the state of PA. For couples who travel out of state for the intensive, I can help arrange follow-up care with a Certified Gottman Therapist in your hometown/state.
