Couples Therapy Intensives

Couples Therapy Intensives | Heal, Reconnect, and Move Forward

In our couples therapy intensive, my role is to gently guide you—helping you pause, put down the walls, and finally connect with what’s real and unresolved. I offer half-day, one or two-day couples therapy intensives to restore trust, communication, and intimacy. This can be an effective form of relationship counseling for busy professionals who are dealing with long-standing relationship challenges, high conflict, infidelity, or other deep relationship wounds.

Laser-Focused Therapy for Couples Who Are Ready for Change

You can count on me to be fully engaged and intentional—from the very first session of your couples therapy intensive to the very last. I understand the value of your emotional and financial investment, which is why my goal is always to dive straight into what matters most. Helping you move away from a place of stuck and uncertainty.

As a counselor who specializes in couples intensives, I believe in bringing the same level of commitment to our time together that I ask of my clients. I didn’t begin offering intensives lightly. I bring over a decade of clinical experience, advanced education, and extensive couples-specific training to this service.

My background includes:

  • A doctoral degree in counseling, focused on clinical expertise and therapist training

  • Training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

  • Training in the Gottman Method

  • Ongoing professional consultation and education to stay current and effective

This deep investment reflects my belief that you deserve more than just presence—you deserve precision, focus, and care.

Clients have described me as someone who gets straight to the core of what’s really beneath the surface. I help couples uncover those hidden emotional patterns and guide them to share openly, rebuild connection, and repair trust. This focused work allows us to address the real challenges sooner—and with lasting impact.

A couples therapy intensive takes away the feeling that you need to “catch me up” or repeat the same story. Together we are present and fully invested.

What Does A Couples Therapy Intensive Include?

Our couples therapy intensive is a focused, three-phase experience designed to bring clarity, healing, and lasting growth. You’ll start with a relationship assessment and prep, move into a deep dive session, and finish with tools you can take home to keep growing together.

Phase One: Relationship Assessment & Preparation

Before your couple’s intensive begins, you and your partner will complete relationship assessments to uncover your strengths, challenges, and relationship patterns. This allows Dr. Santos to deeply understand your dynamic and personalize the intensive to meet your exact needs.

Phase Two: Deep Dive Into the Relationship

This is where the real deep work begins. During the intensive, you and your partner will reflect on key insights from your relationship assessments. We will identify and address the core issues and patterns keeping you disconnected. Together, we will engage in guided exercises from a structured Couples Workbook designed to rebuild trust, improve communication, and deepen connection.

Phase Three: Completion & Take-Home Tools

You will leave with new learned approaches, insight, and tools. At the end of your intensive, you’ll walk away with your personalized Couples Workbook filled with notes, tools, and exercises you can continue using. These resources are designed to help you maintain progress, deepen your connection, and navigate future challenges with confidence and compassion.
