3 Days, 3x the Results

An intensive and immersive therapeutic experience for you and your partner to see fast and effective results.

What is a Couple’s Intensive?

A couple’s intensive is made for the couple that is motivated to see specific changes in their relationship. They want fast results and are eager to make changes that will benefit them individually and as a unit. Couples who are busy and may not have time for weekly sessions, who have targeted goals such as communication improvement, increasing sex and intimacy, or healing from an affair or rupture in trust will benefit most from an intensive therapeutic experience. Couples can meet in person or virtually. Couples from any state can travel to Sacramento, California for a romantic and hardworking weekend with powerful results that will last a lifetime.

What to Expect

As your therapist, I will make sure you feel comfortable and safe before we dive in to the particulars. I know it takes a lot of bravery to reach out to a therapist about these issues in the first place, so you can take comfort in knowing I will get to know you and/or your partner(s) and create strong rapport before asking you to share.

After completing your free 30 minute consult, Martha will meet with each partner individually to build rapport, create individual and joint goals and prepare your personalized workbook for your intensive weekend. The sessions take place across 3 days so that you have time to rest and rejuvenate after each intensive session. Couples will move through a variety of Gottman Institute exercises to build emotional and physical intimacy, reignite lost sparks, and learn effective skills for managing conflict and improving communication. Weekend schedule and accompanied exercises are customized to each couple’s specific needs and goals.
