What are Couples Therapy Intensives?

Couples therapy intensives are immersive, compact counseling sessions designed to help couples address deep-seated issues in their relationship in a short amount of time. They are also great to jump-start the therapy process. Typically scheduled over one to several consecutive days, these sessions provide a focused, uninterrupted space for couples to work through complex challenges, improve communication, and rebuild connection.

Unlike traditional weekly therapy, which can sometimes feel fragmented or stretched out, my couples therapy intensives offer a concentrated environment where couples can engage in meaningful conversations, practice new skills, and gain insight into their patterns of interaction. The continuous nature of intensives allows us to explore and understand and reevaluate longstanding issues more quickly, making significant progress in a compressed timeframe.

During our intensive, you will receive personalized support, and we will tailor the experience to meet your relationship's unique needs. Whether it's navigating conflict, deepening emotional intimacy, or addressing past trauma, intensives offer the opportunity to address concerns that may have been difficult to tackle in regular, weekly or monthly sessions.

For many couples, the immersive format of therapy intensives accelerates healing, providing a renewed sense of clarity and direction for their relationship. Whether you're struggling with communication breakdowns, infidelity, or simply feeling disconnected, a therapy intensive can offer the deep work necessary to create lasting change.

These intensives are particularly beneficial for couples who find themselves at a crossroads or in a challenging phase of their relationship. By dedicating concentrated time and effort to therapy, you can break through communication barriers, heal past wounds, and gain valuable insights into each other's perspectives. The intensive format enables couples to make significant progress in a shorter timeframe compared to traditional therapy, offering a path towards deeper understanding and emotional connection.

My Approach

My Couples Therapy Intensives are tailored to maximize the time we have together, giving you the tools and insights to create meaningful change. In a private, confidential setting, you’ll work closely with me—Katheryn Barton, a seasoned couples therapist who believes in real, practical solutions delivered with focus, understanding, validation, neutrality and a little humor,  (where appropriate, because relationships can be tough enough, it's good to find space where we can still laugh about it). Together, we will:

  • Address Key Issues: We’ll dive deep into the core challenges affecting your relationship—whether it’s communication breakdowns, recurring arguments, or emotional disconnection. No issue is too big or small to tackle head-on.
  • Gain New Insights: We’ll uncover the patterns, behaviors, and dynamics that may be holding you back. Once you understand what’s really going on beneath the surface, you can start making different choices—choices that support a healthier, happier relationship.
  • Learn Effective Strategies: Communication skills, emotional regulation, conflict resolution, and ways to deepen intimacy are just a few of the tools you’ll walk away with. You’ll leave with practical strategies you can start using immediately to improve understanding and connection.
  • Create a Roadmap for Success: At the end of our session, we’ll create a clear, actionable plan for moving forward. Together, we’ll identify your relationship goals and outline specific steps to get there. You’ll leave with a sense of direction, confidence, and knowing what to do next.

Continued Support After Your Couples Therapy Intensive

At the heart of a successful relationship transformation is ongoing support. The work we do during your Couple Therapy Intensive is just the beginning of a deeper, more fulfilling connection. The intensive day itself offers a powerful boost — a concentrated experience to understand one another, break old patterns, and create lasting change. However, real, sustainable progress comes from consistent practice and reinforcement.

To ensure that the growth you experience continues to flourish, I offer comprehensive post-intensive support designed to guide you every step of the way. This includes:

• Follow-Up Sessions

After your intensive, regular follow-up sessions will keep your momentum going. These sessions are tailored to reinforce the skills you’ve learned, address any new challenges that arise, and ensure you’re staying aligned with your relationship goals. We’ll also focus on maintaining clarity in your communication and continue to work on breaking any old habits that may resurface as you navigate new dynamics.

• Guidance and Resources

Relationship growth requires ongoing learning, and I’m here to help. As you work to solidify new patterns, I provide valuable resources designed to support your journey. These resources will help you identify areas where you may still get stuck and offer clear guidance on how to work through those challenges. Whether it’s strategies for improving intimacy or communication exercises to break negative cycles, you’ll have tools to maintain progress at home.

• Access to Tools

To keep your relationship thriving, you’ll have access to customized tools and exercises that help you stay on track. These resources are like a maintenance checklist for your relationship — practical exercises and actionable steps that help you continue nurturing the connection you've worked hard to build. Whether it’s journaling prompts, conflict-resolution strategies, or connection rituals, I’ll provide you with everything you need to keep your relationship strong.

The journey doesn’t stop after the intensive — it’s just the beginning of a deeper, more lasting transformation. Together, we’ll ensure that you continue to grow, evolve, and strengthen your relationship for the long term.

Why an Intensive?

Why Choose an Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Intensive?

EFT Intensives offer a unique, concentrated opportunity to make significant breakthroughs in your relationship and accelerate the healing process. Whether you’re dealing with communication struggles, trust issues, or simply want to deepen your emotional connection, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) provides a powerful and structured pathway to create lasting change.

What makes EFT intensives so effective is the focused, immersive nature of the experience. Instead of working through challenges over several weeks or months, you and your partner will have dedicated time to address deep-rooted issues, explore new ways of connecting, and build skills that can create long-term healing in a much shorter span.

Experience the Power of EFT

EFT is a proven therapeutic approach grounded in attachment theory that focuses on strengthening the emotional bond between partners. By identifying and transforming negative cycles of interaction that keep you stuck, EFT helps partners understand each other’s emotional needs, enhance empathy, and foster deeper emotional intimacy. The result? A more secure, loving connection where both partners feel heard, validated, and supported.

In an EFT Intensive, we dive deep into the heart of your relationship in a safe, structured environment. Through focused, targeted interventions, you’ll learn how to communicate more effectively, rebuild trust, and reconnect on an emotional level.

Whether you're navigating a specific issue or simply want to take your relationship to the next level, EFT Intensives create a fast-track to positive change. It’s not just about fixing problems — it’s about building a resilient relationship foundation that can thrive in the face of life’s challenges.

“The first and foremost instinct of humans is neither sex nor aggression. It is to seek contact and comforting connection.”

What to Expect

In both the 5.5-hour session and the 3 hour session, we will work closely together to gain deeper insight into the patterns of behavior that keep you and your partner stuck. Using the principles of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) we will focus on:

-Understanding Each Other’s Needs: Uncover the emotional underpinnings of your interactions and learn how to communicate in ways that truly resonate with each other.

- Identifying and Changing Negative Communication Patterns: I’ll help you identify and interrupt negative loops of communication that trigger conflict, so you can shift towards more productive and loving exchanges.

- Building Emotional Intimacy: By the end of the session, you’ll have practical tools and strategies to continue fostering deeper connection and emotional safety.

The goal of our time together is to find clarity in your negative cycles and transform them. You’ll walk away with a greater understanding of where each of you is coming from, along with a clear plan for changing how you react to each other. With a focus on empathy, acceptance, and connection, we’ll work together to transform your communication, so you can begin to respond from a place of love, understanding, and emotional security.
