A two-day couples intensive with Cori White, LPC, in Wyomissing, PA.

​

A couples intensive is couples therapy, done over the course of two days.  Instead of meeting once a week for 50 minutes, you and your partner spend two full days with me, Thursday and Friday, digging into the stuff that keeps you stuck.

That's about 3 months of weekly therapy in two days, and the couples I see in intensives tend to make progress much more quickly.

Here are a few of the reasons couples do intensives with me:

• Infidelity and trust problems

• Constant arguing, or a high-conflict cycle you can't get out of

• Fighting about the in-laws

• Parenting disagreements

• Intimacy issues

• Grief

• Communication problems

• Lack of connection

Here because of an affair? I run intensives built specifically for affair recovery. [Read about affair recovery intensives →]​

How the two days work

Before your intensive

1. A free 20-minute consultation, so you can ask me anything and decide if this is right for you.  (Schedule that here!)

2. A Gottman relationship assessment that helps me understand your relationship dynamics and prepare for your intensive

Day 1 – Thursday, 9:30am to 4pm

• 9:30 – Intro and getting to know your history as a couple

• 10:30 – A 45 minutes individual session with each of you

• 12:00 – Creating your relationship goals

• 12:30 – Lunch

• 1:30 – Work blocks, with short breaks

• 4:00 - end Day 1

Day 2 – Friday, 9:30am to 4pm

• 9:30 – Check-in: what came up overnight?

• 10:00 – Work blocks, with short breaks

• 12:30 – Lunch

• 1:30 – Work blocks

• 3:00 – Building your post-intensive plan together

• 4:00 - End day 2

What's a work block? It's where we get into the reasons you came to the intensive. Every couple's work blocks look different, because every couple's problem is different.  In general, work blocks help to create empathy, understanding, and moments of connection between you and your partner. 

​

What you leave with

Couples who do an intensive tell me they leave feeling more connected and understood than they have in years.  They tell me that it's the first thing that's really helped them work through their problem.

​

If you have communication problems, you leave knowing how to communicate in a way that creates connection instead of conflict.

​

If you're fighting about your in-laws, you leave with a much better idea of how to be a united front - and how to deal with the people on the other side of it.

If you're stuck in high conflict, you leave understanding your own role in the conflict cycle, the dynamics that keep you both stuck in it, and how to start reversing it.

​

Who this is for – and who it isn't

An intensive works when you both want the relationship to work - even if neither of you knows if it's possible or how to make it work.  

​

An intensive is NOT a good fit if:

• One of you wants out of the relationship, or isn't willing to participate

• An affair is still going on

• There is violence or abuse in the relationship

If you're not sure if an intensive is right for you, schedule a free consultation with me and I can help determine if it would be helpful.

​

Cost

$3,000 for the full intensive: the Gottman assessment, both intensive days, and your post-intensive plan.

• The remaining $2,500 is due the day before your intensive.
