Couples Intensives in Boulder + Denver, CO

When Your Relationship Needs More Than an Hour a Week

Are you sitting in months (or years) of disconnection? Facing the aftermath of an affair? Or questioning whether to stay or go?
Does the state of your relationship not have time to wait for weekly therapy to make a dent?

Couples Intensives are for relationships in crisis or at a crossroads—when what you need isn’t slow progress, but meaningful, lasting change now.

An Accelerated Path Toward Clarity and Connection

This is deep, focused work. A Couples Intensive offers the chance to step out of daily chaos and give your relationship the attention it urgently needs. Whether you’re navigating betrayal, burnout, or emotional gridlock, this format is designed to help you reset and reconnect—fast.

In one full day (typically 6–7 hours), you’ll work with two seasoned couples therapists—each with over a decade of experience—using a blend of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), attachment-based insight, and practical tools to rebuild trust, shift patterns, and move forward with clarity.

We alternate between:

• Joint couples sessions to explore patterns, deepen emotional connection, and work through stuck places together

• Breakout sessions with each partner to support individual clarity, reduce reactivity, and help each person reconnect to their needs

This process creates space for both partners to be seen, understood, and equipped for new ways of relating—whether you're rebuilding after a rupture or deciding what comes next.

What a Couples Intensive Looks Like

Every intensive is tailored to your unique relationship, but here’s an example of what the day might include:

• Morning Session
  Joint couples therapy to explore emotional blocks, clarify conflict cycles, and begin shifting your patterns of disconnection. We'll get specific about your relationship goals and what you each hope to gain from the day, so the work is focused and aligned from the start.

• Individual Breakout Sessions
  Each partner meets one-on-one with Grace or Sarah to deepen insight, identify stuck places, and ground emotional regulation. We’ll explore your attachment history and how it shows up in your current relationship patterns—so we can move beyond reactivity and into meaningful change.

• Lunch Break

• Afternoon Session
  Joint couples work to integrate insights, practice new relational tools, and move toward meaningful repair or reconnection.

• Closing Session
  A summary of the day, including next steps, concrete takeaways, and clarity around how to move forward—together or apart—with greater understanding.

You’ll Leave With So Much More Than Insight

A Couples Intensive doesn’t just uncover what’s going wrong—it gives you new ways to relate, connect, and grow. Along the way, you’ll learn practical tools and deepen your emotional fluency.

Hard Skills:

• The Emotional Map tool which can be used to communicate and release feelings in a safe and connected way

• The Intimacy Cycle: how to move from protection to connection

• Attunement skills to help you truly hear and respond to your partner

• Understanding of your attachment styles and how they play out in your marriage

• Regulation tools for calming conflict (both self-regulation and co-regulation)

• Awareness of your Window of Tolerance and how to stay emotionally present

Felt Sense:

• What it feels like to connect in a new and different way

• A lived experience of emotional safety, attunement, and shared presence

• A renewed sense of direction, hope, and clarity in your relationship

For Couples Who Can’t Wait Any Longer

This is for you if:

• You’re on the edge of separation or divorce and want one last, honest effort

• You’re navigating infidelity, broken trust, or emotional withdrawal

• You’ve been in therapy before but haven’t seen real movement

• You’re tired of looping the same painful patterns and are ready for something different

Whether your goal is repair or clarity, this intensive format creates space for the real work: less surface, more substance.

This is NOT for you if:

Substance use is the main issue

• Active substance misuse needs focused treatment before couples work can be effective.

• Once there’s traction in recovery or harm reduction, an intensive can support deeper relational healing.

There’s current physical violence in the relationship

• Emotional and physical safety is a prerequisite for this work.

• If violence is present, please reach out to a domestic violence specialist before engaging in a couples process.

The financial investment would create strain

• We want this experience to feel like a resource, not a stressor.

• If cost would cause financial tension, it may be best to wait or explore a format that better fits your budget.

One Day. Real Change.

You’ll walk away from a Couples Intensive with:

• A deeper understanding of the emotional patterns driving conflict

• New tools to regulate, communicate, and reconnect

• A clearer sense of what you each need and how to move forward

• Renewed hope and direction—whatever that path may be

Our Wish for Every Couple

To know how common it is to feel stuck in painful patterns—how normal it is to not have been taught how to do relationships well. To realize that connection, attunement, and repair are skills, and they can be learned.

And most of all, to discover that your relationship doesn’t have to be the hardest part of your life—it can be the most nourishing, grounding, and life-giving source of strength you have.

You deserve that kind of love.
