Couples Therapy Intensives

Sometimes one hour just isn't enough.

Our Couples Therapy Intensive gives you and your partner dedicated time to slow things down, understand what's really happening in your relationship, and begin creating a clearer path forward.

In a single three-hour block, each of you meets with the therapist individually, then you come together for focused couples work. You leave with a shared understanding of what's keeping the relationship stuck and a clear recommendation for what comes next.

Intensives are held in person at our Fort Lauderdale office and are led by a licensed therapist who specializes in couples work.

Is a Couples Intensive Right for You?

This may be a good fit if you're dealing with:

• Repeated arguments or communication breakdowns

• Infidelity or broken trust

• Emotional distance or disconnection

• Major relationship stress or transitions, including co-parenting conflict, relocation, or a new baby (added examples)

• Feeling stuck in traditional weekly therapy

• A need for clarity about what comes next

• Schedules that make weekly sessions hard to keep (added)

When an intensive isn't the right first step

Every couple is different, which is why we start with a brief consultation. An intensive is usually not the best fit when:

• Either partner is attending because they feel pressured to

• There is ongoing physical, verbal, or emotional abuse in the relationship

• One partner has an untreated substance use or mental health concern that needs attention first

• One partner has already decided to end the relationship

In those situations, we'll recommend a different starting point, which may include individual therapy or a different service at our practice.

How the 3-Hour Intensive Works

The full intensive takes place on a single day, with short breaks between each hour.

Why Start Individually?

Every relationship has two perspectives.

Meeting with each partner separately gives your therapist a better understanding of what each person is experiencing before bringing you together for focused couples work.

The goal is not to determine who is right or wrong. The goal is to understand what is keeping the relationship stuck and what needs to happen next.

What you share in your individual hour is used to guide the joint session, not to take sides. If there is something you're not ready to bring into the room together, tell your therapist during your individual time and you'll decide together how to handle it.

What to Expect

Before your intensive

After your consultation, each partner completes a short intake questionnaire. This helps your therapist make the most of your individual hour.

The day of

Plan for about three and a half hours at our Fort Lauderdale office. Each partner is welcome to wait in our lobby or step out during the other's individual hour.

Investment

The 3-hour Couples Intensive is $899 per couple. A 25% deposit is due at booking, with the balance due on the day of your intensive. Cancellations with less than [48 hours'] notice forfeit the deposit.

What Happens After the Intensive?

At the end of the session, your therapist will recommend next steps based on your relationship. That may include:

• Traditional couples therapy

• Additional extended sessions

• A full-day couples intensive

• Individual therapy alongside couples work

• Focused work around trust, communication, or infidelity

Because all of these services are available at Challenges Conquered Counseling, you can continue with the same therapist without starting over.
