our team of experts
Why choose our intensive couples therapists?
Relationship excellence demands specialized expertise—particularly in intensive work with couples. While many therapists offer couples counseling, conducting successful intensive retreats requires a distinct mastery that only comes from regular practice. Our clinicians each lead 1-2 intensive weekends every month, accumulating more concentrated therapeutic experience in a weekend than most therapists gain in months of hourly sessions.
This focused immersion allows us to navigate the unique dynamics of intensive work with uncommon skill. We understand how to pace extended sessions, maintain momentum, and guide couples through breakthrough moments that emerge during sustained therapeutic engagement.
Our team regularly collaborates, sharing insights gained from thousands of intensive retreats. Many skilled therapists join our team specifically to master this specialized format. They recognize that regular intensive work develops capabilities that occasional intensive weekends cannot match. When you’re investing in an intensive couples therapy retreat, choose experts who have made this transformative approach their core practice, not an occasional offering.

When I reflect on the depth of expertise within our team of 30+ clinicians, I’m genuinely moved by what we’ve created together. In 2024 alone, our therapists have led advanced trainings on everything from healing after long-buried affairs come to light, to revitalizing a couples’ sexuality during empty nest transitions, from trauma-informed couples work to the intricacies of Emotionally Focused Therapy.
Having a collaborative team of this caliber means that each couple who comes to us benefits not just from their primary therapist, but from the collective wisdom of dozens of specialists who regularly share insights, challenge each other’s thinking, and refine our approach to intensive work.
This is what true clinical excellence looks like – master clinicians supporting one another, all focused on one goal: helping couples create lasting positive change in a concentrated timeframe.
