Couples Therapy Intensives

Offered Virtually on Weekends in NYS and 42 states + In person in NJ

Reconnect, Heal, and Find Your WayForward towards a relationship you both desire… within weeks, not years. 

Poonam and Dr. Priyanka


A Therapy Intensive is designed for you if:

You and your partner feel more like roommates, co-parents, or project managers than life partners…
The same painful fights and conversations keep repeating, leaving you both exhausted…
You feel resentful for the load you carry for your home and relationship
You feel disrespected and unsupported by your partner
You’ve been unable to attend traditional therapy each week due to scheduling conflicts or work commitments

You know something has to change.
You may have tried therapy, reading books, trying to be okay with the status quo. But nothing seems to shift for the long term. You're unhappy, stuck and conflict weary. 

If you’d like to re-script your couplehood story, Couples Therapy Intensives could be that cutting edge, accelerated option for you.

The relationship you desire is possible—and lasting change doesn’t have to take months or years.

Our Couples Therapy Intensives can help you:

    Begin healing emotional wounds, resentment, or betrayals that have created distance  
    Recognize unhelpful patterns and replace them with healthier ways of connecting  
    Gain clarity on your relationship’s future—whether rebuilding trust or taking space with kindness  
    Transform heartbreak into breakthroughs 
Poonam and Dr. Priyanka

Dr. Priyanka’s approach is one that draws from:

The Gottman Method – Tools to strengthen communication and rebuild trust
Internal Family Systems (IFS) – Understanding emotional triggers and inner conflicts
Attachment Theory – Healing disconnection and deepening emotional safety
Somatic Therapy – Releasing emotional pain held in the body for true healing

This intensive is for couples who need more than just small steps forward—they need a turning point. Through our work we help the 3 people in your relationship- “you”, “me” and “the US” connect, repair ruptures, heal and harmonize together.

Why Do Therapy Intensives Work?

Because sometimes, weekly therapy just isn’t enough. When you’re stuck in the same painful cycles, progress can feel slow—like you’re barely scratching the surface before time runs out. An intensive gives you the space to dive deep, get to the root of what’s really going on, and create real shifts—fast.
( highlight this in some way- In Quotes or Brackets) Over the course of 3-4 focused hours (split into two sessions), we untangle the patterns keeping you stuck, work through unresolved hurt, and give you the tools to move forward with clarity—whether that means repairing, reconnecting, or creating space with kindness.
It’s about getting the support you need, when you need it, so you can stop spinning in circles and start making real change.

What Happens in a Couples Therapy Intensive?

Every couple is different, which is why your intensive will be as unique as your relationship, needs and goals- whether that’s a single deep-dive session or multiple intensives over time.
Here’s how it works:

  • Step 1: Consultation & Pre-Intake

    We start with a FREE 15 minute consultation to understand your relationship dynamics and what you’re hoping to gain. You’ll also complete a detailed intake packet, where you’ll share your background, challenges, and goals.

  • Step 2: Intake Session (60 minutes)

    Before the intensive, we’ll meet for a focused session to dive deeper into your history, patterns, and relationship struggles. We’ll use this time to create a clear plan for your intensive, setting goals and outcome measures to track real progress.

  • Step 3: Customized Intensive Plan & Workbook

    You will have a personalized roadmap and workbook for your sessions, drawing from a variety of therapies, along with approaches like Gottman Method, IFS, and Somatic Therapy. This ensures we target the root causes of conflict and disconnection, not just the surface-level issues.

  • Step 4: Intensive Sessions

    This is where the real work happens. We’ll meet for a 3-4 hour intensive, either in-person or virtually. Sessions are structured to unpack gridlocked issues, process emotions, learn and practice tools and develop new ways of relating that actually stick.

  • Step 5: Post-Intensive Follow-Up & Planning (60 minutes)

    A few weeks after your intensive, we would meet for a follow-up session to de-brief, check in, measure progress, and make sure you both feel confident applying what you’ve learned. We would also plan for next steps, both using an intensive format and/or returning to working with your current therapist or provider.

FAQ

  • Why Choose a Couples Therapy Intensive?

    When your relationship feels stuck, waiting months or years for change isn’t an option. A Couples Therapy Intensive is a powerful, accelerated approach that helps you break through long-standing patterns and gain clarity—fast.
    Instead of spending one hour a week in therapy for months, hoping for progress in between life’s distractions, imagine carving out dedicated time to focus solely on your relationship.
    🔹 Go deeper, faster – Intensives allow you to tackle the root of your struggles in a focused, uninterrupted space.
    🔹 Make real progress in days, not months – What might take six months of weekly therapy can happen in just a few hours of deep, immersive work.
    🔹 Step away from the daily grind – Many couples treat their intensive as a retreat—taking time off work, getting a babysitter, or even booking a hotel to fully unplug and reset.
    🔹 Walk away with real tools and clarity – Whether you’re working toward reconnection or deciding on next steps, you’ll leave with practical insights you can apply immediately.
    If your relationship feels gridlocked, if therapy hasn’t worked in the past, or if you’re simply ready for a breakthrough, a Couples Therapy Intensive offers the focused support you need—when you need it.

  • Why do Therapy Intensives Work Faster?  

    Traditional 50-minute therapy sessions can be helpful, but they often **don’t allow enough time** for deep, lasting change. By the time you check in, get settled, and wrap up, there’s usually only **30-40 minutes** of real therapeutic work—just enough to scratch the surface.
    With a **3 or 4 hour Therapy Intensive**, we skip the start-and-stop process and can slow dive straight into the heart of the work. You get **2.5- 3.5 hours of focused, uninterrupted therapy—the equivalent of 4-5 regular sessions or over a month of weekly therapy in a single day.
    This means:
    ✔ **More depth, fewer interruptions**
    ✔ **Faster breakthroughs** instead of slow, drawn-out progress
    ✔ **A focused space** where real healing and change can happen
    If you’re ready for **meaningful progress without months of waiting**, a Therapy Intensive can give you the momentum you need—right now.

  • How many Therapy Intensives should I schedule? 

    Great question! It really depends on what you’re hoping to get out of the Therapy Intensive. Sessions are available in **3-4 hour blocks** and can be scheduled over a weekend or spread out over multiple weeks—whatever fits your needs best. Each intensive is customized** to your specific goals as a couple.

  • Can a Therapy Intensive Supplement My Ongoing Therapy?  

    Absolutely! Therapy Intensives can be a powerful **complement** to your ongoing work with your current therapist. If you’re interested in this, we would ask that you sign a **Release of Information** so we can collaborate with your therapist to ensure the best support for you. We also provide your therapist an E-book to introduce them to Intensives. 

  • Are Therapy Intensives Covered by Insurance? 

    Therapy Intensives are most likely not covered by insurance, but if you have **out-of-network benefits**, your insurance company may reimburse part of the cost of the entire intensive.
