Understanding the power of intensive couples therapy.
Traditional weekly therapy sessions, while valuable, can sometimes feel disjointed or slow-moving for couples facing significant challenges. This is where intensive couples therapy comes in. Our couples weekend intensive offers a concentrated, immersive experience that allows for deep, uninterrupted work on your relationship.
Intensive couples counseling is particularly beneficial for couples who:
- Have complex schedules that make weekly sessions challenging
- Are in the midst of a relationship crisis or high conflict
- Need to make a significant decision in a short timeframe
- Have neglected their relationship for years and need a jumpstart
- Are considering divorce and want to thoroughly explore their options
Our intensive couples therapy retreat provides the time and space needed to fully engage with these issues, offering the potential for breakthrough insights and transformative change.
Get StartedThe unique benefits of our couples intensives:
Our couples weekend intensive offers several distinct advantages. With 5-6 hours of therapy each day, you’ll benefit from focused attention, allowing you to dive deep into issues without interruption. The intensive format creates momentum, enabling you to build on insights and progress without the week-long gaps of traditional therapy. You’ll have ample opportunity to learn and immediately practice new relationship skills, reinforcing positive changes. For couples in crisis, our intensive can provide rapid, focused intervention when it’s needed most. Additionally, our weekend therapy format can be easier to schedule than ongoing weekly sessions, making it a convenient option for couples with busy lives.

Our approach to intensive couples counseling:
At the Therapy for Women Center, our couples intensive is based on the renowned Gottman Method, a highly effective, research-based approach to couples therapy. Our intensive is designed to help you understand your relationship dynamics, improve communication, and develop practical skills for managing conflict and deepening connection.
Here’s what you can expect from our intensive couples weekend:
- Comprehensive Assessment: We begin with a thorough evaluation of your relationship strengths and challenges.
- Focused Intervention: Based on the assessment, we design targeted interventions to address your specific needs.
- Skill Building: You’ll learn and practice essential relationship skills, from effective communication to emotional regulation.
- Conflict Resolution: We’ll help you navigate difficult conversations and develop strategies for managing ongoing conflicts.
- Connection Strengthening: You’ll engage in exercises designed to deepen your emotional intimacy and strengthen your bond.
Our intensive couples therapy retreat takes place over 2-3 consecutive days, usually a weekend, allowing for deep, uninterrupted work. Sessions are held in our comfortable, private offices in Old City, Philadelphia or our Main Line location in Bala Cynwyd.

While both offer intensive work, our couples weekend is more focused and personalized than a typical retreat. Unlike large group retreats, our intensive provides one-on-one attention from a skilled therapist, tailored specifically to your relationship’s needs. It’s held in our private office, offering a more intimate and confidential setting than a retreat center.
Absolutely! While intensive couples therapy can be crucial for couples in crisis, it’s also extremely beneficial for couples who simply want to strengthen their relationship or work through long-standing issues. Our couples weekend can help any couple looking to deepen their connection and improve their relationship skills.
At this time, we only offer our couples intensives in person, at our three Philadelphia area offices. However, we have had couples from other states fly to Philadelphia to participate.
Our couples intensives are lead by our most senior couples therapists, Melissa Huff Smoldt and Fern Valentin. They charge $1200 for the weekend (which is far less per hour than an individual session). We require a $500 deposit to secure your spot.
