Couples 2-Day Intensive: a relationship reset.
Roughly 12 focused, immersive hours with an EFT couples therapist over two days. Complete in a weekend what would normally take 5 to 6 months of weekly therapy.
Intensives begin with a free 30-minute phone consult to ensure fit and readiness.
Deep work, fast.
The Couples 2-Day Intensive gives you roughly 12 hours of focused, uninterrupted time with a skilled EFT couples therapist. No waiting for the next weekly session. No losing momentum between appointments. Just two days dedicated entirely to understanding your relationship at a deeper level and creating real change.
Emotionally Focused Therapy is the gold-standard, research-backed approach to couples work and the APA's top-recommended modality for relationship therapy. Completing the 2-day intensive is roughly equivalent to 5 to 6 months of weekly couples sessions: it's effective, efficient and designed for couples who are ready to do the work.
You'll leave with a clearer understanding of your cycle, new ways of reaching for each other, and a roadmap for continuing the work together.

Is this right for you?
A boost to current therapy
If you're already in couples therapy and want to accelerate progress or break through a stuck point.
A highly focused deep-dive
For couples who want to do significant work but can't commit to weekly sessions over many months.
Couples who keep getting stuck
When the same arguments replay no matter what you try, an intensive creates space to finally map and shift the cycle.
Repair from past or recent injuries
Infidelity, betrayal, a breach of trust — intensives offer contained, supported space to begin repair.
Preventative strengthening
For couples who are doing well and want to invest in resilience, depth and a stronger bond before challenges arise.
Wanting more resilience
Life is full of stressors. Build the emotional muscle to navigate them together, not apart.
What you'll take away.
Two days, one focus: your relationship.
Day 1
Day 2
Brief breaks and light snacks are provided throughout both days. Your therapist remains available to guide the process, manage the emotional pace and ensure both partners feel supported.
Set yourself up for success.
Read Hold Me Tight®
Dr. Sue Johnson's book introduces the core concepts of EFT in a warm, accessible way. Many couples say reading it before the intensive deepened their experience.
Treat it like a retreat
Clear your calendar. Plan for rest, good food and self-care between sessions. The work is deep: give yourself space to process and recover.
Arrange follow-up sessions
The intensive creates momentum. One or two follow-up sessions help you integrate what you've learned and keep building on it.
When it may not be the right fit.
A 2-day intensive is a significant commitment. In some situations, it may not be the right format. A free phone consult helps us determine fit together, and if the intensive isn't right for you, we'll offer referrals to resources that are.
There is an active, ongoing affair that a partner is unwilling to pause for the intensive
One or both partners are struggling with active, unaddressed addiction
There is active intimate-partner violence or abuse in the relationship
Partners are not committed to the same goals or one partner is being coerced into attending
Long periods of close contact are triggering and destabilising for one or both partners
Ready to reset?
Every intensive begins with a free, no-pressure phone consult. We'll talk about where you are, where you want to be and whether this format is the right fit.
$1,000 — $3,000 · 4-hour and 1-day options are also available
Consider the cost of not working on your relationship. The average divorce in the United States costs over $15,000 — and that's just the financial side. An intensive is an investment in your future together, in the health of your family and in the quality of your daily life.
Restored Counseling & Wellness Center is a private-pay practice. Superbills are provided for out-of-network reimbursement, and we've partnered with Thrizer to make that process simple. HSA and FSA cards are accepted.
