Couples Therapy & Intensives
Ongoing couples counseling and immersive intensives to help you reconnect, repair, and build a relationship that truly works.
Couples therapy & intensives
We offer two ways to work with couples. Ongoing couples counseling provides consistent, weekly support to help you navigate conflict, deepen connection, and grow together over time. Couples intensives are a concentrated format — typically 2 to 4 days of extended sessions — designed for couples who want to move faster, work through long-standing patterns, or need more than weekly therapy can offer. Both formats are grounded in the same evidence-based approach and tailored to your unique relationship.
Our approach
Our work with couples is grounded in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT), one of the most well-researched approaches in the field, with EMDR available for trauma-informed processing when needed. We combine structured assessment, attachment-based work, and somatic integration to help couples understand their patterns, repair ruptures, and build lasting change.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
An attachment-based model that helps couples identify negative cycles, access deeper emotions, and create secure, lasting bonds — backed by decades of research.
EMDR for couples
Trauma-informed processing that helps each partner heal individual wounds that show up in the relationship, reducing reactivity and creating more space for connection.
Somatic integration
Body-based practices that help regulate the nervous system, create safety in the room, and support deeper emotional processing for both partners.
Retreat intensives
Take your work somewhere transformative
Our couples retreat intensives take the deep work out of the office and into immersive settings — from the beaches of Costa Rica to Morocco and Sri Lanka. Combining EFT, EMDR, and somatic practices in a retreat environment creates a level of depth and shift that's simply not possible in a weekly 50-minute session.
Who we work with
Couples intensives & standard couples therapy
All couples work begins with a thorough assessment — including individual sessions with each partner and a joint session — so we understand your history, your patterns, and your goals. From there, we design a customized plan, whether that's ongoing weekly sessions or a multi-day intensive. Most couples leave with a clearer understanding of their dynamic, concrete tools, and a renewed sense of possibility.
Duration: Weekly sessions or 2–4 day intensives
Location: Portland, OR (in-person) or retreat format
Fees & payment
We are private pay only for all couples work. This is an intentional choice — staying outside of insurance allows us to work without restrictions, tailor the length and format of sessions to what you actually need, and protect your privacy. Standard EFT couples therapy (60 minutes) is $195 per session. Couples intensives and EMDR sessions (90 minutes) are $225 per session. Rates may vary by treatment type and clinician. Payment plans are available through Stripe — reach out to learn more.
