A Couples Intensive is an opportunity for couples to hit the reset button.

Couples Intensives offer rapid change for couples looking to get a jump-start on the counseling process. Intensives range from 1-3 days, depending on the specific needs of each couple. The extended time that Intensives provide, gives couples the opportunity to “unpack” all of the major problems that have been creating frustration, anger, distance and sadness. I am able to quickly identify the core issues, enabling the healing process to begin almost immediately.

Intensives are tailored to each individual couple and provide focused attention on the health and healing of the relationship. I teach couples my method of communication and they learn how to have productive conversations about difficult subjects like; sex, money, infidelity, parenting, alcohol and other sensitive issues, without getting angry or shutting down. Couples’ report that they find intensives to be “extremely impactful”, “life-changing”, “it saved our marriage.”

Vulnerability is a crucial ingredient that is necessary for healing to begin. Clients need to feel safe and respected to be able to drop their defenses and be vulnerable. On my watch, neither partner is the “bad guy” and blame is never the focus (despite infidelity or other “bad behaviors”). Intensives can be game-changers. Couples have the chance to see their partners from a different lens and this experience can be eye-opening. I help clients create a new foundation for the relationship that is solid and it has staying power. This is an opportunity to hit the reset button, and essentially, partners can have a do-over.

Couples Intensives leave partners feeling hopeful, closer and optimistic about their future. Intensives can produce the same results (or even more significant) as months of traditional couples counseling. Most couples continue to work on their relationships by engaging in follow-up sessions and some schedule quarterly, bi-yearly or yearly intensives as a ‘refresher course’, to stay on track and to address new issues that inevitably arise.

What People Are Saying

I reached out to Deborah over a year ago. I was at an all-time low in both my personal and professional life. I was dealing with deep-seated conflicts with toxic personalities. One of my business partners was bullying me, making false accusations, and exhibiting threatening behavior. Ultimately, this affected my mental health, physical health, my overall happiness and sense of well-being.

I lacked the self-confidence needed to stand-up for my values and lacked the self-worth to believe I deserved better. The professional help and support Deborah gave me changed my life both personally and professionally. Deborah empowered me to articulate my feelings and helped me understand the issues at hand in a way that gave me the clarity necessary to move forward. After a short time working with her, my self-confidence improved tremendously. I began feeling fulfilled and content. Our work together translated to my interactions with my co-workers as well as within my personal life. I became self-assured and calm in high pressure situations. Because I can now stand up for myself, especially to this toxic partner, I am more productive at work and capable of handling setbacks and adversities in a constructive way.

Deborah helped me find myself.

Deborah has the instinctual ability to know what her client needs at any given time, and how to best tailor each session accordingly. I credit a lot of who I am today as a result of the help she has provided for me. I plan to continue my work with Deborah and I look forward to continued personal and professional growth. I recommend Deborah to anyone looking to improve any aspects of their business or personal life.

Deborah is professional, responsive and most importantly – she is 100% relatable. She is so in-tune with her clients expressions and body language that they don’t have to speak too much for her to know what’s going on! She has an easy way of sparking conversations; making one feel comfortable and safe; and there is a willingness to connect, as opposed to just being a sounding

board. I highly recommend Deborah Krevalin
