Couple's Intensives


Private Couple's Intensives

Couples intensives are a chance to do focused work together to shift things in your relationship. Similar to a couple’s retreat or workshop except this time is private and geared specifically to your concerns. You come for 2-3 days and we spend 6 or more hours together in sessions. You will also have time to explore together, reconnect and relax in beautiful Capitola and leave with changes that will enhance your relationship for years to come.

Intensives with Melissa are great for

  • Those who want to restart and reconnect
  • Couples who have felt stuck in the same patterns
  • Couples at a turning point who need to find the next step
  • Couples at the beginning of a commitment who want tools to be successful
  • Couples looking to increase their intimacy and sexual energy
  • People renegotiating open relationship or monogamy agreements
  • People already working with a therapist who want a space to focus on sexual issues
  • People who find committing to weekly therapy too difficult
  • People who find group workshops intimidating or uncomfortable
  • People who travel a distance to work with Melissa

Your Intensive includes

  • A pre-intensive phone consultation
  • At least 6 hours session time
  • Explorations to try during your intensive time
  • A practical take-home plan
  • Consultation with your local couple’s therapist, if you request

Melissa offers limited Intensives each year, so schedule in advance.
