Couples Intensives (2 to 4+ hours) are conducted via Telehealth and provide a more focused, in-depth format for meaningful progress. Unlike traditional weekly therapy, extended sessions allow for uninterrupted work beyond surface-level conversations, helping create real momentum and change.
Service Areas: Licensed to practice in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Florida and California Offered in English and Portuguese
Who This Is For
Communication breakdowns and ongoing conflict
Emotional disconnection, loss of intimacy, or unresolved resentment
Major life transitions (children, career changes, role shifts)
Differences in communication styles or attachment patterns
Assessment:
We start with one session together as a couple, followed by individual sessions with each partner. This allows for a clear understanding of your relationship dynamics, history, and recurring patterns so I can understand what is and isn't working and how we can fix it collaboratively.
Progress Tracking:
Quiz style assessments in a private portal are used to evaluate individual and relationship functioning, including areas such as relationship satisfaction, depression, and anxiety. This helps guide treatment and track meaningful progress over time.
Frequency:
We begin with consistent weekly sessions to build momentum and establish some progress. As meaningful change occurs outside of sessions, frequency is adjusted, transitioning to biweekly or monthly.
Between-Session Work:
You will be provided with evidence-based tools and structured practices to apply between sessions, both individually and as a couple. This may include guided exercises, targeted assignments, and practical strategies designed to support lasting change. Progress is reflected in how these changes integrate into your daily life.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Approach:
Our work is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a research-supported approach focused on identifying patterns and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors toward effective, solution-focused change.
