Northeast GA Counseling offers couples intensives to address relationship crises or stagnation. Led by Lisa Campbell, LCSW, CGT, these 6 hour sessions use Gottman, RLT, EFT, and other methodologies to provide expedited counseling over 1–2 days.
Interested couples should schedule a 15 min consultation to discuss fees, scheduling, and required assessments before booking.
Sessions will be available in person or online. We look forward to the opportunity to discuss it with you!
Most couples don't start out looking for an intensive. You may have tried books, podcasts, or traditional therapy but still haven't made the progress you hoped for. You find yourselves having the same conversations and conflicts over and over again, yet you're not ready to give up. There is often so much at stake: years of shared history, children, friendships, family, and the life you've built together. You may begin to wonder, is there something more we can do?
For some couples, problems have been building for years until they reach what Dr. John Gottman calls the "cusp of catastrophe"—a turning point when relationship distress becomes something deeper and more difficult to ignore. This may follow a betrayal, a major rupture, or years of unresolved conflict. What was once frustration may now feel like unbearable loneliness, resentment, anger, or emotional disconnection.
Other couples may feel completely stuck in their communication, unable to understand or accept each other's perspectives. The person who was once their closest companion no longer feels like a source of comfort or support.
This is where a couples intensive can make a difference. Rather than continuing the same patterns in weekly sessions, an intensive creates the time, space, and continuity needed to explore deeper issues, work through difficult emotions, and begin making meaningful changes with the guidance of an experienced therapist.
Couples intensives may be especially helpful for those who:
•Feel stuck in recurring conflicts or unhealthy communication patterns.
•Are navigating a crisis, such as infidelity, betrayal, separation, or a significant loss.
•Want to rebuild trust and connection after emotional distance or relationship distress.
•Need more time to work through difficult conversations and emotions than weekly sessions allow.
•Have busy schedules that make consistent weekly therapy challenging.
You and your partner will work exclusively with me in a private therapy session, having my full attention and 31 years of experience in couples therapy for the entire day or two.
Each day includes up to 6 hours of therapy. This includes pacing of material, and use of pulse oximeters if needed, to identify flooding and slow down patterns, helping to create an environment of safety and trust, giving you the opportunity to lower your defenses. Intensives offer a singular focus on making the changes you need to make in your relationship. There is space for each partner to feel heard, understood, and compassionately challenged. The aim is not only to address current issues but also to deepen insight, emotional connection, and constructive relational skills. You will also be encouraged to be followed monthly for a while to maintain the progress made. Please read our terms and conditions for more information on the exact schedule and plan for the 2 days.
Embarking on this journey is an investment in your relationship's future. Whether you're hoping to feel closer, rebuild trust, or develop better communication, we're here to support you every step of the way.
