In-depth pattern recognition and insight development to improve communication, gain decision-making clarity, and create opportunity for true intimacy. Best suited for couples looking to jumpstart their progress, address one specific area of concern, or engage in couples therapy without a weekly commitment.
Couples intensives (also called Couples Therapy Intensives or Couples Therapy Workshops) are focused, extended sessions designed to support partners make meaningful progress over a short period of time. Instead of weekly sessions, couples spend several hours (over one or two days) with a trained therapist to develop an in-depth understanding of what’s keeping you stuck and to begin creating change in real time. Many couples value this approach as it creates momentum, clarity, and renewed hope much more quickly than traditional couples therapy.
Intensives are helpful for couples who are caught in recurring conflicts, facing a major decision, healing after a betrayal, or wanting to (re)connect more deeply. The longer format allows partners to move beyond surface-level content, identify underlying emotions and needs, and practice new ways of communicating with each other.
Identify patterns of interaction, learn vital skills to create new dynamics and respond more skillfully to each other’s needs.
Navigate the return to daily life, safely process its impact, and gain clarity on how to move forward together or apart.
Explore the overt and covert elements of your relationship that move you and your partner closer or farther apart, and develop skills to promote vulnerability, empathy, and relationship satisfaction.
Clarify the boundaries of your current relationship and implement changes with integrity to set you and your partner up for interpersonal success.
Create a greater understanding of the patterns that keep you stuck in familiar arguments and develop skills to have the conversations you actually want to have.
Engage in effective communication to navigate the upcoming or recent transition with honesty, clarity, and compassion.

Insurance providers do not currently offer coverage or reimbursement for couples intensives. Therefore, all intensives conducted through JP Psychotherapy are private pay.
Extended, focused intensives allow for meaningful insight and skill development and effectively remove the barrier of coordinating between you and your partner’s busy schedules.
All couples intensives are conducted through a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform, unless an in-person format is specifically requested by the couple. Couples located in or traveling to MA or CT are seen in-person at an agreed upon site, vetted for privacy and comfort by JP Psychotherapy. Please note that lodging is not included in the Couples Intensives rate.
Couples Intensives work best when both partners are willing to engage honestly and are motivated to make changes individually and as a couple. Our clients throughout Greater Boston and Massachusetts tend to share certain qualities:
Whether you’re ready to begin therapy or just exploring if it’s right for you, the first step is to schedule your free 15-minute consultation call.
Greater Boston Area & Massachusetts (All Cities)
Connecticut, Florida and South Carolina (statewide) through our secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform
Instead of weekly 50-minute sessions, you’ll spend several uninterrupted hours working through patterns in real time, which allows for deeper exploration, skill-building, and momentum without “resetting” each week.
Often, yes, but not always. This is why your free consultation is a vital step in determining what therapy is likely to best support you and your partner during this time.
This is common, especially after betrayal. We create space for honesty while managing the consequences of difficult truths. If trust has been broken, rebuilding it requires transparency, which we facilitate safely.
Yes, many couples benefit from both. Individual therapy addresses personal patterns while couples therapy works on relationship dynamics. Having both can enhance progress in each.
Understandable concern. Sometimes one partner is more ready than the other. We can discuss this during a consultation, sometimes individual therapy for the motivated partner creates enough change to shift the relationship.
Therapy effectiveness depends heavily on approach, therapist fit, and timing. A previous unhelpful experience doesn't mean couples therapy won't work, it may mean the approach or therapist wasn't right for you.
Yes! We serve clients throughout Massachusetts, from Boston to Western Mass, North Shore to Cape Cod. As long as you're physically located in Massachusetts, Florida or South Carolina during sessions, we can work together via secure telehealth.
Currently we offer daytime availability throughout the week. If you need evening or weekend sessions, please contact us to discuss options or we can provide referrals to other qualified therapists with different schedules.
If this is more up your alley, send us a message in our contact form about your interest, and we’ll reach out to you with more information!
