Couples Therapy Intensives in Oklahoma & North Carolina
Sometimes a weekly therapy hour just isn’t enough. When couples are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or in need of a breakthrough, a Couples Therapy Intensive offers the time and space to go deeper. At Trellis Therapy, we provide 1-day, 2-day, and 3-day intensives that allow couples to step away from the distractions of daily life and focus fully on their relationship.
Our intensives are designed for couples who want accelerated progress, whether you’re facing ongoing conflict, recovering from betrayal, or simply longing to reconnect. With a combination of structured guidance, evidence-based approaches, and time for reflection, our goal is for you to leave with clarity, tools, and renewed hope for your relationship.
Why Choose a Couples Intensive?
Intensives provide a concentrated experience that can lead to faster healing and deeper connection than traditional weekly sessions. This immersive format allows you to:
-
Address patterns that feel “stuck” or unresolvable
-
Rebuild trust after infidelity or emotional wounds
-
Strengthen communication and conflict resolution skills
-
Deepen intimacy and emotional safety
-
Gain a clear roadmap for continued growth after the intensive
Many couples describe intensives as a turning point in their relationship, a spot where they had an opportunity to slow down, reconnect, and begin moving forward again.
What to Expect
Each intensive is customized to your relationship and integrates Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), the Gottman Method, and Internal Family Systems (IFS). Depending on the length you choose, your intensive may include:
-
Guided exercises to build understanding and empathy
-
Space for meaningful conversations without time constraints or distractions
-
Practical tools for communication and connection
-
Opportunities to repair and rebuild after hurt or disconnection
You can choose from:
-
1-Day Intensive (6 hours) | A focused reset for couples wanting to grow in relationship skills in a short timeframe.
-
2-Day Intensive (12 hours) | A deeper dive into relationship dynamics, with time for practice and reflection.
-
3-Day Intensive (18 hours) | The most comprehensive option, allowing for significant exploration, healing, and direction for long-term change.
Individual & Family Intensives

Frequently Asked Questions About Couples Therapy Intensives
How do I know if an intensive is right for us?
Intensives are ideal for couples who want to make significant progress in a short period of time, whether you’re navigating a crisis, feeling stuck, or simply want to reconnect deeply. Your therapist will discuss with you on the free phone consultation if you are a good fit for an intensive. Couples therapy intensives are contraindicated if there is violence, an active affair, and active substance abuse. Your therapist can make appropriate recommendations if your relationship is experiencing any of these issues.
Do we need to be in crisis to attend an intensive?
Not at all. While intensives can be incredibly helpful in moments of distress, many couples choose this format to strengthen their bond, address communication patterns, or prioritize their relationship.
What is the price of the intensives?
The price depends on what intensive timeframe you choose (1-day, 2-days, or 3-days). Please call or email to inquire about the exact pricing structure.
Is an intensive the same as a retreat?
No, our intensives are therapeutic and personalized to your relationship, not a group workshop. You’ll work one-on-one with a licensed therapist in a focused, private setting.
Can we do an intensive online?
Yes. Intensives can be done virtually in both Oklahoma and North Carolina, or in person at our Oklahoma City / Edmond office. North Carolina in-person intensives may be available depending on location and scheduling.
What happens after the intensive?
You’ll leave with a clear plan and tools to support ongoing growth. Many couples continue with follow-up sessions and integrate what they’ve learned into their daily lives.
