Evidence Based Couples Therapy
Why Gottman Intensive?
It Fits Your Schedule
Marathon therapy has the benefit of allowing you to schedule your therapy in a single large block of time. This is great for people who find it hard to commit to a weekly appointment due to busy or variable schedules.
What Should We Expect?
What Will Gottman Intensive Look Like?
- Consultation: 20 minutes
- The initial 20-minute consultation phone call is important to see if you feel comfortable with your therapist, ask questions, and see if there is mutual agreement that this type of Gottman Intensive is a good fit for you.
- Here we will also find a time slot that works for you.
Assessments: 5 Hours
- Relationship Assessments. You and your partner will separately complete online relationship assessments prior to starting therapy. These results offer thorough information on your relationship’s strengths and challenges.
- Couples Intake Session. The therapist will gather your hopes for therapy and the history of your relationship.
- Individual Sessions. The therapist will meet for 60 minutes with each partner separately.
- Feedback Session. The results of the relationship assessments are provided, and the recommended areas for intervention are discussed. You are both provided with a specialized treatment plan from which evidence-based interventions are selected.
Treatment: 10–20 hours
- Structured interventions designed to strengthen friendship, intimacy, and conflict management are introduced and practiced in each session. You will learn to replace negative conflict patterns with positive interactions, repair past hurts, and begin to create shared meaning and purpose in your relationship.
Follow Up
- It is recommended to have several follow-up sessions approximately 3–4 weeks apart after the initial marathon therapy. The time after marathon therapy offers you a chance to process all that you learned and addressed in the marathon sessions. It is also extremely important to have follow-up sessions to prevent relapse.
A Deeper Dive
What is Gottman Intensive?
- Gottman Intensive is an immersive and condensed therapy experience designed to create significant progress in a short amount of time. Unlike traditional weekly sessions, this intensive format allows us to dedicate a substantial block of time—typically over one to three days—to focus solely on your relationship.
- This approach is particularly effective for couples seeking rapid change, those in crisis, or those with busy schedules that make weekly appointments difficult. By dedicating a focused period to your relationship, you can break through long-standing issues, practice new skills in real-time, and build momentum for lasting change.
- For couples in Marysville, this format provides a powerful alternative to spread-out sessions, allowing you to make the most of your dedicated time together.
