Individual and Couples Therapy Intensives for Lasting Change

Making meaningful progress in therapy doesn’t have to take months. Our individual and couples therapy intensives give you the time, space, and expert support to dive deep and create lasting change over just a few days. Whether you’re working through personal challenges or preparing for marriage, our intensives provide the focused, supportive environment you need to grow.

Our Individual & Couples Therapy Intensives in Oshawa

Our individual and couples therapy intensives in Oshawa are longer than typical sessions, ranging anywhere from 3 hours to 3 days. During a therapy intensive, you work with one therapist the whole time. Intensives can be structured for individual therapy, couples therapy, premarital therapy, and family therapy.

Intensives compress the content and experience you would achieve through traditional, shorter therapy sessions and allow you to experience new insights, breakthroughs, and healing in a shorter amount of time.

Is Intensive Relationship Therapy Right For You?

Taking the first step toward healing or growth can feel overwhelming, but our intensive relationship therapy sessions provide a safe, supportive space to help you move forward. One of our therapy intensives might be the perfect fit if:

You’re tired of feeling stuck and are ready to make significant progress in a short amount of time.

You’re planning on getting married and want to set yourselves up for a long and happy life together.

You live a busy life or work a demanding career and also want to make your relationship or your personal growth a priority.

You and your partner are struggling with communication and want to better understand each other and rebuild your connection.
