Couples therapy intensives in Colorado Springs
When the same argument keeps coming back, it gets harder to find your way back to each other.
I'm Sarah Post Massey, a licensed marriage and family therapist in Colorado Springs, and my couples intensive gives you and your partner focused time to understand what's happening beneath the conflict and practice new ways of connecting.
A format built around your workweek
Many couples intensives run as full-day or half-day sessions.
My program uses two 90-minute sessions a week for four weeks, built around your work schedule instead of a weekend retreat.
How much does a couples therapy intensive cost?
Eight sessions cost $2,000 total, the same structure as my EMDR intensive.
If you prefer to spread the cost out, I offer a payment plan of $500 a week.
A consultation comes first, so we can talk through your situation and confirm this format fits for you and your partner.
What we focus on together
Your conflict cycle. We name the triggers, the protective reactions, and the unmet needs that keep you stuck in the same fight.
Attachment styles. We look at how each of you experiences closeness, trust, and emotional safety.
Communication. You practice expressing needs, listening with curiosity, and repairing after disagreements.
Past trauma. Individual EMDR sessions give each of you space to work through experiences that keep getting triggered inside the relationship, paced to what you're ready for.
This program combines couples work with individual EMDR sessions, as clinically appropriate. Your four-week plan is personalized to your relationship. If trauma processing needs more time than the intensive allows, we'll talk about what comes next.
My goal for your four weeks is simple: you respond to each other with more understanding, you build real emotional safety, and you make room for connection again.
Is a couples intensive the right format for us?
This format tends to fit if:
You're having the same fight on repeat and want to understand what's underneath it
You want focused time for your relationship without taking a weekend away
You're both willing to do individual EMDR work if what's showing up between you traces back to something that happened before the relationship
You can commit to two sessions a week, together, for four weeks
Frequently asked questions
-
Not necessarily. Individual EMDR sessions are part of the program when past experiences are getting triggered inside the relationship. We'll decide together whether that applies to you.
-
Some couples need more time than one intensive provides. We'll talk about what's next at your final session, whether that's a second intensive or moving to regular couples sessions.
