Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy Intensive with Andy PRice
Dive deep into your relationship and create meaningful change.
Couples intensives are designed to get to the root of the issue
Relationships can be one of the most meaningful aspects of our lives. But when something feels off, everything else can feel harder.
You may be:
Feeling stuck in recurring cycles or emotional distance.
Healing and rebuilding after a breach of trust
Wanting to build emotional closeness
Navigating sexuality and intimacy concerns
Finding that weekly couples sessions aren’t enough time or depth, or your busy schedule makes scheduling weekly sessions challenging
Couples intensives with Andy are perfect for Queer partnerships and those looking to understand the patterns that fuel their disconnection through Emotionally Focused Therapy.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
I use emotionally focused therapy to help couples connect in new ways. I'll guide you in interrupting stuck patterns, expressing core needs safely, and developing communication that strengthens emotional safety. Together, we can slow things down and connect with what's really happening under the surface. Through therapy, you can feel truly and deeply understood.
Queer Partnerships & Non-monogamous Relationships
I also help queer and trans clients navigate questions about identity and sexuality. Therapy offers a place to talk openly about these concerns, especially as it relates to relationships. As a queer and trans person myself, I provide the opportunity to work with someone who “gets it.”
Why choose a weekend intensive?
✓ Intensive, focused therapy over one or two days (equivalent to weeks or months of weekly sessions!)
✓ Intentional time away from daily stressors to focus on your relationship
✓ Get help navigating a stuck spot or rebuilding trust after a breach of trust

Protecting Your Investment
The Intensive After-Care Plan
After an intensive, couples often describe feeling a "vulnerability hangover"—you’ve done months of work in a few days and need a bridge back to daily life. Our plan ensures the momentum gained isn't lost to the "real world" routine.
-
Low Stimulation: Avoid scheduling high-stress meetings or large social gatherings immediately following the intensive.
Emotional Processing: Give each other grace; you may feel emotionally "raw" or tired after such deep work.
No Big Decisions: Unless the goal of the intensive was a specific "discernment" outcome, wait a few days before implementing major life changes discussed during the intensive.
-
Scheduled "State of the Union": Set a weekly 20-minute meeting to use the communication tools learned during the intensive.
The "Witnessing" Practice: Actively practice the "witnessing" technique—hearing your partner's truth without taking it on as your own burden.
Small Wins: Focus on one specific "new habit" (like a daily 6-second kiss or a specific appreciation) rather than trying to fix everything at once.
-
Check-In Sessions: Schedule 1–2 follow-up 90-minute sessions over the next month to "fine-tune" the tools in your natural environment.
Resource Review: Re-read the handouts or notes from your intensive during your weekly check-in to keep the concepts fresh.
