Our marathon couples therapy gives you dedicated, immersive time to reconnect.
What we can help with
What to Expect
Marathon couples therapy is an intensive alternative to weekly counselling, run over consecutive days.
Marathon couples therapy uses the Gottman Approach to help you and your partner understand each other emotionally and cognitively, while building new tools for conflict resolution and connection. Each day is structured around 3–4 sessions of 90–120 minutes, with breaks and reflective exercises built in throughout. Your program includes an assessment and customised treatment plan, tailored resources and materials, light refreshments, and two 1-hour follow-up sessions to be used within 6 weeks.
We offer two formats: a 2-day program (8 hours of therapy) priced at $4,500 on weekdays or $5,500 on a weekend, and a 3-day program (13 hours of therapy) priced at $5,500 on weekdays or $6,500 on a weekend. Both require an $850 deposit, with the balance due 14 days before your session.
Good To Know
Marathon couples therapy isn't recommended in situations involving active alcohol or drug addiction, serious violence or threats of violence, untreated major mental illness, an undisclosed or ongoing affair, or suicidal or homicidal thoughts or a history of serious harm — please get in touch to discuss what might be a better fit if any of this applies to you. It's also worth knowing that this kind of intensive work can bring up uncomfortable emotions, such as sadness, guilt, shame, anxiety, anger, loneliness or helplessness, and it asks for a good-faith effort from both partners.
As Gottman Institute co-founder Julie Gottman puts it: "Marathon sessions get so much momentum. Couples are so focused on their relationship that they really move through interventions and process attachment injuries much quicker."
