Power Weekends for Intensive Marriage Counseling

---

“Intensive therapy” is also referred to as “Power Weekends,”. Intensive marriage counseling encompasses two to three full days, six or seven hours per day, with shorter follow-up sessions afterward as needed. “Power Weekends” are designed for people who must travel to be seen by us, and/or for professional clients who have difficulty scheduling weekly sessions into their lives. Because of these reasons, we offer these intensive "Power Weekends"  that last for several consecutive days.  Prior to coming in, you both will separately complete the Gottman assessment packet.  The packet contains several questionnaires about the current state of your relationship, as well as, what it is you hope to achieve during therapy. We counsel/coach as a couple to provide a balanced perspective from both points of view and also to provide extra attention during this compact time frame. Michelle and I will conduct a brief interview over the phone and review your questionnaire answers prior to the session. This allows us to set goals ahead of time.

The following criteria would preclude a couple from doing a couples counseling “Power Weekend” as they would need more intensive private therapy and/or individual therapy or intervention: 

   · If there is active alcohol and/or drug addiction that is not being addressed by a recovery program. 

   · If there is serious violence in your relationship, threats by one or both partners that serious violence might occur, or fear of serious violence. 

   · If either partner currently has an untreated major mental illness (schizophrenia, bipolar, or dissociative identity disorder.) 

   · If there is an undisclosed, or current affair that either partner is unwilling to give up 

   · If either partner is currently experiencing suicidal or homicidal thoughts, or has a history of serious suicide attempts or harm to others.
