Couples Crisis Intensive

A Specialized 1–2 Day Therapeutic Intensive for Couples in the Aftermath of Betrayal

When relational betrayal surfaces, life can shift instantly.

Partners often describe feeling disoriented, unsafe, and unsure where to turn next. Our Couples Crisis Intensive is designed to meet couples at this exact moment—providing immediate structure, clarity, and a compassionate plan forward, centered around the needs of the betrayed partner.

This intensive is individualized, high-touch, and intentionally grounded in the CSAT model to stabilize the relationship so real therapeutic work can begin.

Who the intensive is for:

Couples navigating sexual betrayal, infidelity, compulsive sexual behavior, or relational crisis

Betrayed partners needing safety, clarity, and direction

Couples unsure whether to continue together but wanting a structured, clinically guided process

Relationships requiring immediate intervention before long-term therapy begins
