Intensive sex and couples therapy

Ready to make a quick, lasting change in your sexual relationship?

Intensive couples therapy is designed to help you make drastic changes in your sex life, in less than one month. You'll be able to go deeper in less time while saving money.

The blended care program includes an online course, plus 13 hours of couples therapy combined with sex and intimacy counseling. It's the equivalent of around twelve, 90-minute therapy sessions.

Below is an example of a standard intensive format. You can also break up the intensive into a 90-minute intake, four 2 1/2-hour sessions spread over four weeks, and a 90-minute follow-up session.

Let's meet!

Talking about sex can be difficult and many couples are nervous taking the first step. I've got you covered! You're welcome to have a free 15-minute consult via phone or meet virtually, with or without your camera on.

Discover The Blended Care Couples Therapy Program

The blended care program incorporates an online course in sexuality with live therapy.

Sessions are integrative, and utilize both sex counseling and evidence-based couples therapy. For example, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Imago Dialogue, and The Gottman Method. Mindfulness-based interventions are also applied, when needed.

Online Course

The online course in sexuality includes videos, audios, mini e-books, short exercises, and reflection questions

Module 1: The Pleasure Model of Sex

You'll learn all about sex, starting with an anatomy lesson. But don't worry, this is not the sex education that you received in school! We'll be focusing on The Pleasure Model of Sex.

Module 2: Sexual Response and Orgasm

You'll learn about why we sometimes avoid sex and how men and women differ a bit when it comes to sexual response and orgasm. We'll also discuss sexual pressure and the orgasm gap.

Module 3: Expanding your Sex Script

You'll learn how to expand your sex script by creating a new sex menu that includes novelty and intimacy. We'll go over all the ingredients needed to enhance arousal and improve sexual satisfaction.

Module 4: Erotic Templates & Fantasies

You'll learn about erotic templates and the most common types of sexual fantasies. You'll then explore your own template by reflecting on your upbringing, societal influences and your unique desires.

What you'll Learn

During the couples therapy program you'll learn how to:

Emotionally reconnect

Figure out what really caused the emotional disconnect with your partner and work towards making a repair

Talk about sex

Practice new communication skills that will help you listen, validate, and empathize with your partner about sex

Reduce sexual shame

Discover your unique sexual template in order to reduce sexual shame and make peace with your sexuality

Understand desire

Recognize what inhibits and what ignites your desire, in order to be more open to new sexual experiences

Enhance satisfaction

Rediscover your partner and learn what they really desire in order to enhance the quality of sexual experiences together

Prioritize your sex life

Resolve blockages that prevent you from prioritizing sex, so that you look forward to sex and no longer see it as a chore

How it works

Below is the standard intensive therapy process.

Step 1: Free consult

Schedule a 15-minute free online consult where we can meet and I can answer any questions you might have. We'll assess your situation and will schedule your intake and intensive sessions.

Step 2: Pre-assessment

Enroll in the free online welcome course to pre-assess your situation and get to know how I work. The course takes between 45-60 minutes to complete and helps you prepare for your intake session.

Step 3: Intake Session

Your first couples therapy session is a 90-minute intake, where you'll share your story and we'll discuss your therapy goals. We'll get to the heart of the matter in order to jump-start your journey.

Step 4: Online Course

Between the intake and the first intensive session, you'll complete the first two modules of the online course. You'll finish the last two modules before the second intensive session.

Step 5: Intensive Sessions

You'll come to the office for two days of intensive therapy, spread over two weeks. Each day consists of a morning and an afternoon session, which are 2 1/2 hours each.

Step 6: Follow-up

After 1-3 months, we'll meet for a follow-up 90-minute session. We'll focus on areas where you might still be struggling and schedule additional sessions, if needed.
