What is Couples Bootcamp?
Couples Bootcamp is a powerful way to accelerate the healing that you would experience in a typical couples therapy session. Rather than going to couples counseling for an hour session once a week, you will set aside a specific chunk of time - 3 hours on a Saturday or Sunday - for intensive therapeutic work. It is a concentrated way to get the power of therapeutic healing without having time in between sessions. It helps couples journey deeper and feel better faster.
Why do our Couples Bootcamp?
You want to experience deep therapeutic work that can change your lives
You are experiencing resentment, miscommunication, and insecurity about your relationship following the birth of your child
You have done couples counseling before and found it helpful for your healing and relationship
You want to prepare yourselves mentally and emotionally for the rest of your parenthood journey
You already go to weekly couples therapy and you feel stuck or on the verge of a break through.
How does it work?
Prior to our Couples Bootcamp, you and your partner will meet with one of our licensed relationship experts for a brief Pre-Intensive Interview to ensure that our program is a good-fit for your needs and wants.
After the Pre-Intensive Interview, you and your partner will each complete separate 55-minute intake appointments, where we will look at what your life looks like now (your support system, stressors, ways to cope, and places you want relief, growth, or to take a big step forward). Also at this appointment, you will receive the Couples Assessment Builder. It is mandatory that each partner completes the Couples Assessment Builder before officially starting our Couples Bootcamp.
During your personalized 3-hour Couples Bootcamp, you and your partner will work side-by side with our licensed couples therapist to improve your relationship and reignite the spark! Our relationship experts customize the program and the treatment modalities based on the unique answers and feedback provided by you and your partner on the Couples Assessment Builder. As you can see, this experience is personalized just for you!

Couples Bootcamp can help:
Strengthen Your Bond - Develop a sense of unity after having children. It’s possible to create a shared purpose and strengthen your partnership!
Address Shifts in Priorities - Shift the focus back to the relationship
Recognize Changes in Intimacy - Fatigue, stress, or lack of time may lead to a decrease in sexual activity
Division of Labor - If one partner feels they are taking on more than their fair share, it can lead to resentment and conflict
Tackle Communication Challenges - Misunderstandings and unmet expectations can increase as couples navigate the new demands of parenting
Time Management - Finding time for each other can become more difficult

FAQs About Couples Intensives
-
Your Pre-Intensive Interview and individual intake appointments are completed virtually.
The main portion of the Couples Bootcamp can be done online or in-person at our Arlington, VA office. Our Couples Bootcamp is similar to going on a couples retreat. It’s best to allow time outside of sessions to be unscheduled or filled only with self-care activities like exercise, body work (acupuncture or massage), and creative expression – drawing, painting, cooking.

No. Everything you do during the Couples Bootcamp is personal and private. Most couples are hesitant to share their most intimate details in a group setting. We are able to witness significant growth within a private environment.

Couples Bootcamps give you the results you would get from months of couples therapy in a much shorter period of time. If you add up the cost of weekly therapy, a Couples Bootcamp is actually more cost effective. Instead of waiting months, your relationship will get the same results in a few days.
