Is your relationship at a breaking point? Are you and your partner feeling overwhelmed by conflict, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward?

When life’s challenges become too much to handle, intentional time dedicated to healing can make all the difference. Weekend Intensives through Serendipity Psychotherapy are designed for couples in crisis, couples who want to intentionally enrich their relationship, couples preparing for marriage, and those traveling from out of town to repair, rebuild, and reconnect in a focused, transformative setting.
Transform Your Relationship in Just One Weekend
For Couples Therapy
- Crisis Management: If your relationship feels like it’s unraveling, a weekend intensive offers immediate, focused support to stabilize and restore your connection.
- Intentional Time: Busy couples often struggle to carve out consistent time for therapy. A weekend intensive allows you to fully dedicate two days to your relationship without distractions without the commitment of attending weekly appointments.
- Rebuild and Repair: Address unresolved hurts, rebuild trust, and lay the foundation for a stronger future.
- Enrich and Reignite: Even couples not in crisis can benefit from deepening intimacy, improving communication, and strengthening their bond in a meaningful way.
- Preventative Measures: Build structures and strategies of managing conflict before it happens so that you both have a way of staying connected when it does.
