RELATIONSHIP INTENSIVES
Fast-Track Your Healing, Deepen Connection, and Break Free from Negative Cycles
Are you feeling stuck in the same exhausting arguments? Has a recent crisis or betrayal left your relationship on fragile ground? Or do you simply feel like roommates, wishing you could rediscover the passion, emotional closeness, and mutual respect you once shared?
While traditional 50-minute weekly therapy sessions are effective, busy schedules and deep-seated challenges can sometimes make progress feel slow. Relationship Intensives at Changing Perceptions Therapy offer a focused, accelerated approach to help you achieve months of therapeutic work in just a few dedicated days.
WHAT IS A RELATIONSHIP INTENSIVE?
A Relationship Intensive is an extended, immersive therapeutic experience designed to give your relationship the dedicated time and space it needs to create real, lasting change.
Rather than stopping just as you begin to reach the core issues in a standard session, an intensive format allows us to dive deep into underlying patterns, resolve long-standing conflicts, and build practical relational skills without interruption.
Who Are Relationship Intensives for?
Relationship Intensives are ideal for couples who:
Are in Crisis: Navigating affairs, breaches of trust, or major life transitions that require immediate, dedicated intervention.
Feel Caught in Vicious Cycles: Tired of repeating the exact same communication breakdowns without resolution.
Have Busy Schedules: Executives, parents, and professionals who find it difficult to commit to weekly appointments.
Want Accelerated Progress: Seeking a jump-start to their therapeutic journey or needing dedicated time to tackle complex issues.
Are at a Crossroads: Considering discernment counseling to gain clarity on the future path of their relationship.
OUR SPECIALIZED APPROACH: RELATIONAL LIFE THERAPY (RLT)
At Changing Perceptions Therapy, our relationship intensives are facilitated by Janae Combs, M.A., LPC and Laura Cochling, M.Ed., LPC—both certified Relational Life Couples Therapists.
Using the Relational Life Therapy (RLT) framework, we go beyond basic surface-level communication exercises.

We work with you in real time to cultivate Full-Respect Living, authentic intimacy, and genuine accountability.

Communication & "Fighting Fair"

HOW IT WORKS: THE INTENSIVE FORMAT
1. Pre-Intensive Assessment & Preparation
Before your intensive begins, both partners complete a comprehensive individual assessment process. This allows us to understand your personal history, identify key relational patterns, and customize the intensive to your specific goals.
2. The Intensive Experience (1-Day or 2-Day Formats)
Conducted in an immersive, supportive environment, sessions are structured in multi-hour blocks (typically 3–6 hours per day with structured breaks). During this time, we will:
Map out your relationship's unique vicious cycles.
Uncover root causes, defenses, and unhelpful relational habits.
Learn and practice practical skills for authentic communication, boundary setting, and repair.
Re-establish trust, empathy, and emotional safety.
3. Post-Intensive Integration & Aftercare Plan
An intensive is a powerful catalyst for change, but long-term success relies on practice. At the conclusion of your intensive, you will receive a personalized aftercare plan and recommended follow-up sessions to keep your momentum going and solidify your new ways of relating.
READY TO TRANSFORM YOUR RELATIONSHIP?
Investing in a Relationship Intensive is an investment in the future of your partnership. Whether you need to heal old wounds, navigate a current crisis, or rediscover connection, we are here to support you.
Take the first step toward lasting relational change.
