Relationship Intensives at Twelve Oaks
Deep, Transformative Work in a Nature-Grounded Setting
Couple or Relationship Intensives
What is a relationship Intensive?
A relationship intensive is concentrated couples/relationship therapy condensed into 1-3 days of focused, immersive work. Instead of weekly sessions spread over months, you dive deep into your relationship challenges and healing in a single weekend or series of days.
Intensives are powerful for couples who:
• Are at a crossroads and need clarity fast
• Want to make significant progress quickly
• Have tried traditional therapy and need something more
• Are preparing for marriage or a major life transition
• Are considering separation and want to give it one more real try
• Live far apart or have scheduling challenges
At Twelve Oaks, intensives happen in a private, nature-grounded setting away from daily distractions. The quiet, the space, and the beauty of the land all become part of your healing.

Accomodations
For couples traveling from a distance, or even those more local, there is not currently, on-site accommodations available. There are, however, several accommodation options in nearby communities. For those more local, we also encourage you to consider alternative accommodations for nights between intensive days rather than returning home to familiar environments and responsibilities if possible.
Investment
Therapy intensives are offered on a limited basis and costs depend on a variety of factors, such as the number of days provided for the intensive. After the consultation, we can give you a more accurate price.
