Neurodiverse Couples Intensive Therapy

Our intensives are specifically designed for neurodiverse couples, using methods that work with neurodivergent brains. We focus on practical tools, concrete strategies, and immediate implementation rather than abstract concepts. The extended format allows for deeper work and breakthrough moments that often take months in traditional weekly therapy.

No! Our intensives work for all neurodiverse couples: both partners autistic, both with ADHD, mixed neurotypes (one neurodivergent, one neurotypical), or any combination. We tailor our approach to your specific dynamic and needs.

We've found that neurodiverse couples often actually prefer longer sessions because it gives them the time they need to fully process and work through important topics. We build in regular breaks, welcome fidget toys or anything else that helps you feel comfortable and regulated, allow for movement and stimming, and can adjust lighting and sound as needed. If preferred, we can also split longer sessions across multiple days. Your comfort and regulation come first—we want you to show up as your authentic selves.

We're fully prepared for this possibility. Our office has quiet spaces for regulation, we understand nervous system responses, and we'll work with whatever arises as part of your authentic experience. There's no shame or judgment - it's all valuable information for your relationship growth.

While every couple's experience is unique, many clients report feeling more understood and equipped with practical tools after their intensive. The extended format allows for deeper conversation and skill practice that often takes much longer in traditional weekly therapy. Your commitment to the process and willingness to practice new approaches will greatly influence your outcomes.

You'll need a reliable internet connection, a device with a camera and microphone (laptop, tablet, or smartphone), and a private space where you can talk freely. We use a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform. I'll send you simple connection instructions after booking, and we can test your setup during our consultation call.

Absolutely! You'll receive a comprehensive toolkit including worksheets, communication guides, sensory planning templates, and personalized strategies developed during your session. The 6-hour intensive also includes a 30-day follow-up call.

Intensives can be helpful for couples facing significant challenges, as the focused time allows us to address important issues and explore new ways of connecting. During our consultation, we'll honestly discuss whether an intensive feels appropriate for your situation or if other resources might be more beneficial first. Sometimes couples in crisis find the concentrated attention really valuable.

After booking, you'll receive preparation materials including relationship assessments and goal-setting exercises. We'll also discuss any accommodations needed during your consultation. The most important thing is creating a comfortable environment where you both feel safe to be yourselves.
