    Accelerated Couples Intensive Therapy in Denver, Colorado

    -Does “traditional” 50 minute couples therapy leave you feeling like issues weren’t fully resolved in your session?

    -Is it hard to find time in your schedule for weekly or bi weekly therapy sessions as a couple? 

    -Do you repeat the same patterns of conflict without resolution? 

    -Has your relationship lost the emotional and physical intimacy you once had and you’d like to get the “spark” back? 

    If any of the above sound familiar then my Accelerated Couples Intensive Therapy is perfect for you! 

    **This is NOT a workshop or lecture but a one-on-one interactive therapy experience with Janelle**

    Couples intensive retreats work because we co-create an environment of uninterrupted focus, helping you to address conflict cycles,  anger/resentment and stalled progress right away. During our focused time together we’ll explore your communication patterns, attachment styles, disappointments, hurts and betrayals in ways that aren’t possible in shorter, sporadic sessions.  

    You’ll accomplish in 1 day what usually takes 3-6 months to accomplish in “traditional” therapy. 

    1-2 day intensive retreats are a great way to jump start your relationship and follow up sessions are available to keep your progress going. 

    COUPLE’S THOUGHTS: 

    “We now have insights on how to change our patterns of poor communication. We have hope and a plan to create positive change in our relationship.”

    “Janelle, you have become our relationship shaman, showing us the way to a happier relationship. Thank you.” 

    At Janelle Washburne’s ACCELERATED COUPLES INTENSIVE RETREAT in her Denver-based office, you and your partner can participate in a unique, one on one, intensive couples therapy designed to help you work through past hurts and move forward in a healthier way that works for both of you. There is HOPE and I can HELP!  

    This is NOT a group program or lecture but an individual one-on-one therapy session personalized just for you and your partner. 

    I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and AASECT Certified Sex Therapist with over 18 years of experience providing a successful, customized approach tailored to your specific needs as a couple.

    If you’d like to make faster progress and are open to understanding each other on a deeper level, healing past hurts and resentments, learning more effective ways to communicate so both of you feel heard and be intimate again…then an Accelerated Couples Therapy Intensive Retreat with Janelle would be a great fit for you!!

    Understanding the Process of a Couples Intensive Therapy

    My Accelerated Couples Intensive Therapy process begins with a free virtual consultation, during which we discuss your relationship concerns, goals and vision for your future. This is NOT a group workshop or lecture. We’ll begin to create positive change immediately!

    Before the accelerated couples intensive therapy session begins, I will email assessments and  questionnaires to you in order to gather key information about you, your partner and your relationship. This will allow me to tailor our time together to better meet your needs and goals. I want to get to know each of you better before we even meet.

    My multidisciplinary approach incorporates various techniques, such as Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT by Sue Johnson), Relational Life Therapy (RLT by Terry Real), psychobiological methods (PACT by Stan Tatkin), the Gottman model, Esther Perel, attachment focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and more to ensure a comprehensive experience. 

    After completing the Accelerated Couples Intensive Retreat, you and your partner will know how to feel closer and more emotionally and physically connected as well as you’ll have communication and other tools needed to create the healthy, happy, and lasting relationship that you’ve been longing for. 

    Additionally, I offer follow-up sessions to help maintain and reinforce the positive changes achieved during the Couples Intensive therapy session. 

    Feel free to bring a notebook or journal to jot down all the insights and tools you’ll be learning during our time together so you can continue utilizing them at home. 

    Divorce is painful and expensive! Give your relationship the time, tools, energy, care and support it truly deserves in your own personalized Accelerated Couples Intensive Retreat. Let’s get started…

    **The Couples Intensive Retreat is not right for you if you’re dealing with untreated psychiatric issues, addiction, or if there’s intimate partner violence, we encourage you to seek individual therapy first.

    *I welcome people of all faiths (or none), ethnicities, cultures, race, LGBTQ+, gender identities and relationship configurations. *

    *I am a Safety First therapist, prioritizing safety in your relationship.*

    ** In the first two hours of our couples intensive we were able to accomplish what would have taken 4 hours to get to in traditional therapy.”

    **”The intensive format is a much better use of our time (since we both work) and we were able to make so much more progress faster without distractions.”
