Couple's
Intensives

Intensive couple's services target relationship enhancement & communication skills in a variety of formats, which can be custom tailored to your needs.  All intensives are provided directly by Dr. Bordieri. 

Structured Intensive Services & Program

Custom Private Intensive Programs

Structured intensives offer the "best of" deal for premarital counseling and couples who want to explore and strengthen their relationship drawing from two popular and effective approaches to couple's therapy - Emotionally Focused therapy and the Gottman Method.
Private intensives focus primarily on developing insight into relationship and communication patterns, as well as on building new skills for communication and relationship maintenance.  These custom programs are offered as prepaid packages with discounted hourly rates for extended sessions scheduled within a one- or two-month time span.  Sessions progressively build off one another and are customized to your specific needs.  Rates are based on the format (in-person vs. online) and the number of hours in your package.  Online sessions are offered on weekdays and in-person sessions are offered on weekends (Friday to Sunday) in Brooklyn.  You can also Schedule a free consultation with Dr. Bordieri to create your custom package.

Private or Small-Group Weekend Workshops

This 10-hour weekend intensive is ideal for couples who want to explore and strengthen their relationship using“ the best of”  insights, skills, activities and resources from evidence-based approaches including Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), The Gottman Method, and the Prevention and Relationship Enhancement Program (PREP). 

Weekend intensives are offered as private sessions or groups of 2 to 3 couples (based on availability).

Stand-Alone Intensive Services

Couples can also choose from one of the two stand-alone assessments the Communication Cycle Assessment (drawn from the EFT approach) or the Relationship Checkup (based on the Gottman Method approach) or complete both as a relationship assessment and enhancement program within the same 6 week period to receive an additional 30 minute coaching session to further build skills to enhance their relationship.

Communication Cycle Assessment

Over time, all couples develop negative communication patterns that leave partners feeling disconnected and misunderstood.  Drawing from the wisdom of the EFT approach, this 1.5 hour session will helps partners understand why their arguments, even small ones, can escalate so quickly and what keeps them stuck in these negative patterns.  This intensive session will also offer couples insight into what drives their negative communication and how to escape their specific negative cycle.  This service is equally appropriate for couples struggling with their communication and for couples looking to prevent future distress.

Relationship Checkup

The relationship checkup combines Dr. Bordieri's clinical expertise with a research-based online assessment to help couples learn about the strengths and challenges of their relationship and guide them in developing new strategies to enhance their relationship, improve communication, and build off their existing strengths.  Click here to learn more.
