Rebuild Your Relationship in Days, Not Months.

Private 1 to 2 day couples intensives for those ready to stop going in circles and do the deeper work.

"You've tried to make it work. But something underneath keeps pulling you back to the same place."

Happy Couple Embrace

You're Not Broken. You're Stuck.

You built a good life together. From the outside, things look fine.

But behind closed doors, you are exhausted.

The same fights. The growing distance. The intimacy that disappeared so gradually you are not sure when it stopped.

Maybe trust was broken. Maybe you love each other but cannot stop hurting each other. Maybe you have just quietly become strangers.

You are not broken. You have just been surviving. And survival has a cost.

Communication Break Down

Every conversation turns into a fight, or worse, a silence. You have stopped trying to talk because it never goes anywhere.

Betrayal and Broken Trust

Something happened that cracked everything open. And no matter how much time passes, you cannot seem to find your way back to each other.

Tender Couple Moment

Intimacy and Connection

The emotional and physical closeness you once had has slowly disappeared. You feel more like roommates than partners, and neither of you knows how to close the gap.

Focused. Transformative. Tailored to You.

"One to two days of focused, uninterrupted work can move you further than months of weekly sessions."

Weekly therapy helps. But when you are dealing with betrayal, deep disconnection, or intimacy that has broken down, one hour a week is rarely enough. You spend the session on what happened that week and never get to what is actually underneath.

 

An intensive removes that constraint. You get dedicated, uninterrupted time to finally get to the root.

 

You will leave grounded, reconnected, and with real evidence that something different is possible between you.

  • Break the cycles of conflict that keep pulling you apart

  • Rebuild trust and intimacy after betrayal or disconnection

  • Understand the patterns driving your pain and where they come fromLearn to communicate in ways that bring you closer

  • Leave with real tools you can use the moment you walk out the door

  • Reconnect with the person you fell in love with

How Intensives Work

When you’re used to leading, you need a process that’s structured, efficient, and trustworthy. Each intensive follows a clear framework designed to help you work deeply without getting lost, so every hour moves you toward relief, clarity, and renewed strength.

01

Pre-Intensive Assessment
 

Before we begin, you will complete a short pre-assessment and a one-on-one consultation call. Together we will clarify your goals, talk through what brought you here, and design the intensive around your specific needs. Nothing about this process is one size fits all. You will also receive a personalized prework workbook to help you arrive ready.

02

The Intensive

Over one to two dedicated days, you will step out of the noise of daily life and into a private, focused space designed entirely for your healing. Using Gottman Method, ACT, EFT, and attachment-focused therapy, we will work through the patterns beneath the conflict, process what has been left unresolved, and begin building something genuinely different between you.

03

Integration and Follow Up

You will leave with a personalized plan, practical tools, and follow up support to help you sustain the progress you made and stay grounded as you return to daily life. The work does not end when the intensive does.

The structure keeps you safe. The pace helps you heal. The outcome is freedom that lasts.

Hi, I am Fernanda Schiffer, LMHC

For over 10 years, I have worked with individuals and couples to address betrayal trauma, sexual intimacy struggles, anxious attachment, and narcissistic abuse recovery.

I know what it feels like to sit across from two people who still love each other but cannot find their way back. I also know what it feels like to work with someone who has spent years questioning their own reality inside a painful relationship.

 

My work is about helping you understand that what feels broken is not broken. It is a pattern that made sense at some point and simply never had the time or space to change. In the right environment, with the right support, that changes.

 

Each intensive is designed to be structured, safe, and deeply transformational. You will experience a blend of Gottman Method, ACT, EFT, and attachment-focused therapy, tailored entirely around you and what you most need.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if an intensive is right for me?

If you have tried weekly therapy but still feel stuck in the same patterns, or if you are facing a crisis like betrayal or disconnection and need more than one hour a week can offer, an intensive might be exactly what you need. We will talk through it together on your free consultation call.

 

What happens during the intensive?

Each day includes focused therapy sessions with breaks to rest and integrate. We go at your pace. The goal is depth and real progress, not exhaustion.

Do you work with individuals or just couples?

Both. Intensives are available for couples navigating relationship struggles as well as individuals working through anxious attachment, narcissistic abuse recovery, or betrayal trauma.

Do you take insurance?

Intensives are private pay. Individual therapy is covered by some insurance plans. Contact me to discuss your specific situation.

How do I prepare?

Once you book, you will receive a personalized prework workbook with reflection exercises to complete before we meet. We will also get on a preparation call together to clarify your goals, answer any questions, and make sure you arrive ready to do the work.

 

How soon can I schedule?
