Getting Started

The first step to repairing your marriage or long-term relationship is to recognize the severity of the situation as well as what is at stake. We equate a couple on the verge of splitting up with someone having a heart attack. A Band-Aid is of little use for a heart attack, and something much more substantial and immediate is needed. It is the same with couples in crisis. There is a window of opportunity to get the intensive intervention that is needed. We designed our Brink Intensives by observing what succeeds in working with couples in crisis. What works best, we’ve found, is focusing on the work that needs to be done until it’s done. Our programs offer the potential for great rewards. After completing an intensive, couples have more insight into stuck patterns and leave with tools to help prevent them from reaching the brink again. Best of all, they feel better about one another and their relationship.

We Are Committed

We are committed to your relationship success. When making your decision, consider recent studies that suggest between 35-50% of people regret not trying harder to stay together before getting divorced. Conservative estimates are that a typical divorce costs in excess of $25,000.

Add to that the emotional price that you and your family pay during this difficult transition and you can see your investment in our services as a practical, economical, healthy decision.

Also, please visit our Success Stories Page to see what recent clients are saying about our program and then give us a call.

We look forward to assisting you.

Couples on The Brink Services

INTENSIVE PROGRAMS (Evaluation Session Required)

Back From The Brink

Our most popular intensive, the 18-hour Back from the Brink program helps couples create lasting changes in response to serious emotional distress. It is designed for couples with long standing issues, chronic conflict or recent crisis. One good predictor of success in this program is if splitting up is a real possibility. People who benefit most from this intensive feel disconnected from one another and/or like they are living parallel lives. In this format, we address core issues and long-standing relationship dilemmas. The progress you make with your therapist or co-therapy team is supported by specific recommendations during an added session with a team of relationship experts. You also receive time with one of our specialist relationship coaches who assists you in resolving issues through exercises and activities customized for you.

We recommend that you complete the Back from The Brink program over 3 consecutive days when possible. We then suggest you continue with your included 6 post-intensive sessions which take place weekly. These Post-intensive sessions are tailored to your individual needs and typically completed in 1-2 hour sessions over the next six months. Post-intensive sessions are good for one year and can be used for further couples work or they can include other family members if desired.

  • Male-female Co-therapy team for 18 hours of intervention (same sex therapists available)

On The Mend

On the Mend is a highly-focused service for couples who are committed to their relationship and want to be happy together. This program is designed for couples who have gotten past the brink on their own and want to solidify the changes they have made and reconnect in the most effective and loving way possible. Many couples who attend this program were/are separated and are in the process of transitioning back into the relationship. The 12-hour On the Mend program is designed to jump-start your relationship by moving you past stuck points and troubling issues so you can rediscover substantial reasons to feel good about one another again. Couples who benefit most from On The Mend are committed to the relationship. They do not see splitting up as an option, though struggles and disconnection continue to diminish their quality of life. With the assistance of a couples expert or male-female co-therapy team, you spend part of this intensive resolving issues that have blocked your happiness, and the rest of your time reconnecting with one another. With the added support of a relationship coach and a team consultation, you can achieve what you believed was no longer possible.

Once and For All Program

Once and For All gives you the opportunity to explore these unresolved issues in an intense yet emotionally-safe environment.

The Once and For All program is completed in one half day (4-hour intensive session) and is designed to help resolve such issues once and for all. The program is for couples who would have a strong and stable relationship if they could successfully resolve these one or two stuck points.

Couples uncover possibilities and solutions where none seemed possible with the help of a couples therapist specifically trained to help you get past these previously unworkable problems.
