Find the Right Intensive for Us
Free 15-minute fit consultation to discuss virtual and in-person options, scheduling, travel, and location-specific questions.
Why This Location
A coastal setting with room to focus on the relationship.
Time away from ordinary routines can create a more intentional container for reflection, movement, regulation, and focused relationship work. The environment does not replace clinical care or create the outcome. The therapy remains private, structured, and centered on the relationship.
Beachfront care is an optional premium in-person format. The fit consultation can also help determine whether a one-day or two-day virtual intensive makes more clinical sense.
A Clear Starting Point
A concentrated format for couples who need traction now.
When every conversation starts to feel like a referendum on the relationship, it can be difficult to build momentum in short appointments. A two-day intensive gives you room to understand the pattern without forcing either partner to rush through it.
In the Myrtle Beach area, the work stays clinical and private. You receive structured couples therapy, practical regulation tools, and enough time to move from blame toward a clearer view of what the relationship needs.

Right Fit
A strong fit when the relationship feels stuck in place.

The Process
What focused work can look like over two days.
Get oriented
The consultation clarifies the relationship concerns, safety, goals, payment, and practical travel details before the intensive is scheduled.
See the cycle
You identify the interaction that keeps repeating and the fears, needs, and protective moves inside it.
Practice repair
You work with new responses in real time and leave with a more grounded plan for the conversations that matter most.
Practical Travel Information
Plan the travel around the clinical work.
Myrtle Beach International Airport serves the Myrtle Beach area. The airport lists rental cars, taxis, hotel shuttles, rideshare, public transportation, and car services among its ground transportation options.
You may choose your own lodging and transportation, and those costs are separate from the intensive fee. If you live more than one or two hours away, plan to arrive the day before, as intensives typically begin at 9 a.m. on the first day.
What Is Included and What Is Not
Clear clinical and travel boundaries.
The in-person clinical fee starts at $4,500 and includes preparation, two consecutive days reserved for one couple, twelve hours of clinical therapy, customized physical materials, structured regulation or reflection practices, post-intensive integration materials, and a private meeting room when needed.
Lodging, meals, and travel are separate. The intensive is structured around a clear focus and practical next steps, not a promise that every concern will be resolved in two days. Before the intensive ends, you practice the response you have built together and receive integration materials for carrying the work forward.

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions before you decide.
What is a Myrtle Beach couples intensive?
It is a private two-day clinical couples therapy format available in the Myrtle Beach area for partners who need focused time and a clear next step.
What can we work on?
Common concerns include recurring conflict, emotional distance, defensiveness, shutdown, betrayal, trauma responses, and difficulty repairing after painful exchanges.
Where does the intensive take place?
Care is available in the Myrtle Beach area, with the private meeting setting confirmed during consultation before you make travel plans.
Do we need to live in South Carolina?
You can ask about traveling for the in-person format. The consultation confirms fit, timing, and practical arrangements before you commit.
How much does it cost?
The in-person beach program fee starts at $4,500. Lodging, meals, and travel are not included. A private meeting room is included when needed.
What happens if we are not a fit for an intensive?
The consultation can help clarify the next responsible step when the intensive format is not appropriate.
How do we schedule?
Start with a free consultation so you can discuss the relationship, safety, travel, availability, and the right level of care.
Where does therapy take place?
Sessions are held in a private office space or meeting room as needed. When suitable, the beach area may also be used as part of the intensive.
Do we need to stay at a particular hotel?
No. You may choose the lodging that works best for you. Lodging is separate from the intensive fee and is your responsibility.
Is therapy conducted on the beach?
No. Therapy is not assumed to happen outdoors. When clinically appropriate, the coastal environment may support structured grounding, movement, reflection, or regulation practices.
Will we have breaks?
Yes. Pacing, breaks, grounding, regulation, and clinical judgment are part of the process. Breaks are used to help each partner settle and return to the work with more steadiness.
What should we do the evening between Day One and Day Two?
Plan something calming and restful, and save discussions about the day’s intensive work for the next session.
Can we stay additional days?
You may choose to spend additional time in the area. The intensive itself remains clinical work and can be emotionally demanding, so any extra time should be planned around the needs of the two-day process.
What happens if weather is poor?
If weather makes the beachfront unavailable, sessions continue in the private office space or meeting room. If travel is unsafe, the intensive may be rescheduled for a future date.
Should we turn this into a vacation?
You may choose to spend additional time in the area, but the intensive itself is private clinical couples therapy, not a vacation package. The work can be emotionally demanding, and the schedule is designed around the relationship work first.
