After 28 years of supporting couples, we have found that this immersive approach—based on experiential learning—greatly accelerates positive change and growth. It delivers healing and lasting change, at one third of the cost of private therapy.
You’ll have the advantage of learning from a real couple. We share what has helped us in our 30-year journey as two stubborn, opinionated, and often incompatible people… who love each other. Watching us model working through charged issues makes it much easier to do so yourselves.
