Couples Therapy Intensive in Palm Beach, FL

Three Days. Two Committed Partners. One Relationship.

When weekly sessions aren’t sufficient—or simply aren’t feasible—our 3-day private couples therapy intensive offers a focused and transformative alternative. Designed for one couple at a time, this immersive experience provides the uninterrupted time, expert guidance, and safe environment needed to repair, deepen, or strengthen your relationship. Whether you’re working through long-standing patterns of disconnection or preparing for a shared future, this intensive is tailored to meet your unique needs.

This isn’t a workshop or seminar. It’s private, personalized therapy grounded in evidence-based methods and facilitated directly by Dr. Stefanie Mazer, Psy.D., Licensed Psychologist. Over the course of three powerful days, you’ll gain the insight, tools, and structure needed to reconnect and move forward—together.

A Personalized Alternative to Weekly Couples Therapy

The intensive is ideal for couples who want to dive deep without the delays of traditional weekly sessions. Whether you’re local or traveling in, this weekend format can accelerate progress and provide the clarity and connection you’ve been missing.

The structure includes:

Friday evening 3pm-6pm
Saturday 9am-4pm
Sunday 9am-4pm
With 15 minute breaks and 1 hour lunch breaks on Saturday and Sunday

An Integrative, Empirically Supported Approach to Relationship Healing & Growth

Dr. Mazer’s work draws from six leading-edge, evidence-based therapy models, thoughtfully integrated to meet the unique needs of each couple:

Gottman Method – Research-driven strategies for improving communication, resolving conflict, and building lasting intimacy
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) – Focused on strengthening emotional bonds and secure attachment
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) – Skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and mindful presence
Polyvagal Theory – Understanding how the nervous system shapes safety, connection, and reactivity
The Crucible Approach – A bold, growth-oriented framework for sexual integrity and emotional differentiation
The Developmental Model – Supporting individual growth and autonomy as pathways to a more mature, interdependent relationship

This isn’t a one-size-fits-all program. Your intensive is custom-tailored to your goals, emotional dynamics, and values as a couple—ensuring that the work is as relevant as it is transformative.

What You’ll Work On

Couples typically come in describing a “communication issue.” But often, what’s beneath the surface is more complex. This intensive helps uncover and address the deeper dynamics contributing to recurring struggles.

You’ll work on:

Understanding your nervous system responses in conflict
Learning emotional regulation tools to manage reactivity
Building empathy and emotional literacy
Mapping your conflict cycles and co-creating new responses
Practicing clear, respectful communication
Holding your individuality without sacrificing the partnership
Reconnecting through shared values, rituals, and goals

Whether you’re facing infidelity, disconnection, parenting stress, or just feel stuck in a pattern—this intensive gives you the structure and support to break through.

Optional Add-On: Equine-Experiential Psychotherapy

Equine Experiential Psychotherapy offers couples a powerful opportunity to step out of the traditional therapy office and into a dynamic, outdoor setting where patterns of relating are brought to life through interactive, non-mounted activities with horses. In this two-hour session—part of the 15-hour intensive couples workshop—partners engage in structured tasks that require cooperation, communication, and emotional attunement, often mirroring the very dynamics that create conflict or disconnection in their relationship. As the couple works together, Dr. Mazer plays an active role in tracking their emotional responses, communication patterns, and negative cycles in real time, helping them name what’s happening beneath the surface. With the horse serving as a responsive, nonjudgmental mirror, couples gain powerful insight into the patterns that keep them stuck and begin practicing new ways of engaging with each other—through direct experience, not just talk. No prior horse experience is necessary.

Practical tools for co-regulating and managing stress together, especially during moments of tension
Stronger listening and validation skills that foster connection, even in conflict
Clarity around each partner’s values, roles, and expectations, as well as your shared goals
