Couples Weekend Intensive Therapy

Rediscover Trust & Intimacy

A safe space to heal and rebuild your relationship

The shock and pain of infidelity can shatter trust and leave you with deep emotional wounds.

I understand that heart-stopping moment when betrayal turns your world upside down. The sleepless nights, endless questions, and overwhelming emotions - from numbness to rage - are all natural responses.

You keep wondering…

  • "How did this happen?”

  • “What did I miss?”

  • “Who else knows?”

  • “Can I ever trust again?"

Many couples face this challenge, struggling with shame, fear of judgment, and uncertainty about their future—worried about finances and children, while simultaneously battling intense emotional turmoil.

While 41% of relationships experience infidelity, your pain is unique to you. It may feel impossible to get through each day, but remember: there is hope after betrayal.

Your feelings are valid, and you deserve the time and space to heal.

This Couple's Weekend Intensive Therapy offers a structured, empathetic, and supportive space to help you heal and rebuild your relationship. With options tailored to your needs, I'm here to guide you every step of the way.

Why Choose This Intensive Therapy?

I’m Pia Arrendell, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with over 16 years of experience and the facilitator of this Couple’s Weekend Intensive Therapy. I have designed this program to cater to couples from diverse backgrounds, and, with my extensive training in various therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Attachment Theory, I have successfully worked with couples of different religious beliefs, sexual orientations (including polyamorous relationships), international backgrounds, LGBTQ+ couples, and interracial couples.

My intensives are not a one-size-fits-all approach. They are personalized to meet each couple's unique needs, ensuring you receive the most impactful and transformative experience possible.

Your Journey to Healing: Choose Your Path

I offer a tiered approach with three intensive options to suit your specific needs, time availability, and level of commitment:
