Couples · Our signature approach

Start with a private couples intensive. Change years in days.

One to three private days: just the two of you and your two facilitators, at a destination of your choice, at home, or with us. It's one of two ways to work with us. Recurring coaching sessions are the other. Either can be where you begin.

private, immersive, and built entirely around you two

Two separate programs. Start with either.

They're different in length, pace, and cost, not in quality. Neither requires the other.

Program One
Private Couples Intensive · 1–3 immersive days

Months of progress, concentrated into days.

No waiting weeks between sessions while things get worse. You step out of daily life, work intensively with your own facilitators, and leave with real traction, and a plan you both believe in.

1–3 private days
Uninterrupted time together: long enough to get past the surface fight and into what's actually driving it.
Wherever you need it
A destination of your choice, your own home, or with us in Northern California. Many couples prefer to get away.
Only your relationship
No group, no other couples. Your facilitators focus on the two of you the entire time.
Program Two
Couples Coaching · Recurring 75-minute sessions

Two of you. Two coaches. One relationship, rebuilt.

A complete program in its own right: most couples start here and never do an intensive at all. Each of you gets your own coach, and the work becomes part of your week until the change holds on its own.

Why two coaches?

In traditional couples therapy, someone often feels ganged up on. With PIVOT, each of you has your own coach in your corner, so the work stays fair, safe, and honest.

You each do your own work with your own coach, then the four of you come together. Because both coaches understand both sides, they can guide the conversation past blame and into real collaboration.

How coaching sessions work

1
Your own coach
Each of you is matched with your own coach, someone chosen for your wants and needs, fully in your corner.
2
Your own work
You each meet 1:1 with your coach to understand your patterns and what you bring to the relationship.
3
Come together
Then the four of you meet. With both coaches collaborating, the conversation moves past blame into rebuilding.

What coaching includes

Whether you're in crisis or deepening intimacy, the work meets you where you are.

75-minute sessions
Longer sessions, because couples work needs room: no rushing the hard conversations.
A coach for each of you
You each feel seen and heard by someone who knows your side, while both coaches work for the relationship.
Support between sessions
Both coaches are available for texting and short calls when something flares up mid-week.
A personalized curriculum
Materials and practices chosen for what your relationship needs, whether that's crisis repair or deepening intimacy.
The PIVOT Process
The same research-based process behind our retreats and intensives, applied to your partnership week by week.
Emotional & physical intimacy
The work goes where couples therapy often doesn't: rebuilding closeness in every sense.
Wherever you are

In crisis, or ready to go deeper.

In either program, your curriculum is personalized to what your relationship needs right now.

In crisis

Stabilize and rebuild

Betrayal, constant conflict, or the brink of separation. Your coaches help you stop the spiral, rebuild trust, and decide, together and clearly, what comes next.

Deepening intimacy

From good to deeply connected

Nothing's "wrong," but you want more. Your coaches help you deepen emotional and physical intimacy and grow a partnership that keeps getting better.

Don't wait for things to get worse.
