Format
A Couples Workshop is an intensive week-end workshop for couples of all ages - married and unmarried.

(Couples do not have to share personal issues with the larger group.)

  • Developing greater compassion and understanding of each other
  • Gaining new skills for more effective communication around difficult issues
  • Methods for re-romanticizing your relationship

The fee for a workshop is $550 per couple. This includes the workshop itself, and workshop materials used during the workshop. It does NOT INCLUDE meals, parking or overnight accommodations.

Continuing Education Credit for Therapists
Professional social workers (LCSW), licensed professional counselors (LPC) and licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFT) can earn 18 CEUs for attendance and participation in a "Getting the Love You Want" Couples Workshop.
