Format
A Couples Workshop is an intensive week-end workshop for couples of all ages - married and unmarried. Using a format designed by Harville Hendrix, author of best-sellers Getting the Love You Want - A Guide for Couples, and Keeping the Love You Find - A Guide for Singles, the workshops include lectures, communication exercises and opportunities to practice new skills in private with your partner. (Couples do not have to share personal issues with the larger group.)

What you will work on

  • Developing greater compassion and understanding of each other
  • Gaining new skills for more effective communication around difficult issues
  • Methods for re-romanticizing your relationship
  • Building a safe and nurturing partnership with a shared vision for the present and future of your relationship

Participants are expected to attend all sessions. It is important not to allow family or business obligations to interrupt. There are breaks throughout the day, including a 90-minute lunch break. There is no dinner break.

Fee
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.

(Couples do not have to share personal issues with the larger group.):  The number of couples is limited so that there are opportunities for individual help.
