1. How is Couples on the Brink different from traditional couples or marriage counseling?

Traditional couples counseling by experienced clinicians can be quite effective. However it also has many limitations-- like hour long sessions once a week. In our experience, this is not enough to help couples in serious relationship distress. Couples on the Brink is different because treatment is tailored to your specific relationship needs. One way we do this is to match you with a therapist with extensive experience with your particular issues. For example, we have therapists that specialize in areas like communication, anger management, addiction, sexual issues and many others. In addition, in our weekend intensive programs, we are not constrained by the clock and have ample time to work on your issues.

2. How specifically is the weekend format helpful?

We are able to go much deeper into the issues in the weekend format. Rather than ending sessions during pivotal discussions, we can take the necessary time needed to make a difference. This format also allows us to break through areas and move toward resolving long-standing issues and conflicts.  The weekend format is a combination of intensive therapy sessions, psychoeducation and experiential exercises.  The combination has proven to be very powerful.

3. Do you do follow-up sessions after the weekend is over?

Yes, you can receive up to three free follow-up sessions after your weekend intensive. You can use these sessions however you like and they never expire.  Many couples utilize the follow-up sessions to reinforce the gains they made over the weekend.

4. Can we book out own hotel?

Yes you can book your own lodging accommodations or you can stay at one of our partner hotels or resorts.

5. We liked the idea of a weekend intensive but would prefer to do it during the week.  Is this possible?

Yes, we can structure and intensive program for you during the week to accommodate your schedule.  We simply need approximately 2 weeks booking time.

6. Do you have experience with gay couples?

Yes. Our experienced staff of relationship therapists have been practicing in South Florida for many years. The diversity of our culture has afforded us experience with a wide range of people and cultures including the gay community.
