Couples intensives are a structured, high-focus form of relationship therapy designed for couples who need deeper work than traditional weekly sessions can provide. Instead of spreading therapy across months, intensives concentrate the process into a dedicated block of time often one to three days allowing couples to address core emotional patterns without long gaps between sessions.

Marriage is one of life's most meaningful commitments, yet many couples spend far more time planning their wedding than preparing for their marriage. While choosing a venue, selecting flowers, and organizing guest lists are important, building a strong relationship foundation is what truly supports a successful marriage. This is where premarital counseling can make a significant difference.

EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based trauma treatment designed to help the brain process unresolved emotional memories so they no longer feel overwhelming in the present.

At Kodo Couples Therapy in Novato, we use EMDR to help individuals and couples heal trauma, regulate emotions, and improve relationship connection.
