Couples Intensives
led by
Dr. Brittany Escuriex, SEP
- Want to stop arguing over the mundane
- Desire to improve connection
- Hope to build greater intimacy
- Long to heal from relational wounds that were created when the communication between you just wasn’t working.
Together we will honor your relationship and each of you as individuals by:
- Allowing your dynamic to be the focus of our work so that we can disrupt the cycles of conflict and help each of you see what needs to shift moving forward
- Attending to the attachment wounds that got you to this place
- Inviting your individual realities to exist alongside the rebuilding of your intimate partnership.
I am here to help you find your way back to each other.
Intensives allow you to keep going so that you’re able to more quickly experience healing and desired change.
Imagine feeling like you’re just starting to get a sense of your problematic relational dynamics in your relationship, and the hour is up, your session ends, and you won’t see your therapist again for another week.
This immersive experience will provide months’ worth of progress and healing in a two-day period
Together we will examine your relational dynamics so that there is clarity on where you get stuck
We’ll remove blame from either partner and see how each of you trying your best accidentally perpetuates the problematic dynamic
We’ll highlight the cycle that each partner engages in and create a path for showing up differently with each other
You’ll each get individual time with Dr. Escuriex to increase your understanding of how your personal history is informing how you are showing up relationally
This immersive experience allows you to come and focus on only your relationship while you take a break from every day life
Collaboratively we will co-create change and healing right in the moment so you can leave feeling more connected and better resourced than you came in!
Sometimes traditional therapy falls short. Sometimes an hour session just doesn’t cut it. Sometimes we need a more intensive experience to really jumpstart healing and connection. This Couples Two-Day Intensive is perfect for intimate partners who are committed to making their relationship stronger and desire in the moment tools they can begin using right away.
Couples who are urgent to see change
Who is this ideal for?
Partners who feel like they want something more than individual therapy can offer
Partners who are ready to commit two full days to healing their relationship
Couples with conflicting work schedules who don’t want to find a time each week for therapy
Couples who feel like they’ve tried everything and nothing has worked
Partners who desire to stop having the same issue come up on repeat
Couples who want to jumpstart their healing and are ready to learn what needs to shift in their relationship
I’m a seasoned Licensed Psychologist with extensive training in Emotion-Focused Therapy for Couples, Somatic Experiencing, and Mindfulness. My approach is highly collaborative, and I believe that my expertise combined with your growing awareness of yourself, your patterns, and your wounds creates the foundation for safe, happy, and healthy relationships.
I know that relational healing goes beyond communication skills, cognitive interventions, and worksheets. That’s why my work focuses on deep, healing-oriented processes that help you foster a stronger connection with yourself and with the important people in your life.
I’m also the co-owner of Empowered Healing Dallas, a group therapy practice in Texas. When I’m not working with clients, you’ll probably find me puzzling, breaking into spontaneous dance parties, or hanging out with my rescue pup, Shiloh.

Dr. Brittany Escuriex, SEP
If I could tell every couple one thing, it would be: There is no bad partner in a relational dynamic, we all contribute to the cycles that develop in our relationships.
Two days of education, unpacking, tending to yourself and one another, and tools you can walk out the door with and use right away. Together we will look at what’s working and try on new ways of engaging with one another. We will look at your individual relational strengths and also how your history is informing your right now. We will remove blame and consider the impact it has had on the disconnection you’re experiencing. We will break free of past pain and help you begin building a future you both want to be a part of.
What can I expect?
DAY ONE
- Initial session with both partners. With my support you will identify goals for the intensive and we will highlight relationship strengths.
- Individual sessions where I will gather personal relational history, including any relevant traumatic experiences. Each partner will have exercises to complete that will become part of the afternoon process, while their partner is in their individual session.
- Extended Couple’s section where we’ll begin mapping out conflict cycle, identify individual triggers, explore attachment fears and reactions, highlight the cycle of disconnection and reconnection, discuss intimacy, begin identifying ways to notice and disrupt the problematic cycle
DAY two
- Effective communication skill building – active listening, grounding, validation, and reflection. Develop your relational script for when conflict is occurring.
- Build nervous system awareness- increasing your knowledge of your own activation cues and subsequent fight, flight, freeze, and fawn responses so that you can understand the role this is playing in your disconnection.
- Learn how to negotiate and navigate conflict from a grounded place so that there are better opportunities to co-create safety and connection moving forward.

What is a Couples Intensive?
A Couples Intensive is a focused therapeutic experience designed to help partners step out of daily stress and immerse themselves in relationship repair. These two day sessions will provide the opportunity to address conflict, disconnection, and communication breakdowns more deeply than weekly therapy allows.
How can a Couples Intensive help us if we’re stuck in the same fight?
Couples often repeat cycles of conflict because they haven’t been able to identify or break out of the underlying pattern. Intensives allow enough time to slow down, recognize the cycle, and practice new ways of connecting that weekly therapy can’t always accommodate in a single hour.
Who should consider a Couples Intensive?
Couples who are considering separation, struggling with ongoing conflict, or longing to rebuild intimacy often find Couples Intensives especially beneficial. They’re also ideal for partners who don’t have the ability to commit to weekly sessions due to busy schedules.
Are Couples Intensives only for married couples?
Not at all. We welcome and affirm all relationship dynamics, including unmarried couples, LGBTQIA+ partnerships, and nontraditional family structures.
