Intensive
A private two day container for relationships who need more time, structure, and momentum than a weekly format.
Why choose Intensive
When weekly therapy does not fit your life.
If your schedule is full, or weekly sessions feel like too little time to make real progress, an intensive can be a better container. You get more time, more structure, and a steadier arc.
Therafox Intensive is a private two day couples intensive with time with Anastasia and planned on-your-own time. Intensives are offered in person or at your location. The goal is clarity, practice, and a plan you can follow after the weekend.
You leave with a practical next step, not loose ends.

Illustrative vignettes
Examples of the kinds of focused work couples use intensive to do.
Rebuilding After BetrayalOpen vignette
After twelve years together, Jordan and Alex (names changed for privacy) sought an intensive after Jordan discovered Alex had been engaging in online conversations that crossed the boundaries of their relationship. Both were distraught and struggling with mistrust, painful emotions, and conversations that quickly escalated or shut down.
They left with
- Greater understanding of how the rupture occurred
- Tools to regulate themselves and stay present in difficult conversations

- A shared understanding of their values moving forward
- Practical tools for repairing trust and navigating future conflict
Navigating the Empty Nest TransitionOpen vignette
As their youngest child left for college, Maria and Daniel (names changed for privacy) found themselves experiencing the transition very differently, Maria felt excitement about the next chapter, while Daniel was grieving the end of daily family life. The difference in their emotional responses created distance and misunderstandings between them.
They left with
- A deeper understanding of each other's emotional experience
- Greater empathy for the grief and excitement that can coexist in life transitions
- Tools for listening with curiosity and responding with empathy
- Clarity about how each partner wanted to move into the next stage of life
- A better sense of how to support one another during the transition
Reconnecting IntimatelyOpen vignette
Over time, Maya and Elena (names changed for privacy) noticed that the playful and exploratory intimacy they once shared had faded. Stress, busy schedules, and unspoken differences had created distance, and both partners felt unsure how to begin the conversation.
They left with
- A renewed ability to talk openly about intimacy and desires
- Greater understanding of what often interferes with connection in long-term relationships
- Tools for expressing preferences and curiosity with one another
- Practical exercises to rebuild playfulness and exploration
