Private Two-Day Couples Intensive in Florida
Approximately 12 clinical hours across two consecutive treatment days with Alexis Honeycutt, LMHC, NCC, Certified Gottman Therapist, at an approved private location in Florida.
For couples whose schedules, travel demands, privacy concerns, or family responsibilities make two uninterrupted days in Oviedo unusually difficult, Alexis offers a limited traveling option built around her established Two-Day Couples Intensive.
Alexis travels to an approved private residence or other appropriate private location in Florida. Each engagement is arranged individually around the location, travel, calendar, and coordination required to bring the intensive outside of Alexis's Oviedo office.
When Traveling to Therapy Creates Another Problem to Solve
A Two-Day Couples Intensive requires two consecutive days of focused clinical work. For some couples, arranging those days in Oviedo is straightforward. For others, professional responsibilities, frequent travel, family obligations, or privacy concerns can make the logistics unusually difficult.
The Private Two-Day Couples Intensive gives appropriate couples another option. Alexis travels to an approved private setting in Florida so the couple can focus on the relationship without first building a separate trip around the intensive.
The purpose is not to make couples therapy feel more luxurious. It is to make concentrated, clinically serious couples work possible when the logistics of traveling to Alexis would otherwise create a meaningful obstacle.
Two Consecutive Days of Focused Couples Work
The Private Two-Day Couples Intensive is built around approximately 12 clinical hours across two consecutive treatment days with Alexis.
This format gives couples more uninterrupted time to examine the patterns affecting the relationship, understand what is keeping them stuck, and begin working through the issues that brought them to treatment.
Couples may consider an intensive when they are dealing with concerns such as affair or betrayal, recurring conflict, entrenched communication patterns, emotional distance, or serious relationship strain that feels difficult to address in shorter weekly sessions.
Alexis brings her experience as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, NCC, and Certified Gottman Therapist to the work while tailoring the clinical process to the couple in front of her. The intensive is structured, focused, and clinically directed. It is not a retreat, workshop, or relationship getaway.
A Different Kind of Professional Engagement
When Alexis brings the intensive to the couple, the clinical work is arranged as a Private Travel Engagement.
That means the intensive is planned around more than the two treatment days themselves. Alexis must account for the approved location, travel, additional calendar requirements, and the coordination needed to provide the intensive outside of her Oviedo office.
The purpose of this structure is simple: to make it possible for Alexis to bring the Two-Day Couples Intensive to an appropriate private setting while preserving the focus and clinical structure the work requires.
A Private Travel Engagement does not include ongoing access to Alexis outside the agreed clinical schedule, and it is not a concierge or on-call therapy arrangement.
An Appropriate Private Setting
The Private Two-Day Couples Intensive may take place in a couple's private residence or another appropriate private setting in Florida.
The location is confirmed with Alexis as part of planning. It needs to support two consecutive days of focused clinical work, with enough privacy, stability, and freedom from interruption for the intensive to proceed appropriately.
In some cases, a neutral private setting may be more appropriate than the couple's residence. Alexis retains the clinical judgment to determine whether a proposed location is suitable for the work.
The Structure of the Private Two-Day Couples Intensive
Every couple arrives with a different history, but the Two-Day Couples Intensive is not improvised. Across two consecutive clinical days, Alexis uses a structured, Gottman-informed process to understand what happened, identify the pattern that keeps taking over, work through the conversations that repeatedly break down, and turn that clarity into practical next steps.
Phase I: Arrival and Alignment
Naming what brought the relationship to this point.
We begin with what happened, what feels most urgent, and what each of you needs Alexis to understand before deeper repair can begin. The goal is not to replay every argument or decide whose version of the story is more accurate. It is to understand what brought the relationship here, where communication begins to break down, and what needs attention first.
Goal: Establish clarity, reduce blame, and give the two days a shared direction.
Phase II: The Mirror
Understanding each partner’s side of the pattern.
At times, Alexis may speak briefly and privately with each partner. These conversations can help clarify the history, fears, limits, and protective responses influencing how each person is showing up in the relationship. The purpose is not secrecy. It is to understand more clearly what each partner is carrying before returning to the relationship together.
Goal: Build self-awareness, context, and accountability before moving further into the shared work.
Phase III: The Reveal
Seeing the cycle clearly.
Once the pieces are clearer, attention turns to the pattern between you. This is where repeated reactions can begin to make more sense: questions that feel like attacks, answers that sound defensive, silence that feels like abandonment, pressure that leads one partner to withdraw, and withdrawal that causes the other to push harder. The focus shifts away from deciding who is the problem and toward recognizing the cycle that keeps pulling both partners back into the same painful interaction.
Goal: Help both partners see the pattern clearly enough to begin responding to it differently.
Phase IV: The Reset
Moving from understanding into repair.
This phase focuses on the conversations that matter most. Alexis helps the two of you slow down the places where communication usually escalates or collapses, practice more effective responses, and begin addressing the injury with greater structure. The objective is not a perfect conversation. It is to create a different kind of conversation from the one that keeps leaving both partners hurt, defensive, disconnected, or unheard.
Goal: Begin changing how the two of you speak, listen, respond, and repair in real time.
Phase V: Integration
Turning two intensive days into clear next steps.
Before the intensive ends, Alexis helps the couple translate what has emerged into a practical plan for moving forward. That may include communication guardrails, specific repair steps, recommended follow-up, and ways to recognize when familiar patterns are beginning to take over again. The goal is not to leave with vague optimism. It is to leave with greater clarity about what happened, what needs to change, and how to continue the work after the intensive.
Goal: Gain clarity, practical next steps, and a repair plan that extends beyond the two clinical days.
How the Two Days Work Together
Day One is primarily about understanding what happened, what changed between you, and why the same painful patterns keep returning.
Day Two builds from that understanding into repair conversations, different responses, and a clearer plan for what happens next.
The time between the two days matters, too. Couples have an opportunity to rest, reflect, and absorb what surfaced before returning for the second day. That rhythm allows the work to develop across two focused days without forcing every part of the relationship into a single extended sitting.
Clinical Screening Before Scheduling
A Private Two-Day Couples Intensive is not scheduled from a website inquiry alone.
Before dates are confirmed, Alexis reviews the couple's circumstances to determine whether an intensive is clinically appropriate and whether the traveling format and proposed setting are appropriate for the work.
Not every couple will be accepted for an intensive. In some circumstances, Alexis may recommend a different starting point, additional assessment, or another level of care before intensive couples therapy is considered.
This review is a clinical decision made by Alexis. It is separate from travel availability, scheduling, or the couple's ability to arrange the engagement.
What Happens After You Inquire
The first step is a private administrative inquiry.
From there, the process generally moves through three stages:
-
Initial Inquiry: You provide the basic information needed for Alexis's office to understand the request and how to contact you. Detailed relationship history, psychiatric information, safety concerns, and other sensitive clinical information should not be submitted through the ordinary website inquiry form.
-
Clinical Review: If the request appears appropriate to explore further, Alexis completes the clinical review needed to determine whether a Two-Day Couples Intensive is appropriate and whether the traveling format is suitable for the couple's circumstances.
-
Engagement Coordination: If Alexis accepts the engagement, the office coordinates the approved location, dates, travel-related details, preparation, and other administrative requirements before the intensive is confirmed.

Available by Individual Arrangement in Florida
Private Two-Day Couples Intensives are currently offered within Florida, subject to Alexis's clinical judgment, the proposed location, travel requirements, and calendar availability.
Because each Private Travel Engagement is arranged individually, availability can vary by geography and by the practical requirements of the engagement.
The initial inquiry is the appropriate place to ask whether a specific Florida location may be considered.
Prefer to Come to Alexis in Oviedo?
The traveling format is not necessary for every couple.
If coming to Central Florida is practical, Alexis also offers the Two-Day Couples Intensive in her Oviedo office. That option provides the two-day clinical structure in Alexis's Oviedo office, without the travel and location coordination required for a Private Travel Engagement.
For some couples, traveling to Alexis is the simpler choice. For others, having Alexis travel to an approved private setting makes the intensive more workable.
What Couples Say About Working With Alexis
Ready to Take the Next Step?
If a Private Two-Day Couples Intensive may make sense for your circumstances, the next step is a brief administrative inquiry.
You do not need to explain the private details of your relationship in the initial message. Please provide only the basic information needed for Alexis's office to understand the request and contact you.
Clinical screening, location review, scheduling, and engagement details are addressed separately if the inquiry moves forward.

Does the intensive have to take place in our home?
No. The intensive may take place in an approved private residence or another appropriate private setting. In some circumstances, a neutral private location may be more appropriate than the couple's home. The location is confirmed with Alexis as part of planning.
Where in Florida does Alexis travel?
Private Two-Day Couples Intensives are currently considered throughout Florida. Availability depends on the proposed location, travel requirements, Alexis's calendar, and whether the setting and traveling format are appropriate for the engagement.
Are all couples accepted for a Private Two-Day Couples Intensive?
No. Alexis completes clinical screening before an intensive is scheduled. The purpose is to determine whether intensive couples therapy is an appropriate starting point and whether the traveling format is appropriate for the couple's circumstances. In some situations, Alexis may recommend another form of care, additional assessment, or a different starting point.
Can a Private Two-Day Couples Intensive be appropriate after an affair or betrayal?
Yes, affair and betrayal concerns are among the relationship issues couples may bring to an intensive. Whether a Two-Day Couples Intensive is appropriate depends on the couple's circumstances and is determined through Alexis's clinical review before scheduling.

The initial inquiry should contain only the basic information needed for Alexis's office to understand the request and make contact. Sensitive clinical information is addressed separately through the appropriate clinical process.
What happens after the Two-Day Couples Intensive?
What comes next depends on the couple and what emerges during the intensive. Before the two days conclude, Alexis helps the couple identify practical next steps. These may include specific repair priorities, communication changes, follow-up work, or recommendations for continued care when appropriate.
