Couples Intensives: Traveling From Austin to Fort Worth

Deep, Focused Support — Worth the Trip From Central Texas

Couples from Austin often share they want more personalized help than what’s available locally, or they’ve tried weekly therapy already and are ready for faster, lasting change. My private Couples Intensives in Fort Worth are designed to give you dedicated time to reset your relationship — with clear guidance to make your trip easy and productive.

Travel Logistics From Austin

  • Drive time: ~3 hours 15 minutes via I-35 North; ~3 hours 45 minutes via US-183 for a quieter route

  • Flying option: Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) has short flights to DFW or Dallas Love Field (1 hour flight + 25 min drive to Fort Worth) — great if you want to save driving time

  • Arrival: Most couples arrive the evening before their intensive starts, so you’re rested and ready first thing in the morning

Making Your Trip Comfortable

I’ve helped many Austin couples plan their stay, so I know exactly what works best:

  • Lodging: I have preferred rates at 2–3 quiet hotels within 10 minutes of my office, including options with full kitchens and separate work spaces

  • Breaks: We build plenty of downtime into your schedule — you can walk along the Trinity River, visit the Fort Worth Cultural District, or just rest at your hotel between sessions

  • Prep help: We can do 1–2 short online sessions before you travel, so we hit the ground running once you arrive

Why Austin Couples Travel Here

  • Busy schedules: Austin couples often work in tech, startups, or healthcare — an intensive lets you make progress without months of weekly appointments

  • Personalized care: I tailor every part of the intensive to your goals — no generic exercises or one-size-fits-all plans

  • Proven results: Many Austin couples have read The 7 Principles for Making Marriage Work and want to work directly with a certified Gottman specialist

  • No distractions: Away from work, family, and daily routines, you can focus entirely on each other
