Dalliance Couples Intensive

What’s Your Pleasure? Exploring Deeper Intimacy and Connection in Couples Intensives

Dalliance Couples Intensives

Our next two Intensives are scheduled June 1st & 8th and July 13th & 20th!


At Dalliance Sexual Wellness Collective, we believe that sexuality is a fundamental and essential aspect of being human and we recognize the importance of sexual intimacy in relationships. Our Sexual Enhancement for Couples Intensive (SECS) offers a unique opportunity for couples to deepen their connection, explore their desires, and enhance their sexual satisfaction in a safe, supportive, and guided environment. Part of the Intensive includes psychoeducation & discussion, which is done as a group with the other couples attending. The rest of the Intensive is made up of breakout sessions/activities/stations that are done with your partner and a therapist/facilitator in your own separate space. Our Intensives run on 2 back to back Saturdays, instead of one whole weekend.

What is SECS?

Our Intensive is an immersive and specialized therapeutic experience designed specifically for couples seeking to enrich their sexual relationship. Over the course of two back to back Saturdays, couples engage in a series of structured sessions, activities, and discussions aimed at enhancing intimacy, communication, and sexual fulfillment. Our Intensive is designed to address a wide range of issues related to sexuality, intimacy, and sexual health. It provides individuals and couples with the opportunity to engage in focused and comprehensive therapy aimed at improving sexual satisfaction and overall quality of life.

  • Expert Facilitation: Our experienced therapists specialize in couples and sex therapy, providing expert facilitation and guidance throughout the intensive.

    Safe and Confidential Environment: We create a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space where couples can openly explore their sexual desires, concerns, and challenges.

    Tailored Curriculum: The intensive is tailored to address the unique needs, goals, and dynamics of each participating couple.

    Focused Attention: Unlike traditional therapy formats, the intensive allows couples to dedicate uninterrupted time and attention to their relationship and sexual well-being.

    Practical Tools and Strategies: Couples learn practical communication skills, intimacy-building exercises, and sexual techniques to apply in their relationship beyond the intensive.

    Evidence-Informed Interventions: We utilize a variety of techniques and interventions to help individuals and couples overcome obstacles, improve communication, and enhance sexual intimacy.

  • During the Couples Sexuality Intensive, couples can expect:

    Structured Sessions: Engage in structured therapy sessions facilitated by experienced therapists, focusing on topics such as communication, desire, fantasy, and sexual exploration.

    Experiential Activities: Participate in experiential exercises and activities designed to deepen emotional connection, trust, and intimacy with your partner.

    Communication Enhancement: Learn effective communication strategies to express desires, boundaries, and concerns in a respectful and constructive manner.

    Exploration and Education: Gain a deeper understanding of your own sexuality, desires, boundaries, and preferences through guided exploration and education.

    Healthy Sexuality Practices: Learn about healthy sexuality practices, sexual health, safer sex, and consent to promote overall well-being and satisfaction.

questions to ask

A couples intensive may be a good fit for your relationship if you ask the following questions


  1. Why isn’t sex working for us?

  2. Is there education we can have and learn to increase sexual knowledge and energy in our relationship?

  3. How can we discuss initiating and refusing sex more gently and compassionately?

  4. How do we identify emotional or relational wounds that might be keeping us from experiencing sexual desire and pleasure?

  5. Are we compatible sexually?

  6. We never seem to be on the same page with sex; is there a fix for this?

  7. I’m not sure how to talk to my partner what I like and don’t like; can you help us with this?

  8. How can we feel comfortable with sex when we never talk about it?

  9. We only talk about sex when we’re fighting about it; how can we make sex more fun and engaging and playful?

  10.  My partner wants to schedule sex, but that sounds boring to me; how do we keep sex interesting and exciting?


This is a sexuality and relationship intensive for couples and is talk therapy only. No nudity is expected or allowed. You will never be asked to be sexual in front of your professional sex therapist.
