A CLOSER LOOK
What to know about Luminate Therapy
Luminate organizes its intensive around information collected before the main appointment. The resulting plan and follow-through matter as much as the number of days. Confirm the precise package with the therapist, especially if considering a shorter return visit.

BEFORE YOU GO
The experience, in more detail
Assessment comes before the action plan
The provider describes using assessment feedback to identify strengths and challenges and set goals collaboratively. Ask when this feedback is discussed and how it will determine the balance of teaching, conversation and practice in your intensive.
A resource to use at home
The package description includes the Gottman Relationship Builder, a set of modules couples can work through after the visit. Ask how long access lasts and which parts your therapist recommends prioritizing once you return to everyday routines.
The shorter option has a prerequisite
The website’s one-day mini intensive is intended for couples who have already completed the assessment process. It should not be compared as an interchangeable first-visit package. The booking terms describe a 50% deposit, with the balance due on the first day.
