Trauma-informed couples intensives & private pay Therapy for high-performing individuals and couples

Designed for clients who value privacy, depth, and structured change.


When success outside the home is costing you connection inside it

You’ve built a life that works on paper. But at home, stress shows up as escalation, shutdown, emotional distance, or intimacy that feels strained.

This isn’t simply a communication problem. It’s a nervous system activation layered onto entrenched relational patterns and it requires both regulation and structured repair.

If you’re highly capable, deeply committed, and still stuck in the same cycle… This is built for you.

Serving Florida, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee via secure telehealth.


What makes this different

We stabilize the nervous system first. So repair conversations don’t escalate

We interrupt reactive cycles at the root. Not just talk about them

Structured, trauma-informed intervention designed for momentum not endless weekly processing.

Couples intensives: structured repair accelerated change

Designed for couples who need movement not incremental progress.

When conflict is deeply embedded, weekly therapy can feel incremental. Especially when both partners are stressed, guarded, or reactive.

An intensive creates focused momentum: we stabilize, clarify what’s driving the cycle, and build a repair plan you can actually follow.

In a 4-hour or multi-day structured format, we:

• Stabilize nervous system activation so conversations stay productive
• Identify escalation/shutdown patterns and the moments they begin
• Address trauma and attachment injuries impacting trust and intimacy
• Facilitate structured repair conversations (not endless processing)
• Leave with a clear relational roadmap and next steps

Limited availability for high-touch work


PRIVATE PAY THERAPY FOR DEPTH-ORIENTED CHANGE

For individuals and couples who want more than symptom management and are ready for trauma resolution, relational repair, and meaningful growth with privacy and discretion.

Private pay therapy allows for:

• Integration of EMDR with structured relational repair
• Flexible pacing aligned with your goals (not a treatment plan template)
• More discretion, privacy, and continuity
• A focus on root causes, not just coping

We build a concrete repair roadmap. So trust and intimacy actually rebuild



WHO THIS IS FOR:

This work is designed for:

  • High-performing professionals and executives under sustained pressure

  • Military members, veterans, and those shaped by high-stress environments

  • Couples navigating betrayal, chronic conflict, shutdown, or intimacy strain

  • Individuals look “fine” externally but feel disconnected internally

  • Clients who want focused intervention and real accountability


trauma and couples counseling

Dr. Georgia Harrison, DSW, LCSW, BCD

Clients seek me out when traditional therapy hasn’t created movement and they are ready for structured, accountable change. I am an EMDR Certified clinician and Gottman Level 2 trained therapist specializing in trauma-informed relational repair for high-performing individuals and couples.

With a military background and years working with high-stress leaders, I understand how leadership, performance pressure, and unprocessed trauma can quietly erode emotional safety, trust, and intimacy. Even in deeply committed relationships.

My approach integrates nervous system regulation with structured repair frameworks so you can move from reactive patterns into grounded connection and sustainable change.


1) Apply Share what’s happening and what you’re looking for.

2) Brief Consultation We determine fit, urgency, and the best format (intensive vs weekly).

3) Focused Intervention We stabilize the cycle, repair core ruptures, and build a concrete plan forward.

How it works


you Don’t Have to Stay in Survival Mode in Your Relationship.

If you’re ready to interrupt the cycle and move forward, apply to determine the best path forward.


How do I know if we need an intensive? If conflict escalates quickly, shutdown happens often, betrayal is involved, or you’re “stuck in the loop,” an intensive can create momentum fast.

Do you work with long-distance couples or busy schedules? Yes. Intensives are designed for high-demand schedules.

What if one partner is hesitant? That’s common. We can structure the first step to reduce pressure and build safety.

Where are you licensed? I serve Florida, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee via secure telehealth.
