Thriving Couples provides a monthly date night dedicated to intentional strengthening of emotional connection in your relationship! Thriving Couples is an on-going monthly workshop geared towards couples who want to obtain and practice the skills needed to deepen their bond, side step future arguments, and improve connection and intimacy. Healthy, long lasting relationships require investing intentional time and attention to the partnership. In each workshop, couples will receive brief education about common topics and issues that we find couples getting stuck in such as trust, intimacy, communication, and so much more!

Each workshop session will include an educational lecture, experiential activities to support play, bonding, and practice of new skills, and time for discussion.

Key Objectives:

• Increase intimacy in your relationship
• Build and refine effective communication skills
• Improve conflict management
• Experience playfulness together
• Interact with others who share the value of actively nurturing their relationships

Thriving Couples Workshops are led by Shea Saysavanh, LAC and Anna Callison, LAMFT. Both Shea and Anna specialize in couples work and utilize Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help couples better understand their attachment needs, recognize patterns of disconnection, and build greater emotional safety and security within their relationships.

Shea brings a trauma-informed, attachment-focused perspective to her work with individuals and couples, with a particular interest in how attachment trauma and past experiences can shape present-day relationships, emotional regulation, and relational patterns. Anna brings extensive experience working with couples and families, as well as her work within Thrive Therapy's Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), integrating attachment-oriented and systemic approaches to support emotional awareness, connection, and meaningful change.

Together, Shea and Anna integrate EFT and Porges-informed/Polyvagal-informed lenses to help couples understand the nervous system and the ways our protective responses can influence relationship dynamics. The workshops provide an opportunity for couples to slow down, understand their patterns, access underlying emotions and attachment needs, and practice new ways of connecting with one another.
