Couples Therapy Intensive Retreats
Private intensive time dedicated to your relationship
A couples therapy (or marriage) intensive retreat is a long in-depth therapy experience geared towards highly distressed relationships, couples in crisis, or those simply wishing to jump-start the treatment process. Intensives are also a great option if one or both of you travel, have difficulty making weekly sessions, or need absolute privacy and anonymity and therefore do not wish to see a therapist in your local area. A one day mini-intensive option is best for local couples and the two day option is highly recommended for couples traveling from out of the area to my location.
You’ll receive focused attention on healing your relationship in the heart of beautiful Boca Raton, Florida!
I’ve conducted intensive retreats regularly for the past several years (only pausing due to the pandemic) and have completed approximately twenty in total. Couples fly in to work with me from various parts of the U.S., Canada, and the Caribbean. Couples therapy intensives and marriage retreats are only available in person (not online). If you require help now and can’t wait, reach out to see how we may individualize services to suit your needs.
Pricing: 2-day long intensives are offered at $5,200
Want to add a male perspective to your treatment?
I’m often able to offer a unique “co-therapy” experience where I am joined in conducting the therapy intensive with a male associate for an additional cost (approximately $1400 – 1,800 depending on the professional). Just ask about this option when you reach out!
Intensives are best for these couples:
- You are both aligned in the goal to work on the relationship (divorce or breaking up is not “on the table”)
- You are both coming willingly to the therapy (not coerced or pushed to attend)
- Neither of you has an untreated mental health or addiction issue
- There is no abusive behavior (emotional, verbal, or physical) from one of you or between you both
- You are in a committed and monogamous union
- You both have the ability to regulate your emotions and tolerate longer sessions
BOCA RATON, FLORIDA
Boca Raton, Florida is a perfect location for your retreat! It’s a popular destination town located along the south eastern coast and boasts a multitude of amenities and activities such as golf, tennis, racquetball, polo, swimming pools, spas, pristine beaches, parks, gyms, fine dining and upscale shopping. There are several popular resorts such as the Boca Resort & Beach Club as well as hotels to choose from for your stay.
SCHEDULE
Intensives are conducted on Thursdays and/or Fridays. You may choose a 1 or 2 day intensive. Here’s a general schedule for your experience:
- Day 1 morning 930am - 1230 am (3-hour block)
An initial assessment with you both together is completed as well as an individual session with each of you separately upon the start of the intensive.
- Day 1 afternoon 130pm – 430pm (3-hour blocks)
- Lunch break 1230p – 130p (1 hour each day)
- Day 2 (3-hour block in am & pm)
Therapy is conducted with you both together although there may be smaller portions of individual time if clinically indicated. We will also take a few 10 – 15 minute breaks.
- Post-intensive follow up: ongoing sessions in-office (if local) or online approximately starting 2 - 3 weeks post-intensive recommended to reinforce and continue the therapy process
POST RETREAT FOLLOW UP
Maintaining your gains are important. Clients who reside in FL, AL, MD, NC, or SC may continue couple therapy sessions in-office or online thereafter if desired and at the usual hourly session rate. Otherwise, the best effort is made to link you up with a therapist licensed in your area who uses a similar approach for ongoing therapy. With proper consent I will collaborate with and provide a progress report to that professional.
BOOKING YOUR COUPLES INTENSIVE
Step one is to fill out the client inquiry form on the contact page to indicate your interest in a couples therapy intensive. Additional program details, availability, and booking information will be sent to you. You may email or schedule a call if you have additional questions. A screening form may be sent to each partner to determine appropriateness for the intensive.
You will be invoiced to pay upon agreement of a date for the intensive. Dates can’t be booked without the deposit or held longer than 24 hours.
After booking your intensive, you will be provided with suggested airports to use if flying in, hotels to stay at, restaurants to dine in, and top areas to visit during your stay. You will also receive suggested materials to read and work on while you await your therapy intensive along with your online intake forms.
