After a few ineffective therapists, Couples Therapy Inc. has restored my faith in marriage counseling.

"My partner and I have noticed an immediate change in the way we view our family and each other. We're warmer to one another, and we're more patient with children.

We owe a lot of that to the road map our therapist created for us, which gives us hope and confidence. Our intensive marriage retreat also reminded us of why my partner and I are together, what attracted us to one another, and why we're good partners. Somehow, sadly, we lost sight of that."

Each clinician undergoes at least six hours of training to effectively interpret your every word. This window into your relationship saves you valuable clinical time and improves our effectiveness.

This weekend exclusively focuses on you and your partner, and we give you our undivided attention. Live locally? Booking a nearby hotel room can enhance your experience.

Your therapist has an in-depth understanding of you and your relationship dynamics. Please don't hesitate to reach out for more personalized help.

OUR APPROACH

Why our approach works

Couples Therapy Inc. has a reputation for successfully impacting the most challenged couples through our comprehensive approach. We don't, however, accept all couples for treatment. *


We provide:

  •  A thorough evaluation, 
  • Helpful structured feedback,
  • An opportunity to strengthen skills, and 
  • A supportive environment to heal wounds. 


Are you looking for a particular model?


Holding a certification in one couples therapy model is a unique accomplishment. However, no one theoretical approach can effectively help every couple. Our relationship specialists cross-train in multiple evidence-based treatments to deliver cutting-edge, innovative practice.

ABOUT US

What makes us different?

We are a team of 30+ clinicians dedicated to intensive couples therapy. We don't juggle weekly clients with the occasional couples weekend. Our sole focus is conducting these private, marriage counseling retreats (and aftercare).

Experience matters in intensive couples counseling.  We have no newly licensed or pre-licensed psychotherapists. Instead, some of our couples therapists have over 40 years of experience working with couples.

The benefit to you is an exceptional team of seasoned professionals available to help your relationship.

Evidence-based Practice

Popular evidence-based therapies for couples include the Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused, Solution Focused, and Integrative Behavioral Couples Therapy. But even if one of these methods certifies our couples therapist, more is needed. We strengthen our expertise with training in multiple models to help troubled couples.

Comprehensive Assessment

It's an extensive and in-depth exploration of you and your relationship. It provides your therapist with essential information they'll need to help both of you. Your therapist will already have extensive knowledge about you and your relationship before you even meet.

It is comprehensive, but it ultimately saves time over your couples weekend retreat.

 INNOVATION Through Collaboration

We spend 20 hours a year fine-tuning our clinical skills in monthly meetings. Couples therapy intensives are an evolving approach, and we're on the cutting edge of innovation.

We join forces with over 30 clinicians practicing across the globe to perfect what we do and how we do it. You'll work with clinicians who have up-to-date knowledge for greater clinical effectiveness.

Fees for the Intensive

Intensive retreat prices for a weekend are between $3500 and $7000 depending upon the education, location, and experience of your therapist. Additional days can also be arranged. Payment is due at the time of booking and paid for by credit card. We regret not being able to hold dates without payment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are our most frequent inquiries about our couples therapy retreats.

Is there a question that remains unanswered?

What do you do in weekend couples therapy?

While some retreats are group experiences, ours is a private, one-to-one setting in your therapist's office. Only you, your partner, and one highly trained professional atten.

After a thorough relationship history and individual meetings, your couples therapist provides you evidence-based feedback. This includes a detailed "map" of your relationship strengths and areas needing enhancement. We implement this tailored treatment plan over the remaining time.

Do you work with all types of couples?

Yes! We work with all intimate relationships. This includes couples married long term or newlyweds, GLBTQ+ or straight, monogamous, or not.

Our intensives are non-religious. However, Christian couples can work with our specialized clinicians for a biblically-informed perspective. You do not need to be married to participate.

I am not in Houston. Do you hold intensive retreats near me?

Yes. We offer many romantic getaways across the Southwest, and the entire USA. Additional countries served include Canada, Germany, the UK, and Singapore.

Does insurance cover this?

Insurance companies seldom cover couples counseling, as they usually do not categorize it as "medically necessary." Intensive couples therapy retreats are no different.

*Please note:


Couples therapy offers tailored support but may not be suitable if: One partner lacks motivation or considers divorce.

Your willingness to work on the marriage is crucial. If unsure about staying in the marriage, try discernment counseling. If divorce is certain, consider mediation or divorce counseling.

Both partners must be open to change.

Couples therapy isn't suitable for cases involving: Domestic violence, suicide prevention, untreated personality disorders, mental illnesses, or serious substance abuse.

For such cases, seek specialized individual mental health services.

Do it for yourself.
Do it for each other.

your path to reignite your relationship.
