Why Does Assessment Matter?
1. You Won’t Waste Your Expensive Intensive Repeating Your Story
Most couples spend their first intensive session explaining their history. Not here. Our 1,864-question assessment tells your story FOR you—so your therapist arrives knowing your patterns, your pain points, and what you’ve already tried.
2. Start Fixing From Minute One
The assessment reveals your communication cycles, conflict triggers, and hidden dynamics before you walk in the door. That means more time actually healing—not just explaining what’s broken. You paid for solutions, not storytelling.
3. Assessment Reveals What You CAN’T See
You know you’re stuck. But you can’t see WHY from inside the cycle. Our assessment reveals the invisible patterns: pursue-withdraw dynamics, the real needs underneath surface complaints, the bids for connection you’re both missing. When you can see the pattern, you can finally change it.

Begin your couples retreat inquiry today — we’ll walk you through every detail, with care.
“The intensive therapy centers around the BIG BIG Book. Put the time and effort into thoroughly completing this. It provides your therapist with the background so your time is spent discussing the core issues, not explaining your history.”
OUR RETREAT
When the Distance Feels Unbridgeable
Once, a glance was enough to warm the room.
You shared stories, laughter—even the quiet felt safe.
But something shifted.
Now, the silence feels like distance. Inches apart at the table, miles apart in meaning.
The connection that once felt effortless now feels out of reach.
Our Retreat
Couples Therapy in the Heart of Naples, FL
Our Naples location offers a deeply personalized experience, led by exceptionally trained couples therapist Rebecca Lanier.
You’ll meet in a warm, light-filled space just steps from the water—surrounded by exceptional shopping, world-class restaurants, and a quiet place to do hard, important work.
Are you:
If you’re coping with untreated mental illness, active addiction, or domestic violence, those concerns deserve specialized care—and we’re happy to refer you to professionals who can help.
We are not a fit for every couple.
Healing takes courage. We work best with couples ready to show up with heart, honesty, and effort.
That’s what our Naples Florida couples therapy retreats offer:
Time. Focus. Privacy.
A way to begin again—together.
These private retreats don’t just help you talk differently. They help you live differently—while you’re still in it.
You’ll explore the roots of conflict, rebuild trust, and live new patterns in real time. It’s immersive, powerful, and designed for couples who need change now—not someday.
Deeper healing. Less time. The support you’ve been waiting for.
“Rebecca Lanier is absolutely amazing at her job. She able to help each partner realize their short falls almost without passing any judgements or making “you” statements. I never felt judged or defensive. She ensures you’re comfortable, can be light hearted to ease tensions, and keeps conversations on task. You can tell she loves her work and wants the best for her clients.”
Why a Retreat?
Because real connection takes more than good intentions.
In a one-hour session, you might barely scratch the surface.
Then it’s back to the kids, the inbox, the to-do list.
A retreat is different.
No rush. No distractions.
Just time to see each other clearly, speak truthfully, and begin again—with support.
Closeness isn’t lost overnight.
And it won’t be rebuilt by accident
More time = deeper work.
More focus = faster insight.
More privacy = fewer defenses.
This isn’t therapy as usual. It’s a reset.
One designed for couples who are ready to stop spiraling—and start rebuilding.
Meet Your Naples Fl. Couples Therapist
Rebecca Lanier
Before opening her private practice, Rebecca worked on the front lines of community mental health—supporting children in emergency shelters and walking alongside individuals and families navigating trauma, addiction, and abuse. That early work shaped her calm, steady presence as a therapist and deepened her respect for the resilience people carry, even in crisis.
Today, she specializes in helping couples rebuild trust, strengthen connection, and communicate with more honesty and clarity. Rebecca is committed to ongoing learning and regularly engages in advanced trainings, workshops, and supervision. Her approach is current, evidence-based, and emotionally attuned—designed to meet couples exactly where they are.
Clients describe Rebecca as compassionate, structured, and deeply present. She offers a space where both partners feel heard and supported, while gently guiding the work toward real, lasting change.
“You don’t have to agree to be close.
But you do have to stay in the room with love.
— Rebecca Lanier, LMFT
The Unseen Cost of Relationship Distress
Living in a city that never stops doesn’t mean your relationship should feel constantly in motion, too. Behind the pace, the pressure, and the curated snapshots of city life, many couples are quietly unraveling.
Conflict shows up not just in the yelling—but in the silence.
The scrolling.
The sleeping back-to-back.
You may live side by side, yet feel worlds apart.
The truth? Relationship distress impacts your health, your work, your sleep, even your sense of self. And it rarely resolves on its own. That’s why we do something different.
“If you think it is a control issue, that’s the wrong subject.
One can never win at the expense of the other.
You both win, or both lose. These are universal truths about love.”
— Dr. Kathy McMahon, Founder, Couples Therapy Inc.

Is an Intensive Retreat Right for You?
Maybe you’ve tried weekly therapy.
Maybe you haven’t.
Either way, the patterns are back. Or never left.
In our South Florida intensives, we go beyond surface talk.
We help you identify what’s actually going on—and how to change it.
Expect honesty. Expect effort. Expect to leave with tools, insight, and clarity.
You can say everything
and still not feel known.
After the Retreat
Your retreat may be over, but the shift doesn’t stop there.
We offer structured support to help you maintain the gains you’ve made:
We’re here for your growth.
We’re not just here for your crisis.
How is all of this done?
You’re not expected to know. That’s our job.
That’s why we’ve mapped the path—step by step, human to human.
No guessing. No “choose from a list of strangers.”
Just a clear, guided process that starts with listening—really listening—and ends with a match that actually fits.
We’ll walk you through what working with us looks like, how we choose your therapist, and what to expect every step of the way. Whether you’re arriving with doubt, hope, or just a deep sense that something needs to change—we’ll help you take the first real step.
Let’s Begin
Let’s stop circling the same arguments.
Let’s make this the moment it changed.
