Why an intensive COUPLES THERAPY RETREAT?
Beyond Traditional Therapy: The Weekend Marriage Intensive Approach
For busy couples facing relationship challenges, traditional weekly therapy sessions often prove insufficient. The stop-and-start nature of conventional couples therapy can impede progress, particularly when communication problems or conflict resolution issues run deep. Our Naples Florida marriage intensive offers a completely different approach.
The concentrated nature of our weekend marriage retreat allows couples to dive deep into core issues without the interruptions of daily life. Over the course of 2.5 days, partners engage in 16 hours of focused therapeutic work—equivalent to nearly six months of weekly sessions. This immersive approach facilitates breakthrough moments that might take months or even years to achieve in traditional settings.
Our intensive couples therapy utilizes the comprehensive BIG BIG Book assessment to identify specific areas for growth before you even arrive in Naples. This science-based evaluation provides our therapists with deep insights into your relationship dynamics, allowing for truly personalized intervention strategies tailored to your unique situation—whether you’re navigating communication challenges, recovering from infidelity, or simply wanting to rejuvenate a relationship that has lost its spark.
Naples: Where Beauty Enhances Breakthrough
The therapeutic advantages of our Naples location extend beyond mere aesthetics. Research shows that natural environments significantly reduce stress hormones like cortisol while increasing oxytocin—the bonding hormone essential for relationship connection. When couples step out of their therapy sessions into the beautiful surroundings of Naples, the healing continues in unexpected ways.
Our couples often report that some outside of their sessions, their most meaningful conversations happen during:
- Sunrise walks along Naples Pier
- Explorations through the tropical Naples Botanical Garden
- Quiet moments on the pristine beaches of Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park
- Intimate dinners at waterfront restaurants
- Evening strolls through the charming streets of Old Naples
Imagine relaxing on white sand beaches, taking leisurely walks in botanical gardens, and exploring beautiful art galleries. The Florida coast is also full of fun outdoor activities. Afterward, savor an intimate dining experience followed by relaxation on your private balcony, complemented by a soothing spa treatment.
We provide a private healing space dedicated to fostering trust, friendship, and a profound bonding experience.
The therapeutic work also happens in those in-between moments when couples practice new communication patterns against one of Florida’s most beautiful coastal settings. — President and Founder Dr. Kathy McMahon.
