Rebuilding Your Connection:
Couples Intensive Therapy Retreats
Does This Sound Like You?
In your relationship, one of you may feel:
- exhausted from trying to make this relationship better
- unheard and misunderstood
- perceive by your partner as ‘needy’, ‘negative’, or a ‘complainer’
- alone and lonely in this relationship
- rejected or not appreciated by your partner
While the other one of you may feel:
- like you are constantly walking on eggshells, trying to avoid conflicts
- frustrated your partner can never seem to ‘let issues go’
- perceived by your partner as cold, non-caring, or shut-down
- talking just leads to conflicts and nothing ever changes
- whatever you do, it’s never good enough for your partner
As a couple, you:
- keep getting stuck in the same conflict, no matter the topic
- feel hopeless and weary
- don’t feel ‘safe’ to discuss emotion-laden topics
- no longer know how to communicate without struggles
- miss the joy that you shared before
- long for the sense of connection you used to have
You Know Things are Difficult…
You Just Want It to Get Better!
What is a
Couples Intensive Therapy Retreat?
It’s the progress, skills and tools you have wanted to get in weekly couples therapy, and didn’t.
And it happens over a short time period; over days rather than months!
Couples Intensive Therapy Retreats:
SKILLS FOCUSED
You gain concrete tools such as:
- communicating so you both feel seen and heard
- problem-solving to avoid conflict
- discussing ‘difficult’ topics
- re-connecting after a conflict
- addressing past hurts
- and others, depending on your unique needs
Couples Intensive Therapy Retreats:
RESEARCH-BASED
Our work is based on current research and we share it with you so you can make sense of what is happening in your relationship.
You will learn things such as:
- HOW things can get bad even when you love your partner
- WHY you argue about the stupid little things
- WHAT is needed for an apology to be effective
- HOW to de-escalate a conversation to reduce conflict
- and more…
“I am so thankful that my husband and I found Bri!
“We had tried other marriage and couples counselors and not one was as warm, caring, and knowledgable as Bri.
She showed us where we miscommunicated, taught us how to really listen to each other, express ourselves clearer and begin to reconnect. Reminding us of our younger, happy selves and stirring up feelings of when the relationship was new.”

“After the first day, while emotionally exhausted, we were also hopeful and excited about the progress we made.
By the end of the second day we were thrilled to realize we were able to have real conversations for the first time in many years.”

Couples Intensive Therapy Retreats:
RAPID RESULTS
You experience relief quicker than with the traditional one hour a week therapy. With my couples therapy intensives, we work together several hours a day, for a few days in a row.
Even after your first day, you will be able to do things differently at home.
3 or 4 days of work equals 6 – 8 months of weekly therapy!
Couples Intensive Therapy Retreats:
STRUCTURED
Step by step, you learn about your partner, address relationship issues, and improve communication skills.
By using structured conversations I keep it safe for both of you and help you learn skills that you can easily apply at home.
You will have a workbook to help you during the Intensive. This then serves as a Resource book once you return home.

FAQS
How many days is this Couples Intensive Therapy Retreat?
These Retreats are 3 or 4 days: 9 am – 5 pm daily.
The three-day option focuses on foundational tools necessary for successful communication and connection in your relationship.
The four-day option includes the foundational tools plus an additional day to give you more practice to integrate what you are learning. The additional time may also be used to address complex topics such as ‘Sexual Intimacy’ or ‘Relationship Betrayals’, and learn more advanced tools.
Where is the Couples Intensive Therapy Retreat?
There are 3 possible locations:
1. We may work at my home office located in Asheville, NC. It’s comfortable, private, and designed to make our work successful.
2. If you are unsure about coming to me in Asheville, I am able to go to your location (or a get-away), for an additional fee.
3. Online is an option, as well, and is equally successful. This allows you to be anywhere you wish and successfully work on your relationship!
What’s included?
>> My complete attention on you and your relationship from 9-5 daily for three or four days. This is the equivalent of 6 to 8 months’ worth of couples sessions.
>> Resource Workbook that includes exercises and information to support you at home.
>> Relationship Assessment based on online questionnaires and individual sessions that occur prior to the Intensive.
>> Individual Intensive Sessions (1 to 3 per person, as needed) designed to augment our couples work. These sessions may address individual-specific stressors in the relationship.
>> Snacks and beverages to nurture and sustain you (if meeting in my space).
>> Exclusive Access to subsequent relationship coaching sessions as needed and as my schedule allows.
OPTIONAL ADD-ONS
>> Email recommendations for you each individually and as a couple. Also included is a summary of tools and strategies we used during your Intensive ($75).
What is the cost?
You may be used to the idea of paying for couples therapy, one session at a time. When you attend couples therapy for 9 months or over a year, that cost is spread out.
With a couples Intensive, the financial investment is paid upfront. In the end, the cost for an Intensive is similar to the cost of attending traditional hourly sessions over 9 months.
As you look at the costs, if you feel a bit overwhelmed and that you can’t attend, due to the price, check out my payment options.
The price depends on the number of days we work together. A day is 9 am to 5 pm with a 1 hour lunch break.
3 Days is $7,450
4 Days is $8,950
5 Days is $10,250
Will my insurance cover this?
Possibly.
If you have ‘out of network’ benefits, your insurance may cover part of our work.
Unfortunately, insurance companies do not pay for full day sessions. Due to that, your insurance will most likely reimburse only a portion of our work.
We can discuss all the options and figure out what is best for your situation.
