If you’re ready to reconnect and strengthen your relationship, this couples retreat program is the ultimate launch pad. It’s designed for you and your partner to take a deep dive and move forward toward a secure, resilient, and fulfilling connection.
This private couples retreat weekend in Charlotte, NC, is ideal for those ready to invest in intensive relationship work, covering 8 to 10 weeks of therapy in just 2½ days. After the retreat, we encourage you to continue couples counseling, either with us in Charlotte or with a therapist in your home community.
1-Day Couples Retreat Intensive
Many couples find weekly counseling sessions impractical due to professional demands, after-school activities, childcare arrangements, or distance.
Our 1-day and ½-day intensive marriage counseling retreats work well for couples whose schedules prove too demanding for ongoing weekly therapy.
Your first day of this relationship retreat is equivalent to four weeks of couples therapy and is tailored to complete our entire Assessment and Discovery Phase. Once your first intensive couples counseling retreat is complete, additional 1-day or ½-day intensives can be scheduled at intervals convenient for you and your lifestyle.
With our signature step-by-step coaching, you and your partner will share and listen in ways that quickly identify goals, issues, and concerns. Then you’ll reflect and imagine the future together — while you create it.
If you’re keen on working toward relationship goals but unable to fit weekly or bi-weekly sessions into your schedule, these options will make a lot of sense. At Wellness, we are committed to helping you establish a strong platform for your continuing work and your relationship’s success.
