Couples Retreats in Ontario
It’s like a visit to the cottage, with private, face-to-face, on-site professional therapy to help you and your partner repair your relationship.
You and your partner have decided it’s time for couples therapy, but frankly, finding time in your schedule each week for the next several weeks or months for therapy sessions seems next to impossible. In your life and in your career you prefer to get results fast. You and your partner are highly motivated to fix your relationship, but know at home your attention will be split in a million different directions because of everything you both have on your plate. You can make arrangements for the kids and pets; you can make arrangements to be away from work. You’re ready to spend quality time with each other and reinvest in your relationship.
Couples retreats are ideal for couples seeking intensive, short-term couples therapy without the distractions of daily life.
Getting out of your usual routine and environment can help you be better able to focus on your relationship. Retreats are immersive and can transform your relationship quickly. They take place over 4 days, 3 nights at Temagami Lodge, situated on an island on beautiful Lake Temagami in Ontario’s cottage country.
What to expect from your private couples retreat at Temagami Lodge.
Prior to your arrival you, your partner and I will have an online consultation where we’ll discuss whether a couples retreat is the right choice for you at this time. If so, we will reserve your spot and begin the process of preparing for your retreat. Preparation for your retreat is a significant component and commitment on your part as well as mine. It will include the completion of a comprehensive online relationship assessment which will provide essential insight into your strengths as well as areas of greatest need. It will take you and your partner each, individually about 2 hours to complete, and about that much time for my subsequent review and analysis. This will help to inform a completely customized treatment plan for your time at the retreat. In addition to the pre-arrival preparation and assessment, this private retreat package includes the equivalent of 10 sessions of private therapy throughout the 4 day retreat. The carefully constructed retreat schedule has built-in breaks to allow you time to digest and integrate new ideas at a comfortable pace.
In addition to the formal couples therapy, you and your partner will have the opportunity to reconnect and recharge in Ontario’s cottage country, with time to engage in activities like kayaking, campfires, board games, watching sunsets from the dock and hiking through old growth forest. Each couple will have their own private cottage for the duration of the retreat complete with full bathroom and kitchen. Following the retreat you and your partner have the option of engaging in online follow-up therapy so that I can further support you in maintaining and deepening gains made during the retreat.
