Who are Weekend Couples Retreats for?

This workshop is ideal for married and premarital couples seeking to improve their relationship at an accelerated pace. Couples who seek this workshop may be experiencing repetitive and frustrating conflict over the same issues, feeling distant and disconnected, or feeling stagnant but desiring to grow into a healthier couple.

The Benefits of Couples Retreats & Intensive Sessions

You will gain progress in one weekend that is typically achieved over 8 weeks. This will allow you to quickly make significant changes and gain momentum toward the relationship you ultimately want.
Couples will receive a report from their online assessment as well as materials to continue to use after the intensive.
You will learn practical communication strategies to help you better resolve conflict.
This is a great option for couples who do not have the availability for weekly sessions, or would like more immediate support. (Disclaimer: this is not a crisis mental health intervention and is not appropriate for an individual with current suicidal or homicidal ideation)

Commitment

Weekend Couples Retreats are a focused, condensed form of couples counseling. The retreat will take place on one weekend, over two days (Friday & Saturday). Couples are encouraged to continue sessions on a weekly or bimonthly basis following the workshop. The cost for the intensive is $1600.

Altagracia Andre, LMFT, Couples Retreat

Hi, I'm Altagracia. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist fluent in French and Creole who works with individuals and couples navigating the complexities of their emotional and relational lives. As someone who focuses on the therapeutic alliance as the basis for change, I believe therapy is a collaborative process and strive to create a safe space where clients can openly express themselves and explore their feelings. Through my therapeutic approaches, I help clients develop coping strategies, improve communication skills, and foster healthier relationships. I am committed to supporting my clients through their journey of self-discovery, healing, and growth. My goal is to empower clients to overcome their challenges, achieve a sense of balance and feel more confident as they continue their journey towards the pursuit of happiness.

Hi, I'm Connie. My experience includes several years of counseling adults and adolescents in residential, PHP, and IOP clinical settings. I am passionate about helping clients find freedom from eating disorders, addiction, trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, relational issues and other co-occurring disorders. I incorporate various treatment modalities including EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and other mindfulness-based approaches to meet the needs of each individual. I utilize a person-centered approach to create a safe and supportive space for individuals, families, and groups to heal and grow.

Jersey Garcia, LMFT, Couples Retreat

Hi, I'm Jersey and my preferred pronouns are She/Her/Ella. I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Marriage and Family therapist whose deep desire is for people to relate to each other and themselves from a place of awareness of their own and shared humanity while being able to access their full ability to live a life with more confidence and harmony. I am spiritual, non-religious and respectful of all faiths and denominations. I am LGBTQAI+ affirming and a proud POC, who is trauma aware and trained in brief therapeutic approaches.

Rosemary Scheppske, LMHC, Couples Retreat

Hello! I’m Rosemary, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor accepting new clients in Davie, Florida. I enjoy working with couples to offer hope while helping them achieve their goals. With couples, I am trained in level 3 of the Gottman method to help build the foundation of a new relationship or strengthen a seasoned relationship. I am knowledgeable and trained in the Enneagram, a personality tool used for growth and development. This can be used in therapy to increase a person’s strengths, become aware of growth areas, and use that information to manage mental health challenges. It is even used to help partners communicate better and become closer when both are aware of their personality type. My goal is to create a compassionate space for each person to feel safe pursuing health, healing, and personal growth. Also, in my clinical experience and my own life I find spirituality to be a source of strength in difficult times. I am happy to provide Christian-based counseling as requested.
