Marriage Retreats + Couples Therapy Intensives
Focused, multi-hour couples therapy experiences designed to help you break stuck patterns and create real change in an accelerated timeframe.
From having the same arguments on repeat to understanding your dynamic and knowing how to shift it.
Yet, if you’ve been showing up and still feel like nothing is really changing, whether it’s been difficult to consistently attend weekly sessions due to busy schedules, last-minute meetings, or the demands of daily life, or the stop-and-go nature of weekly therapy hasn’t allowed change to fully land and integrate outside of sessions — you’re not alone.
Weekly therapy only works when you can show up regularly, stay engaged, and practice the tools outside of session. And when that’s not happening, it can start to feel discouraging. Not having a clear path back to connection with your partner is scary.
When you’ve been stuck in the same patterns for months or years, it may not be that your effort is insufficient; it may be that the weekly format simply doesn't work for your life.
It doesn’t mean something is wrong with you or your relationship. It means we need a different approach.
Rather than trying to squeeze in an hour here and there while life keeps moving around you, more focused, immersive formats allow you to step out of the noise and fully devote your attention to your relationship for a short, intentional period of time.
Whether you’re looking for a private, in-depth experience or a structured retreat, there are ways to create meaningful movement, without staying stuck in the same cycle week after week.

Marriage Intensive Weekend—Reconnect
Without Months of Weekly Therapy
Change happens when you actively interrupt the pattern, not when you wait for it to pass or continue feeding into it.
As you slow things down and learn to truly hear each other, something shifts. You’re no longer reacting from frustration, but reaching for each other in a more open, honest way. This is where real change happens:
- Patterns become apparent and your partner finally makes sense
- Emotions have room to move out of the way so you can see each other clearly
- Your nervous system can soften and relax
- Conversations become clear

I work with couples who...
- Feel stuck in the same argument loop
- Know they care about each other but struggle to feel it
- Haven’t made meaningful progress in weekly therapy
- Can’t fit weekly sessions into your schedule
- Want to reconnect but don’t know how
- Feel at a crossroads and want clarity on what’s next
- Know something needs to change and are ready to show up for it, away from daily distractions
pre-intensive consult
Both partners need to feel comfortable moving forward, and I also need to determine that this level of care is appropriate before we schedule the intensive.
The 30-minute video consultation is a required first step to schedule the intensive. Please note both partners need to join the consult from the same device.
How It Works
Schedule a 30 Minute Consult
We'll meet over Zoom to decide if the intensive is the right fit for you. If we decide to move forward, the cost of the consult will be applied to the intensive. If not, I'll follow up with resources and suggested next steps.
Before the intensive, I'll send you paperwork to complete. I'll also schedule individual interviews with each partner.
2- day couples therapy retreat
2 full days of couples therapy, with 4 hours of EFT Therapy each day.
We have time to slow things down, go deeper into your patterns, instead of rushing from session to session.
We build in breaks throughout each day, and can pause as needed so the work stays grounded and manageable.
Follow Up support
After the intensive, I share key takeaways and offer recommendations for continued work when helpful. While intensives offer a container for breakthroughs, we recommend follow-up support to help you maintain and build on the progress you make.
I will help you find the right next step after our intensive.

Frequently Asked Questions—Couples Therapy Intensives
Intensives are designed for couples experiencing conflict, distance, or stuck patterns. If there is ongoing safety concerns, untreated addiction, or active affairs not being addressed, a different level of support is recommended first.
What if we are in a really hard place right now?
Frequently Asked Questions—Couples Therapy Intensives
Insurance doesn’t cover couples intensive therapy. These intensives are considered specialized services that fall outside the scope of traditional mental health coverage.
Can we use insurance for the intensive?
Frequently Asked Questions—Couples Therapy Intensives
Weekly therapy spreads the work out over time. In an intensive, we stay focused for multiple hours across two days, which allows us to go deeper into patterns and create momentum in a shorter time.
How is this different from weekly couples therapy?
Frequently Asked Questions—Couples Therapy Intensives
That is expected. I guide the process so both partners feel supported, and we slow down or take breaks as needed to keep things manageable.
What happens if things get emotional or intense?
Frequently Asked Questions—Couples Therapy Intensives
Yes, many couples experience meaningful shifts in understanding and communication. At the same time, this is part of a larger process, and ongoing support is often helpful to sustain change.
Can we really make progress in two days?
Frequently Asked Questions—Couples Therapy Intensives
Yes! If you’d like personalized recommendations, I’m happy to share my favorite local restaurants and point you toward activities that will enhance your stay. Some of my favorite things to do are eat downtown (Blackbird Modern Asian is our favorite), catch a sunset at the beach, walk Baker Park, and explore the Botanical Garden.
Do you have recommended activities if we're visiting from out of town?
Frequently Asked Questions—Couples Therapy Intensives
Many couples choose to stay at a nearby hotel or plan simple, intentional time together between sessions.
This allows space to rest, reflect, and let the work settle in. Intensives are meaningful and often emotional work, and giving yourselves this space can make a big difference in how much you get out of the experience.
I also recommend reading Hold Me Tight ahead of time to get a feel for the material that will guide our work together. Not required, but suggested.
Before You Start...
About Danielle Sethi, LMFT

We work through the blocks that keep you from having the most secure, loving relationship you can have.

Licensed Marriage and family therapist and emotionally focused couples therapist
Or perhaps your relationship is newer, and you want guidance on building a strong, lasting foundation that will last over time.
The Hold Me Tight® couples retreat program Florida, held in Naples, gives you the space and tools to build a relationship designed to last and fulfill you both. You’ll learn how to truly understand each other, communicate in ways that solve instead of hurt, and reconnect in a way that feels safe, secure, and deeply meaningful.
Hold Me Tight® Marriage Retreat for Couples
Group couples retreat held in naples, florida
Long-term relationships are hard work. While it would be so much easier if we could naturally read our partners’ minds (and have them read ours) the reality is that we all get disconnected and feel misunderstood at times.
The good news: an entire field of research and science has made sense of adult love and bonding.
This knowledge grounds us with information about the human needs in relationships and what goes wrong in moments of conflict. With this understanding, you can learn the tools to create new conversations and strengthen the bond with your partner.
A Hold Me Tight ® couples retreat Florida marries the rejuvenating spirit of a weekend getaway with a structured, intentionally designed experience to give your relationship an experience to transform.
This program is a group marriage retreat in Naples, Florida. The program can help you and your partner to understand each other better and feel closer.
The retreat is not therapy, but rather an education and practice-focused program based on cutting edge-relationship science: Emotionally-Focused Therapy.
Reconnect With A Group Couples Retreat Florida
- Love each other, but feel disconnected
- Repeat the same arguments, despite trying to communicate
- Are open to slowing down and exploring the “why” behind your reactions
- Are committed to practicing new ways to connect
- You are in acute crisis or high emotional volatility
- One or both partners are actively considering divorce
- There is untreated addiction
- You are in early/acute affair recovery
- There is ongoing deception, coercion, or lack of basic emotional safety
Couples in these situations may benefit more from a private intensive, which provides individualized, contained support and preparation for group work later.
Is This Marriage Retreat For Us?
The material is based on evidence-backed research and presented by a therapist who can help you in your application of the concepts and processing when you get stuck.
We share how the relationship concepts are applicable in your own life and share concrete, practical skills to apply them. Throughout the days, you can expect:
- Lecture-style and video-example presentation of content
- Group discussions (sharing is not required)
- Guided exercises with your partner
This blend of content will allow you to take the theoretical into the practical right away to create lasting change in your relationship.
The workshop offers a combination of education and practice of relationship skills in a safe environment.
Format
This couples retreat Florida is based on the book Hold Me Tight ® by Dr. Sue Johnson. You’ll learn her teachings about:
- Why cycles of conflict occur
- Tips to interrupt ineffective communication
- How to communicate deep needs
- Communication styles that lead to less conflict and more connection
Walking away from a couples retreat Florida, you’ll feel refreshed and rejuvenated from getting to spend time with your partner.
Even better, you’ll have new information and tools to apply to your relationship over time.
What to Expect At A Couples Retreat Florida
You’ll walk away from the weekend with new, fresh insights about the way you and your partner communicate, a packet of information to continue digesting and integrating as you move on, and ideally, hope for your continued connection for your life together.
Hold Me Tight® Marriage retreats produce proven, positive results that will sustain you beyond the end of your weekend.
Get ready for a transformative experience.
