Couples Therapy Retreat in Montana

What if you could dedicate a weekend to an intensive marriage counseling retreat and fully focus on the patterns and underlying feelings that leave you and your partner feeling unheard and misunderstood? What if you could reestablish the close, connected friendship you once had when you did a lot of fun things together and laughted a lot and found it really easy and natural to be together ? What if this weekend will be remembered as the "turning point"in your marriage, where a paradigm shift occured in the nature and direction of your relationship, transforming the remaininging years you have together?

You can schedule a private weekend couples therapy retreat with a Gottman Method certified therapist from Aletheia Marriage Counseling today.

Using the evidence-based Gottman Method tools, you and your partner can accomplish the equivalent of four months of weekly 50 minute  marriage counseling sessions in a single focused and individualized private couples therapy retreat in just a relatively short scenic drive from Missoula, Montana. 

Our weekend intensive package includes 16 hours of Gottman-based marriage counseling:

• Friday afternoon/evening: 2 hours of therapy
• Saturday: 7 hours of therapy
• Sunday: 7 hours of therapy 

This marriage healing retreat provides useful tools and insights that can change your day-to-day relationship more quickly than weekly sessions and help you both move forward with a clear and empathic understanding of your partner’s past experiences and future commitment.

The intensive retreat approach is often the best choice for couples who:

• Want or need to make meaningful change quickly
• Live at a distance from our office and would rather make a weekend visit
• Have challenging or opposite schedules and need to set aside a weekend for therapy
• Are experiencing a difficult relationship crisis that calls for intensive therapy
• Want to see a marriage specialist  and have a detailed diagnosis of your relationshp problems and work a custom treatment plan
• Have tried marriage counseling in the past that has not been successful, but do not want to give up  trying to transform your marriage or get a divorce.
• Are interested in an intensive approach to premarital counseling or have limited time to complete your relatiomnal work.

Intensive marriage counseling retreats with Aletheia Marriage Counseling can help you feel connected and confident in your marriage or committed relationship by providing research-based tools and strategies that create positive transformation in a single weekend. 

Attending a couples therapy retreat reinforces your trust and commitment to each other and can help you weather a crisis and emerge even stronger as a couple. A typical one-hour session a week isn’t as effective because you lose time at the beginning of weekly sessions and discuss the fights from the previous week and run out of time. Frustration, discouragement and pain continue to mount.

You and your partner will retreat to Seeley Lake, Montana, and can visit the Placid Lake State Park nearby for nature walks and quiet time together. Just 45 minutes from Missoula, you can renew your relationship away from the bustle and distractions of your hometown. 

Take an extra day and paddle the Clear Water Canoe Trail or hike to Holland Lake Falls or Morale Falls. Visit nearby trails, lakes, and streams  or just sit outside your scenic lodge or campsite and relax during your downtime. 

For lodging, you might consider:

• Double Arrow Lodge
• The Lodges on Seeley Lake
• Rich’s Ranch
• Placid Lake State Park
