Our Retreat

Couples Therapy in the Heart of West Vancouver.


Our Vancouver, British Columbia, location offers a deeply personalized experience, led by couples therapist with a long history of holding intensives, Jenny Fang.

Are you:

  • Facing infidelity, separation, or crisis
  • Stuck in patterns traditional therapy hasn’t shifted
  • Navigating long-distance or high-demand lives with limited time together
  • Preparing for marriage with depth, clarity, and intention
  • Hoping to strengthen an already solid bond

If you’re coping with untreated mental illness, active addiction, or domestic violence, those concerns deserve specialized care—and we’re happy to refer you to professionals who can help.

We are not a fit for every couple.

Healing takes courage. We work best with couples ready to show up with heart, honesty, and effort.

That’s what our Vancouver couples therapy retreats offer:

Time. Focus. Privacy.

A way to begin again—together.

These private retreats don’t just help you talk differently. They help you live differently—while you’re still in it.

You’ll explore the roots of conflict, rebuild trust, and live new patterns in real time. It’s immersive, powerful, and designed for couples who need change now—not someday.

Deeper healing. Less time. The support you’ve been waiting for.

My wife and I were on the verge of separation and after our weekend we are stronger than ever. Jenny Fang was truly a blessing when we needed it most.
I highly recommend CTI.  I couldn’t imagine a better way to gather the tools to work on a successful relationship.”

Why a Retreat?


Because real connection takes more than good intentions.

In a one-hour session, you might barely scratch the surface.
Then it’s back to the kids, the inbox, the to-do list.

A retreat is different.
No rush. No distractions.
Just time to see each other clearly, speak truthfully, and begin again—with support.

Closeness isn’t lost overnight.

And it won’t be rebuilt by accident.


More time = deeper work.
More focus = faster insight.
More privacy = fewer defenses.

This isn’t therapy as usual. It’s a reset.

One designed for couples who are ready to stop spiraling—and start rebuilding.

Jenny Fang

Jenny’s approach to couples therapy is deeply shaped by her multicultural background and global experience. She understands that every relationship is a meeting of different stories—of cultures, values, and emotional languages. Her work helps couples move beyond blame and into a space where real understanding can take root.

Whether she’s working with long-term partners or those in crisis, Jenny guides the process with steadiness and care, helping each person speak more honestly and listen with less fear. Her goal isn’t perfection—it’s connection that feels real, grounded, and sustainable.


“Every couple speaks a different emotional language. My job is to help them translate—gently, honestly, and with care.”

— Jenny Fang, 13 years conducting intensives with Couples Therapy Inc.

The Unseen Cost of Relationship Distress

Living in a city that never stops doesn’t mean your relationship should feel constantly in motion, too. Behind the pace, the pressure, and the curated snapshots of city life, many couples are quietly unraveling.

Conflict shows up not just in the yelling—but in the silence.

The scrolling.

The sleeping back-to-back.

You may live side by side, yet feel worlds apart.

The truth? Relationship distress impacts your health, your work, your sleep, even your sense of self. And it rarely resolves on its own. That’s why we do something different.

“Relationships don’t collapse in a moment.
They fade in the spaces where we stop reaching.
That’s where our work begins.”

— Dr. Kathy McMahon, Founder, Couples Therapy Inc.

Is an Intensive Retreat Right for You?


Maybe you’ve tried weekly therapy. Maybe you haven’t.
Either way, the patterns are back. Or never left.

In our BC couples therapy retreat intensives, we go beyond surface talk.
We help you identify what’s actually going on—and how to change it.

Expect honesty. Expect effort. Expect to leave with tools, insight, and clarity.

You don’t have to yell to be unheard.

After the Retreat


Your retreat may be over, but the shift doesn’t stop there.
We offer structured support to help you maintain the gains you’ve made:

  • Online check-ins
  • Personalized strategies
  • Ongoing therapy (in-person or virtual) if desired
  • An invitation for seasonal or annual “refresher” retreats

We’re here for your growth.

We’re not just here for your crisis.

How is all of this done?


You’re not supposed to know.

That’s why we’ve mapped the path—step by step, human to human.
No guessing. No “choose from a list of strangers.”
Just a clear, guided process that starts with listening—really listening—and ends with a match that actually fits.

We’ll walk you through what working with us looks like, how we choose your therapist, and what to expect every step of the way. Whether you’re arriving with doubt, hope, or just a deep sense that something needs to change—we’ll help you take the first real step.

  • What therapy with us actually looks like
  • How we match you with the right therapist
  • What to expect from your first call to your final session.
