You don’t fall out of love. You fall out of practice.
Private couples therapy retreats in Wayzata, Minnesota
Let’s bring intention back to your connection.
Our Retreat
Couples Therapy 15 minutes outside of Minneapolis.
Are you:
Reach out. However, 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 Minneapolis 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.
“We accomplished more in our marriage in three days than we would have in years of weekly counseling sessions. We have a better understanding of ourselves and each other. We have tools to use as we move forward. We feel hopeful that we’ll be able to make this work! We fight much less and feel a new sense of trust. It was like a giant reset button.
Do it! It was worth every penny.” A recent retreat client of Diane Foy
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.
“Strong roots withstand any storm—nurture your relationship to weather life’s challenges together.”
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.

“Helping couples helps the entire family system. Loving families impact our society as a whole. Healthy kids become healthy, productive adults with a purpose.”— Diane Foy, conducting intensives with Couples Therapy Inc for over a decade.
The Unseen Cost of Relationship Distress
Living in a beautiful town doesn’t mean your relationship feels peaceful. Behind the calm exterior, 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 Minneapolis 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.
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.
Like the changing seasons, relationships evolve; with care and commitment, they flourish anew.”
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:
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.
Let’s Begin
Let’s begin in a place that’s steady and quiet.
The kind of place where real change can take root.
