RESTORE
For couples who feel stuck
🚨 LATE SUMMER OPENING: We have exactly 1 private spot remaining for our upcoming
September 2-4 intensive. Fall 2026 dates are also now open. Book a Clarity Call to secure your dates.
You aren’t just "drifting." You feel stuck. You might be having the same argument for the hundredth time, or perhaps you’ve stopped arguing altogether and settled into a cold silence. You’ve likely tried reading the books, listening to podcasts, or attending weekly counseling—but the hour is up just as you get to the real issue.
RESTORE is for you if:
You are stuck in an exhausting cycle. You have the exact same fights over and over, and no matter how much you talk, nothing ever gets resolved.
There has been a breach of trust. You are navigating the aftermath of infidelity, betrayal, or hidden secrets, and you don’t know how to rebuild emotional safety on your own.
You are walking on eggshells. You constantly edit what you say to avoid triggering an explosion or days of icy silence.
You are exhausted, but want to save it. You both want to stay married, but you are deeply hurt, tired of trying, and need more than 50 minutes a week to fix the foundation.
This was the most important weekend of my life.
"This was the most important weekend of my life. Having a safe, highly structured space to unpack the truth without feeling pressured gave me the absolute clarity I needed to move forward."
Wife, RESTORE Intensive
Our Philosophy
Deep Patterns Require Deep Focus.
Weekly therapy is excellent for maintenance, but it is often structurally insufficient for deep repair. When a relationship is stuck in a painful, multi-year cycle, trying to fix it in 50-minute increments is like trying to perform open-heart surgery in the hallway. You spend the first forty minutes just trying to get past the armor and stop the arguing. Right when you finally uncover the real wound, the clock runs out—leaving you to drive home emotionally raw, with nothing resolved.
RESTORE is a targeted clinical intervention.
By stepping entirely out of your daily environment and coming to Sequim, we remove the triggers of your home life and lower your nervous system's threat response. You finally have the safety and the uninterrupted time required to truly exhale.
Over three days, we don't just referee the "fight of the week." We go underneath the surface to dismantle the actual engine driving the conflict—the unspoken fears, the hidden resentments, and the defense mechanisms keeping you apart. By giving your marriage the dedicated focus it deserves, we routinely accomplish the equivalent of 6 months of traditional therapeutic progress in a single weekend.
Structural change we were actually excited about.
"We wanted structural change that we were actually excited about and committed to making happen. The retreat acted as a crucible—a concentrated, safe place where we could finally talk with candor about the things that were hard to hear. We walked away feeling truly heard, with a clear plan for our future."

The Sequence of the Weekend
A careful balance of deep clinical work, solitary reflection, and intentional rest. We manage the pacing so you can focus entirely on your relationship.
The Roadmap
ONE WEEK PRIOR
We don't waste your time in Sequim doing basic introductions. We meet virtually for a 50-minute session to review the exact schedule, answer any questions you have, and get absolute clarity on your objectives for the intensive. Most importantly, we map out your specific "Negative Cycle" in advance. By the time you arrive on Friday, we hit the ground running.
De-Escalation
DAY ONE (EVENING)
Our only goal on Friday evening is to stop the bleeding. We move from blaming each other to blaming the pattern. You will leave the first night with a shared language for what is actually happening beneath the surface, immediately lowering the tension in the room.
The Deep Dive
DAY TWO (MORNING)
We go beneath the surface arguments to the root causes: unspoken fears, attachment injuries, and family-of-origin blueprints. Through a mix of joint work and 1-on-1 breakout sessions, you explore your own history and triggers safely, without worrying about your partner's immediate reaction.
Solitary Recharge
DAY TWO (MID-DAY)
We do not force connection before you are ready. After a heavy morning, you grab some lunch and separate for three hours of structured solo time. Take out the kayaks, go on a hike, or take a scenic drive. Give your nervous system time to regulate so you can return with a clear head.
The Turning Point
DAY TWO (LATE AFTERNOON)
In the late afternoon, we reconvene to connect the dots. We safely bring the insights from your morning 1-on-1s back to the table, translating your core fears to each other to build profound empathy. We finish the heavy clinical lifting before dinner, leaving your entire evening completely free to go out in Sequim, enjoy a great meal, and just be a couple again without talking about the relationship.
Repair & Blueprint
DAY THREE
This is the core change event. Guided by your therapist, you will practice a totally new way of communicating. Before you leave, we build a specific, customized Crisis Plan for your return home, ensuring you know exactly what to do when the stress of normal life returns on Tuesday.

Integration
TWO WEEKS LATER
We don’t send you home empty-handed and hope for the best. Two weeks after your intensive, we meet virtually for a 1-hour Integration Session to troubleshoot any bumps in the road, review your Crisis Plan, and ensure the changes you made in Sequim are actually sticking.

Without a doubt, the most eye-opening and life-changing weekend we've ever experienced
"This was, without a doubt, the most eye-opening and life-changing weekend we've ever experienced. We stepped into this feeling incredibly stuck, but we walked away with a clear blueprint and a completely new understanding of each other."

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. To ensure safety and effectiveness, RESTORE is not appropriate for couples currently navigating:
-
Active, untreated addiction (alcohol or drugs) that would prevent full engagement.
-
Active domestic violence where there is fear of physical harm or coercive control.
-
Active, undisclosed affairs (i.e., you are currently seeing someone else and your partner does not know).
-
If you are unsure if you qualify, please book a Clarity Call. We screen carefully to ensure this is a safe environment for you.
-
That is actually okay—and often necessary. It is better to have that conflict here, in a safe container where a professional can help you land the plane, than to have it in your kitchen at 10 PM with no resolution. We are trained to de-escalate tension and turn conflict into clarity. You will not be left "hanging" in a fight.
We work with couples on the brink of separation regularly. While we cannot ethically guarantee an outcome, we can guarantee that an intensive provides the most effective environment to determine if repair is possible. We accomplish roughly 6 months of weekly therapy in a single weekend. If there is a path forward, we will find it together.
Not at all. We design our intensives to feel less like a clinical appointment and more like a focused workshop or coaching experience. You won’t be staring at a wall analyzing your childhood for three days straight. The sessions are structured, active, and tool-based. We focus on where you are now and where you want to go.
Absolutely not. One of our core clinical rules is "No Villains." We view the pattern as the enemy, not the partner. We are trained to work with reluctant spouses to ensure they feel heard, validated, and safe—not blamed.
No. These are Private Weekends. It is just you, your partner, and the therapist. You will never be asked to share your story with strangers. The only "group" aspect is that you are on the same team.
Weekly counseling is great for maintenance, but it can be hard to change deep patterns in 50-minute increments. By the time you start getting to the root issue, the hour is up. An intensive offers the gift of time. We can open a topic, unpack it fully, and resolve it in a single sitting. We often accomplish 4–6 months of work in a single weekend.
You will stay in one of our exclusive partner properties on the Olympic Peninsula. These aren't random rentals; they are private, high-quality homes selected for their comfort and quiet. You will have the entire property to yourselves—no hosts, no shared spaces. We handle the booking; you just receive the door code.
Yes. You will need a vehicle to travel between your lodging, the session location (if different), and your Saturday afternoon activity spots. The area is beautiful to drive through, but it is not walkable in terms of transit.
To give you maximum flexibility and privacy, meals are not included. Your retreat residence has a full kitchen for slow mornings, and we provide a curated guide to our favorite local restaurants for lunch and dinner. This allows you to choose your own budget and vibe for meals.
We don’t send you home empty-handed. You will leave with a specific Crisis Plan and tools to handle triggers when they arise. Your package also includes a Post-Retreat Integration Session (via Zoom, two weeks later) to troubleshoot any bumps in the road and ensure the changes stick.
We are a private-pay institute and do not bill insurance directly. However, because we are licensed clinicians, we can provide a "Superbill" (an itemized receipt) for the direct therapy hours that you may submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement. We recommend checking with your provider to see if they cover "family/couples therapy" (Code 90847).
