Vacation Counseling
Reconnect through conversation and shared adventure
A couples retreat can make room for serious conversation without turning every hour into a counseling session. Vacation Counseling combines private work with a therapist on intimacy and communication with shared activities such as yoga and zip-lining, creating space to reconnect in a relaxed setting. Retreats are held in Costa Rica, Jamaica, and Southwest Florida, and therapists draw on a range of approaches to help couples address relationship challenges. The aim is practical as well as restorative: each partner leaves with tools and support for continuing the work at home, with a Reconnection Ceremony marking the close. Meals depend on the destination: Costa Rica and Jamaica include two meals and a snack, while Florida retreats do not provide food. Retreat amenities and lodging vary by venue. Rates start at USD 872; check with Vacation Counseling for current dates, duration, and package details.
