The Empowered Couple

A MODERN THERAPY RELATIONSHIP LEARNING EXPERIENCE

empowered-couple

We Invite You to Our Version of a Couples Retreat

Real Talk: Relationships are hard. If you’re in a relationship, you know that sometimes we run into things like:

  • Difficulty communicating and understanding each other

  • Arguing in circles or grid locking on something

  • Hitting a routine that could use some new energy and spark 

At MT, we believe in taking care of our lives and doing the work to have long, fulfilled lives. Relationships take WORK y’all, and we’re here for you.

We realized that there are such FEW places for people to focus on building and learning skills to take care of their relationship that isn’t “couples therapy.”

You know, a space for people to gain insight when they feel their relationship isn’t “bad enough” for therapy. So we fixed that with intentional relationship learning sessions led by our team of therapists and relationship coaches that literally LIVE for this.

FAQ

  • This is a designated time away for couples to refresh and reset their relationship. It is a time to be intentional about reconnecting with your partner and take advantage of uninterrupted time together in the presence of relationship therapists who love supporting the modern couple (quirks and all) to find a true team mentality and connection that they can rely on with anything life brings their way.

    You can expect to:

    • Learn what matters to you both and why

    • Understand the reasoning behind it all, rooted in research and science

    • Have some FUN talking about intimacy and the enjoyable aspects of being together

    • Gain support from an upbeat couples therapist in case you get stuck or have questions

    • Experience a time to be vulnerable and practice what you’ve learned in the privacy of your home

  • Yes! Join us from where you’re most comfortable if you can’t make it in person to get the value of The Empowered Couple. We will share a link to join us in your registration confirmation and provide all the information you need leading up to our sessions.

  • Life is hectic, but you deserve to have a good life with your partner, and sometimes that means dedicating time to do the work in a setting that welcomes you as you are. We aren’t looking to change you, your partner, or your connection. What we are here to do is support you with the areas you’d like to grow in through skill-building based in science and takeaways that you can apply back at home at a pace you prefer.

    If you want to give to your relationship in an intentional way that isn’t a forced date night to fit society’s standards of a successful couple, this weekend is your judgment-free and loving environment to create transformational outcomes.

  • This is not couples or group therapy but rather a retreat with access to therapist-led knowledge and insight. The space we create is all about creating what you want to gain and meeting others who experience learning right alongside you.

    If you’ve never done therapy before as individuals or as a couple, this is a beautiful opportunity to see what support feels like for you both. All you need to participate is a desire to make your relationship feel great, exhale, and feel comfortable with the person who matters most to you.

  • Go ahead and contact us here, and we will help you navigate this!

  • This experience is more productive when both partners are present, and that was the design we built it around. That said, we love your interest! Shoot us a message, and let’s discuss how to meet your growth goals.

Let’s take care of your relationship, y’all. Your life and longevity will thank you dearly.
