Tangible progress toward healing affairs over a weekend is possible
We follow the Attone, Attune, Attach method of affair recovery developed by The Gottman Institute. Don’t settle for going “back to the way things were” before the affair. Use this betrayal to move your relationship to greater levels of closeness, connection and a more secure bond.
Surviving an affair requires empathy, dialogue, and dedication. But you can rebuild trust, nurture connection, and honor the journey of healing and growth to end up stronger.
Kathy A. McMahon Psychologist, Sex Therapist, President, Couples Therapy Inc.
Trust an approach backed by 40 years of research. The Gottman method is a carefully applied model centering on “Atonement,” acknowledging pain, “Attunement,” fostering empathy and understanding, and “Attachment,” rebuilding trust and emotional connection to heal the relationship after betrayal.
One couple-to-one therapist for each couples therapy weekend retreat. Whether married or not, the goal is to heighten your intimacy, improve your emotional connection, strengthen your friendship, and enhance your problem-solving ability.
Marriage counseling weekends allow couples to travel and leave their familiar environment.
We hold in-person couples relationship therapy in 33 locations across the USA, including Puerto Rico. We hold online retreats in 45 US states, Alaska, and international locations, Canada, Great Britain, Northern Mariana Islands, and Singapore.

We have a better understanding of what led us to the infidelity.
We now know we can engage in difficult conversations at home. It helped us come to a better understanding of what we can do to prevent it from recurring in the future.
Recent client reports
We were trying to reconcile after a long affair.
The weekend retreat allowed us space to be vulnerable with each other. We are more patient with each other. We talk more about how we are feeling. We listen to what the other has to say. We understand our pasts better to help us move into our future.
Recent client reports
We were looking for affair recovery and rebuilding trust.
We realized that our relationship is not only repairable but that we were so lucky to have found someone we are so compatible with way back when…and we both WANT to stay together – it makes us happy. I’m excited for what the future holds.
Recent client reports
Couples counseling really had the impact we wanted it to.
After a second incident of cheating, we wanted to find out if we could mend our relationship. This was the first time that we both felt like couples counseling really had the impact we wanted it to, and we both feel very hopeful for our future now.
Recent client reports
We were in a rocky situation, a recent infidelity.
It was both brutal and healing to participate in the weekend. We have learned to address issues head on as they arise rather than waiting and hoping they get better. Although the conversations were difficult, they were vital in getting us on a path to healing.
