Support For Couples Therapists
Expert Help Provided Free To You
Are you getting frustrated or feeling stuck with a couple? If you are a therapist and need your couple to experience a breakthrough in therapy, let me help. I provide Couples Therapy Retreats to clients who are motivated to create fast change in their relationship.
Significant Progress In 3 Days
Helping couples live the dream of a happy and peaceful life can be exhausting. Many therapists are burnt out, but still have a strong drive to help those seeking their services. If you feel stuck with your couple, I can help. I have taught hundreds of couples how to repair their relationship or helped them make a decision about the future of their marriage. I offer private couples therapy retreats both in person and virtually for couples who are ready to experience positive changes.
Why Should You Refer To Me?
- It's free to you since the couple pays for the service
- Every therapist receives a free consultation upon discharge
- Feeling frustrated with clients leads to faster burn out
- You get to keep your client after the retreat
- Help clients get into therapy if you have a long waitlist

Yes, It's Really Free.
The couple is responsible for paying the retreat fee, and I include a free consultation with every therapist who they work with as part of the aftercare program. In most cases, I am not able to follow up with clients due to state licensing laws. The partnership with other therapists is vital to making sure the couple is held accountable once they leave my office.
Couples Therapy Retreats
Process Focused & Content Driven
A couples retreat is like warp speed therapy. Your clients will learn a process for improving communication, relationship repair, sexual satisfaction, and overall emotional connection. My job is to help them resolve content by teaching them a process.

During more than a decade of professional service, Dr David Helfand (or Dr H) has helped hundreds of people create a happier marriage and more fulfilled life through short-term therapy solutions.
He has been interviewed by multiple news organizations about his specialties in neuroscience, clinical psychology, mindfulness, and sex and intimacy. He specializes in private couples therapy retreats, neurofeedback, and brain mapping, and his couples workbook will be published later this year.

How Does The Referral Process Work?
Therapist Consultation
Most therapists who have never referred a couple to me before opt for a quick phone consultation. On the call, we can discuss any specific considerations for your clients as well as address any questions you have about my process.
Optional Client Consultation
Every couple has the option to book a free phone consultation to make sure they feel comfortable with my approach and the idea of a couples therapy retreat. This is also a chance for me to understand their goals and make sure they are a good fit. They are also welcome to bypass this step if they want to get started as soon as possible.
Registration
Once the couple has identified their preferred dates for the retreat, they will receive registration forms along with instructions on how to pay the deposit fee. Upon completion, they will receive free access to the online couples course so that they can get started right away.
Attend Retreat
Most couples work very hard during their retreat, and I highly recommend that they pause their other activities during this time so that they can devote their energy to the process.
Aftercare Debrief
After the retreat, the couple will be given a list of recommendations for aftercare. This often includes suggestions for ongoing therapy, personal practices to help with emotional intelligence, and couples exercises to continue working towards their goals. Upon request, a copy of these recommendations can be shared with the referring therapist.
