Is Relationship Reset right for us?

Relationship Reset retreats are for those couples who need change and progress quickly. Whether you are in a crisis situation or are in a happy healthy relationship and just wish to address some target areas for growth, Relationship Reset is a great way to make progress, faster.  


*Relationship Reset is not appropriate for those couples who are experiencing violence, an on-going affair, or untreated addiction.

Shelly offers a free consult to help determine if this is the best option for your relationship.

Each Relationsip Reset Includes:

  • A pre-therapy call that helps each partner feel prepared for the sessions, including a 30-minute consultation for each partner

  • Access for each partner to The Gottman Relationship Checkup. A powerful online assessment tool designed to highlight a couple’s strengths and weaknesses and help them succeed.

  • Interpretation & analyzation of the Gottman Relationship Checkup results by Shelly prior to the Relationship Reset

  • 6 hours of intensive therapy on day one (4 hours per day on Days 2 & 3) for a total of 14 hours of therapy

  • In-session assessment and interventions based on Gottman Method Couples Therapy and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy

  • A personalized follow-up plan that helps couples build on the progress made in their couple’s therapy

  • Take-home tools and interventions to assist you in continuing the progress and change made during the therapy

  • Gottman relationship tool-kit
