The Turbocharger That Is Marathon Couples Therapy
Is weekly couples therapy not creating the momentum you hoped for? You're not alone. Many couples begin traditional weekly counseling only to find themselves stuck in a familiar cycle: two steps forward, one step back. After each session, the pressures of daily life—parenting, work, and stress—can slowly pull couples back into old habits.
Progress is possible—but for couples looking to make faster, deeper change, there’s a powerful alternative: Marathon Couples Therapy on Vashon Island.
Why Marathon Couples Therapy Works So Well
Unlike traditional therapy, Marathon Couples Therapy condenses 12 hours of focused, uninterrupted work into a single weekend. That’s 12 hours of deep dive—without the return to regular life in between.
Instead of “gaining insight” one week and forgetting it the next, couples stay immersed in their growth. The momentum builds hour by hour. Old patterns don’t have time to take hold again. This uninterrupted format leads to transformative breakthroughs in less time.
The Vashon Island Advantage
Located just a short ferry ride from Seattle or Tacoma, Vashon Island offers the perfect setting for a weekend therapy retreat. Couples not only experience intensive sessions, but also have space in between to reflect, connect, and reset—together.
Popular ways to recharge between sessions include:
Walks through protected island forests
Biking to and picnics on the beach
Perusing the local farmers market & self-serve farm stands
Kayaking or paddleboarding in Quartermaster Harbor
Relaxing in cozy, private island accommodations
This peaceful environment supports emotional safety, so couples can show up more openly and vulnerably for the work of rebuilding their relationship.
Is Marathon Couples Therapy Right for You?

Couples in crisis, on the brink of separation.
