My name is Sarah Wolfer
And I am a licensed psychotherapist who is passionate about working with queer, non-monogamous, and neurodivergent humans, probably because these are all important identities that I hold and I want to help my communities heal. I have seen the transformative power that therapy can play in our healing journeys and I am prepared to help you along your own healing journey, here in paradise. Sometimes, we need something more than therapy in an office once a week, and this is what this therapy retreat in paradise can do for you. Come relax and work through what you need to heal here... and we will take care of the rest.

Queer Couples Group Therapy Retreat

Imagine this: You and your partner decide to take a “therapy vacation” to this scenic beach town in Mexico where you will join 3-6 other queer couples and receive 12 hours of group therapy workshops, activities, discussions, a private and a couples massage, gourmet plant-based food, and luxury beach-side accommodations where every detail is prepared for you. Additionally you will receive a pre-retreat Gottman’s couples therapy assessment, a pre-retreat virtual 60 minute private therapy session, a post-retreat group therapy session with the other retreat couples, as well as a 60-minute private couples follow-up therapy session. This totals to over 15 hours of therapeutic work over the course of the retreat experience and is equivalent to over 4 months of therapy work in the office. Here, you can work on your therapy goals (and your relationship) in a safe, nurturing, and relaxing beachside private resort, with our team ready to help you every step of the way.
Here's what it would look like:
Pre-Retreat
Prior to the retreat, you and your partner will complete a couples therapy assessment so we can get an idea of how to customize this therapy retreat for you and your unique relationship needs and goals. After the assessment is complete, we will schedule a pre-retreat, 60 minute private and virtual couples therapy intake session to ensure we are on the same page about what we will be working on together during your stay. This will mark the official start of your therapeutic journey with Paradise Wellness.
Day 1
September 25th
Arrival
Fly into Puerto Escondido airport and check-in at your new ocean front home anytime after 3pm for the next 5 days. Once settled in, we will have our welcome dinner for all couples at the retreat, walk-through the schedule for your stay, get to know each other more, and have a chance to ask any questions you have lingering.


Day 2-4
September 26th -
September 28th
Therapy Intensive
Wake up with the sun shining on your face and have a calm morning at the beach with a gourmet plant-based breakfast and coffee prepared just for you. We will spend a couple hours together in the morning for our first group therapeutic session before you have a break to process and reflect on what we discussed. Lunch will be prepared for you in the early afternoon before we meet again for another few hours of workshops, breakout sessions, and therapy activities, customized for LGBTQIA+ couples. In between the sessions, you will receive a private and/or a couples massage to help you process and reflect on what you have been working on. We will also have various group and private activities available in addition to plenty of time for you and your partner to relax and rejuvenate together. You will have the evenings to yourselves, with dinner served in the early evening each day. There will be a total of 4 therapeutic hours daily on days 2-4.



Day 5
September 29h
Departure
On our final day together, you will wake up, enjoy your breakfast and coffee, and we will then meet for a final group therapy session to reflect on and process everything you learned and healed during your stay. We will come up with some goals for how to bring these insights into your everyday life, after the therapy retreat is complete. You will then check out by 12pm and can extend your stay in Puerto Escondido if you like, or you can fly back home through the Puerto Escondido airport.
Post Retreat
We will provide you and your partner with supplemental materials to take home with you at the conclusion of your retreat. We will also reconnect virtually about a month after your retreat ends from the comfort of your own home to talk about how it's been going for you. In this 60 minute virtual private couples therapy session, we will engage in meaningful discussion, share progress, and set future goals to help support your ongoing journey towards self-discovery and wellbeing. We will also have a virtual 90 minute group follow-up session for all attendees of the retreat about 4-6 weeks after the retreat ends.
