So, let’s just say, I think it’s helpful when you like your therapist, and at a minimum, important you trust them. If you think you’d fit well with a therapist who is friendly and assertive, flexible and organized, fun and challenging, knowledgeable and humble, and don’t let me forget, loaded with real life experience, you’ve come to the right place. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3de2b7b3a2a7075e12d533/5185eb98-52b4-4de8-9fe0-7de02224f6f7/clock+graphic.png Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3de2b7b3a2a7075e12d533/e292122f-cbb1-4a3b-b3d0-38c1df0364b4/Weekend+Retreats.png Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3de2b7b3a2a7075e12d533/e26f813f-2917-4e40-bad2-b6de01df3ff1/purple-green-graphic-of-phone.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3de2b7b3a2a7075e12d533/e6733a7e-1659-4ed4-9c86-41c03d626245/Green-Beige-Bird%27s-Nest-Graphic.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3de2b7b3a2a7075e12d533/441fd0da-4fdb-4894-9418-a92c7d15cf8f/Green-beige-lightening-bolt-graphic.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3de2b7b3a2a7075e12d533/65ec4481-7e59-4d7c-82bf-d6efda1f701e/green-beige-graphic-of-broken-heart.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3de2b7b3a2a7075e12d533/b9d7ef91-adcc-4006-89c7-2d23338e39e4/gree-beige-graphic-of-person-falling-asleep.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3de2b7b3a2a7075e12d533/9d98fb7a-eeb2-4adc-a2af-3945a3f2db02/green-beige-graphic-person-at-crossroad-scratching-head-in-thought.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3de2b7b3a2a7075e12d533/1c120c04-0e08-4247-9e91-6c43a420c08c/green-beige-graphic-wedding-bands-looped-together.png Home https://www.amywalkerlmft.com/contact daily 0.75 2024-09-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3de2b7b3a2a7075e12d533/79a4243c-119d-4340-a776-ededfd86f3e5/purple-green-graphic-of-phone.png Contact - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.amywalkerlmft.com/about-me-couples-counselor daily 0.75 2025-02-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3de2b7b3a2a7075e12d533/897f7773-285f-444a-9401-c632e2b080b4/Amy-Walker-laughing-out-loud-.png About Me Some Fun Facts About Me When I’m not in session with therapy clients, I’m probably taking a Peloton Power Zone class (because I love stats and metrics), researching and soaking up all things Couple Therapy, or discovering a new restaurant or recipe to enjoy over the weekend. I have a husband (not my first;) and two fabulous cats, Jake & Lyla. I love coffee but never finish the cup and turn to music when I need to regroup or get a boost of inspiration. I’m energetic and assertive in and out of session, and I’m also an introvert (insert- everyone laughs)! In general, I have a great passion for helping people make practical changes that are reachable and sustainable. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3de2b7b3a2a7075e12d533/b4ee1e92-8d26-4852-ac1e-d3d3da5e27a1/Amy%27s-Cat-jacob.png About Me Amy's cat, Jacob https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3de2b7b3a2a7075e12d533/e5ccb029-12fb-4910-96ec-5fcef2194a5f/Amy%27s-Cat-Lyla.png About Me Amy's cat, Lyla https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3de2b7b3a2a7075e12d533/bd13ac4b-6d73-42b4-8532-cca4e4a8fbd7/Amy%27s-parent%27s+dog-Riley.png About Me Amy's parents' dog, Riley with a green bean in his mouth https://www.amywalkerlmft.com/office-policies-rates daily 0.75 2025-07-27 https://www.amywalkerlmft.com/weekend-retreats daily 0.75 2025-10-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3de2b7b3a2a7075e12d533/55fa1fa0-9763-46de-890f-c23e1fb52e3f/grahic-of-beige-green-burgundy-laughing-emoji.png Weekend Couples Retreats - All kidding aside… I want you to imagine a weekend dedicated to one thing and one thing only—the two of you getting a real plan in place—one that works! And although weekend couples retreats aren’t the norm (yet ;), they sure are effective! And no worries, they’re not just for married couples. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3de2b7b3a2a7075e12d533/f2ba56ce-afc7-437f-bf7a-f9a0ec2c28f7/graphic-of-green-and-brown-calendar.png Weekend Couples Retreats - 1. BUSY SCHEDULES Many couples have chosen not to try traditional therapy sessions or have actually attempted and dropped out because life got too hectic. Finding 60 or 90 minutes for weekly or bi-weekly appointments can feel impossible while trying to juggle things like work schedules, childcare, and all the other stressors Covid has introduced to our lives. This is not to say that traditional weekly appointments are ineffective or inferior to weekend intensives. They are absolute game changers for a lot of couples in a lot of situations. Some couples might prefer to spend a larger amount of time, less frequently. In one weekend, you will be able to accomplish what would typically take between 3-6 months of traditional weekly therapy. It adds up to about 12-18 hours (depending whether you book a 1, 2, or 3 day retreat) that we spend together over the weekend, and it flies by. Couples are amazed how much ground we cover. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3de2b7b3a2a7075e12d533/b4bfedc4-79e2-4ae9-8f37-6d95e3930b2e/burgundy-graphic-of-heart.png Weekend Couples Retreats - 2. MOMENTUM On a weekend marriage retreat, you will benefit greatly from the continuity and rhythm provided by our uninterrupted work. I think most couples therapists would agree that traditional weekly sessions often feel choppy for everyone, including the therapist. On more occasions than I can count, I had to end session just when sh%t was starting to happen! Damn it! So, my point is, when you book a couples weekend retreat, you get me all to yourself! Of course we take necessary breaks to keep everyone content, energized, and productive. My private office includes a downstairs kitchen, making it perfect for grabbing a snack, coffee, or tea. I’ll have a lot of goodies for you to choose from. You’ll be comfy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3de2b7b3a2a7075e12d533/c6895f27-b67f-44bb-a139-0cdedc36c9a4/graphic-of-brown-and-burgundy-magnifying-glass.png Weekend Couples Retreats - 3. FOCUS Traditional weekly sessions are often squeezed in between all the other important obligations you have. Many couples find it tough to shift gears from work or parent mode to therapy mode, making it almost necessary to spend the first 15 minutes unwinding and acclimating into the session. Although the common 15 minute transitioning periods are 100% valid and often necessary for many couples, I’d be lying if I said I find them to be a good use of everyone’s time. At a weekend intensive, you can say buh-bye to the useless 15 minute transitions and hello to efficiency! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3de2b7b3a2a7075e12d533/55011b03-85e1-47fe-a791-cb3971708a63/graphic-of-a-hand-pulling-off-a-bandaid.png Weekend Couples Retreats - 4. IMMEDIACY Could it be, you’re simply DONE talking about a better relationship and READY to get after it—like ripping off a band-aid kind of getting after it? Many couples want relationship help ASAP. They don’t want to drudge through months of weekly appointments. They want more immediate results. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3de2b7b3a2a7075e12d533/62818605-8921-4e64-85ac-4f09ccb88556/graphic-that-reads-woo-hoo-in-excitement.png Weekend Couples Retreats - 5. FUN & GROWTH You and your partner don’t have to be struggling or unhappy in order to book a weekend retreat with me. In fact, It would be much better to come visit me now, when your commitment level isn’t in question, and you still enjoy one another’s company. Working with seriously dating and engaged couples is so refreshing! I love the intent and eagerness they bring to the experience. Let me help you set your relationship up for success! We will expand on your strengths as well as help you identify the obvious, and not so obvious, dynamics that might trip you up in the future. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Weekend Couples Retreats https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Weekend Couples Retreats https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694644871-IC85FNH781UNZSZEGHDR/Aro+Ha_0428.jpg Weekend Couples Retreats https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3de2b7b3a2a7075e12d533/e39d330b-c4d5-4996-94c4-973716b1cd7f/weekend+retreats+banner+2024.png Weekend Couples Retreats https://www.amywalkerlmft.com/restaurants daily 0.75 2024-09-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3de2b7b3a2a7075e12d533/8fa666af-2831-44a1-b2a3-77a290907318/Buccan-Palm-Beach-logo.png Restaurants https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3de2b7b3a2a7075e12d533/382b921d-fd41-4d1d-8e45-a4893ec18e37/Grato-west-palm-beach-logo.png Restaurants https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3de2b7b3a2a7075e12d533/22dc451c-ddf6-4b01-8163-09e4fd2333d7/Echo-Palm-Beach-logo.png Restaurants Rooftop Pool at Canopy Hotel in West Palm Beach, Florida https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3de2b7b3a2a7075e12d533/4f8e9f98-ed7a-4124-a038-db4a2b0ac704/Il-Bellagio-west-palm-beach-logo.png Restaurants https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3de2b7b3a2a7075e12d533/1afad0a2-1062-4043-987a-b17d14e70020/Lynoras-west-palm-beach-logo.png Restaurants Rooftop Pool at Canopy Hotel in West Palm Beach, Florida https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3de2b7b3a2a7075e12d533/5b6c4ac6-871c-4818-b1d4-8b073a5405fb/Roccos-Tacos-west-palm-beach-logo.png Restaurants https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3de2b7b3a2a7075e12d533/465e8581-6ada-4798-88a5-27c463bcad0b/HMF-The-Breakers-Palm-Beach-logo.png Restaurants Rooftop Pool at Canopy Hotel in West Palm Beach, Florida https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3de2b7b3a2a7075e12d533/e70762fe-870f-4029-af35-b625132dd787/Elisabettas-west-palm-beach-+logo.png Restaurants https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3de2b7b3a2a7075e12d533/93df0694-74b1-42c7-af6f-1b1394e6aa07/True-Food-Kitchen-west-palm-beach-logo.png Restaurants https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3de2b7b3a2a7075e12d533/ec3478e8-cbe6-4ddc-95f9-bf44826e1a15/Meraki-juice-logo.png Restaurants https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3de2b7b3a2a7075e12d533/40199732-61b1-4b69-a1e6-c703286142df/Sloans-Ice-Cream-west-palm-beach-logo.png Restaurants https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3de2b7b3a2a7075e12d533/6abbdeda-4e65-48a7-bd1e-959ef6c025b9/Planta-west-palm-beach-logo.png Restaurants Rooftop Pool at Canopy Hotel in West Palm Beach, Florida https://www.amywalkerlmft.com/weekly-appointments daily 0.75 2024-09-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3de2b7b3a2a7075e12d533/eb03898f-aab1-48db-bd8a-e491cc027c8a/In-Person+sessions.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3de2b7b3a2a7075e12d533/bec41f5a-9096-4fe9-acc0-7b8302a06fe2/video+sessions.png https://www.amywalkerlmft.com/hotels daily 0.75 2025-03-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3de2b7b3a2a7075e12d533/9f5ff629-e9a9-4dfa-b3fb-13120d350be8/Canopy-west-palm-beach-rooftop-pool.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3de2b7b3a2a7075e12d533/28b54db9-1161-444c-bf5b-a2a238926662/The-Breakers-Palm-Beach-suite.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3de2b7b3a2a7075e12d533/9f206ca2-906e-484f-8c37-9558da2220d3/Screenshot+2025-03-11+at+10.53.57+AM.png
