All Things New in Minnesota offers therapy retreats and intensives designed to help women reconnect with themselves and couples reconnect with each other through extended sessions rooted in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).
-- Therapy intensives and retreats at All Things New are built on the belief that real transformation requires more than what a standard 50-minute session can offer. For couples therapy, the intensive format allows partners to move past surface-level frustrations and into the deeper emotional patterns driving their conflict, creating safety and restoring connection through EFT for couples. For women who feel lost in the demands of motherhood, career, relationships, and life transitions, the same concentrated format provides the time and space to reconnect with the authentic self buried beneath years of overextension, people-pleasing, and the exhausting cycle of feeling "too much" and "not enough" at the same time.
Led by Sara Smith, MA, LMFT, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 13 years of experience in the mental health field, All Things New supports both women navigating identity loss, overwhelm, and disconnection from themselves, and couples facing communication breakdowns, emotional distance, and the painful cycles that leave partners feeling more like roommates than partners. Sara holds advanced training in both Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), as well as having backgrounds in EMDR and Discernment Counseling, and brings a compassionate, authentic, and non-judgmental presence to every session.
"The most meaningful work often begins right around the 40-minute mark of a session, which is exactly when a traditional hour is wrapping up," said Sara Smith of All Things New. "Whether it is a woman realizing that the confident, capable person she thought she lost has been inside her all along, or a couple getting past the argument about the dishwasher and into the real wound underneath, that deeper work needs time and space. Therapy intensives provide both."
As demand grows for immersive therapy retreats and intensives across Minnesota, All Things New continues to serve women and couples who are ready for meaningful, lasting change. For couples, sessions draw on EFT for couples to help partners identify the pursue-withdraw cycles eroding their intimacy and build new patterns rooted in safety and secure connection. For women, Internal Family Systems (IFS) provides a framework for understanding the inner world, unburdening the overworked and hurting parts of themselves, and allowing the strong, wise self to lead again. The practice offers two intensive formats: a virtual option featuring three consecutive days of extended sessions and an in-person, private therapy retreat with intentional rest and reflection built into the experience. Custom formats are also available based on each client's unique healing goals.
Women and couples who engage in therapy retreats and intensives with All Things New often experience renewed clarity, a deeper sense of emotional safety, restored communication, and a stronger foundation of connection with themselves and their partners that carries forward long after sessions end. The practice's approach prioritizes transformation over temporary relief by helping clients access the deeper emotional needs beneath recurring patterns and develop new ways of showing up for themselves and each other.
All Things New is an LGBTQIA+ affirming practice, and all standard sessions are delivered through a secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform, making professional therapeutic support accessible to clients throughout Minnesota. A free 30-minute consultation is available to help prospective clients determine whether a therapy retreat or intensive is the right fit. Women and couples across Minnesota seeking therapy retreats, intensives, or therapeutic support are encouraged to contact All Things New to learn more.
