Before I worked with Valerie, I never had an orgasm from intercourse. I thought something was wrong with my body. But, Valerie teached me how to release anxiety and learn how to notice sensations in my body that I wasn't noticing before because I was too distracted with all the thoughts in my head. And within a few weeks, I found out that nothing is wrong with me! And now, I look forward to sex with my husband.

The 90-Day Relationship Reset Core Program
The 90-Day Relationship Reset is a private, clinician-led program for couples who care deeply about their relationship but feel stuck in emotional distance, sexual disconnection, or recurring conflict.
​
Rather than open-ended therapy, this program offers a clear, time-bound pathway designed to create meaningful, lasting change. Each week has a defined focus, helping couples rebuild emotional safety, communicate with regulation, and restore intimacy without pressure or avoidance.
​
This work addresses the patterns beneath conflict and shutdown, so connection doesn’t just return, it becomes sustainable.
​

-
Weekly private sessions with Valerie McDonnell, a relationship and sex expert
-
A personalized diagnostic roadmap to guide the work
-
Practical tools for emotional regulation, communication, and intimacy
-
Direct support for sexual reconnection, not avoidance of it
Best For Couples Who:
-
Feel disconnected but want to repair, not drift apart
-

Are ready to work on emotional and sexual intimacy together
Investment: $4,500 per couple

Most couples begin with a Relationship Strategy Session to determine readiness and next steps.
Assessment & Relationship Readiness
​The Private Relationship Strategy Session is a focused, clinician-led session designed to assess patterns, clarify what’s getting in the way, and determine whether deeper work is needed.
​
Rather than guessing which service is right, this session helps you understand what’s actually happening in your relationship and what kind of support would be most effective.
Many couples leave with greater clarity, relief, and a shared understanding of next steps.
​
This session is often the first step before beginning the 90-Day Relationship Reset or a readiness-focused intensive.
​
-
One private, 60-minute session
-
Pattern assessment and clinical guidance
-
Clear recommendations for next steps
Investment: $400

Relationship Readiness Intensive
The Relationship Readiness Intensive is a short-term, individual program designed for people who want meaningful couples work, but feel internally blocked, overwhelmed, or reactive when intimacy or conflict arises.
​
This intensive focuses on understanding how past experiences shape anxiety, emotional reactions, desire, and comfort with closeness. Through trauma-informed support, you’ll build practical skills to regulate emotions, communicate more clearly, and approach intimacy in ways that feel safe rather than pressured.
​
This work removes the internal barriers that often make couples work feel unmanageable, so deeper relational repair can actually succeed.
Most individuals who complete this intensive continue into the 90-Day Relationship Reset once these foundations are in place.
​
-
Four private individual sessions
-
Support for anxiety, shutdown, reactivity, and performance pressure
-
Emotional regulation and boundary-setting skills
-
Preparation for sustainable couples work
