IMAGO Relationship Therapy

This approach to therapy works to help couples find – or restore – the connection and the intimacy that’s been missing in their relationship, rather than just focusing on the problems that have developed over time.

Finding the right therapy approach for your relationship challenges can feel overwhelming. Not every therapy method works the same way. Many couples tell me they struggle with the same issues: "We just can't talk to each other" and "Every disagreement becomes a fight."

The good news? You can learn better ways to connect and communicate. IMAGO therapy helps you understand what's really happening beneath those surface conflicts. We use a special process called intentional dialogue. This technique helps both partners feel truly heard—maybe for the first time in years.

As your IMAGO therapist, I see conflict differently. Instead of viewing disagreements as relationship disasters, I see them as chances to grow closer. This approach focuses on rebuilding the connection and intimacy you're missing. We won't just talk about your problems—we'll work on solutions that bring you together.

Transform Your Relationship in One Weekend

Here's something that might surprise you: your relationship can change dramatically in just one weekend. IMAGO specialists know that a Getting The Love You Want (GTLYW) workshop equals 3-6 months of regular couples therapy.

About the Workshop

The Getting The Love You Want® Couples Workshop comes from the famous book by Harville Hendrix, Ph.D. and Helen LaKelly Hunt, Ph.D. This New York Times bestseller has helped thousands of couples worldwide.

The workshop gives you and your partner practical tools and strategies. You'll learn how to create a relationship that truly satisfies both of you. Think of it as a guided journey toward the partnership you've always wanted.

What Makes This Workshop Special

This is an educational experience, not traditional therapy. You might find it healing and life-changing, but it's designed as learning time together. Sharing with the group is welcome but never required.

Most exercises happen between you and your partner in quiet, private moments. The beautiful part about learning with other couples? You'll discover that your struggles aren't unique. Other couples face the same challenges you do.

That feeling of being alone in your relationship problems? It starts to fade when you're surrounded by couples working on similar issues. Relationships are hard work for everyone. That's why IMAGO workshops help thousands of couples across 20 countries on five continents. The reason is simple: they work.

Your Workshop Experience

Here's what your 2.5 days will include:

  • Friday evening start, Sunday afternoon finish
  • Your own Getting the Love You Want manual with proven techniques
  • Live demonstrations of communication methods that work
  • Vision planning sessions to take your relationship from ordinary to extraordinary
  • Practice time throughout the weekend to try new skills with your partner

Even though you'll learn with other couples, you'll have plenty of private time together. You can explore your own relationship without any group interaction. You don't have to share anything you're not comfortable sharing.

Couples who attend tell us the experience feels safe, private, and comfortable. You'll leave with real tools you can use right away.

Payment Methods: Cash, Check, Credit Card

I am an out-of-network provider, and I do not currently accept insurance or participate in any Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs). If you are unsure if you have out-of-network benefits, please contact your insurance company to ask if your plan offers mental health benefits including counseling. If so, you may also inquire about your reimbursement rate and whether you need to meet their deductible. Many of my clients choose to file a reimbursement claim with their insurance company and some receive as much as 80% reimbursement for their session cost. If you plan to file with your insurance company, I am happy to provide you with a receipt that includes the billing codes required--please just let me know. If you have an FSA card, you are welcome to use that for payment.
