Did you know that most couples wait on the average of 6 years before getting help with a problematic relationship? This is too long to suffer or settle, when help is so available! My name is Mary Kay Cocharo and I'm a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Certified Imago Relationship Counselor. I have been helping individuals, couples and families get the love, harmony and connection they want and deserve for over 20 years. Imago is a powerful, deep model of relationship therapy based on the work of Harville Hendrix, PhD., author of Getting the Love You Want. Coming from this way of working, I can help you improve communication skills, deepen connection, create more intimacy, resolve conflicts, heal old hurts, and generally, get and give the love of your dreams.
Through the intentional dialogue process, couples are taught to be fully present to their partners by deep listening, validating and empathizing with their feelings. I'll help you to remove all negativity in the relationship, do away with criticism and contempt and improve your chances of getting your needs met. If you are parents, and want to improve your family relationships, this work is also for you! Singles wanting to explore their relationship patterns and learn how to select the perfect mate are also welcome. In addition to individual sessions, I offer workshops for couples about to be married. Start Right, Stay Connected is an 8 hour premarital format designed to guide engaged couples in the process of becoming committed. I am passionate about relationships and can help you no matter where you are or where you'd like to be. I believe that peace on the planet will begin at home. Healing our relationships is perhaps our most important task as a culture. Don't wait 6 years, in fact, don't wait another minute! Free 15 minute telephone consultations are available. Let me know how we might work together to improve your life.
