- Repeating the same conversations
- Making slow or minimal progress

The Imago Couples Intensive
Why Couples Come to Me
In my 35 years as a marriage counselor, it is more typical than not, that couples come to my office in a marital crisis. If they are on the brink of break-up, they are in no mood, and in no condition, to embark on a long course of counseling.
They need help now. They need to make changes now.
A Different Approach
It was in response to this need for immediate relief that I developed The Imago Couples Intensive that I have successfully used with hundreds of couples as a Marriage and Family Therapist.
This concentrated, intensive approach to working with couples has been compared to months or years of other therapy. I have found this method of working with couples to be far more effective in achieving immediate, sustained, positive change than the more common practice of meeting for a one-hour therapy session, on a weekly basis, over a long period of time.
“Love is not effortless. It requires mindful commitment to behave in the best interest of your partner; to make daily deposits into the emotional account of your beloved.”
Immediate, Positive Change is Necessary
I tell couples at the beginning of our intensive that profound, positive change in your marriage is not only possible – it is essential to decide to turn the course of your relationship around immediately.
Most of us resist change until our feet are put to the fire, until the pain has become too intense to endure the climate of the existing marriage any longer.
Crisis as Opportunity
When a marriage reaches a crisis point it opens up the opportunity, perhaps for the first time, for rapid, life-altering change to occur. Crisis can be a wake-up call for couples to make necessary changes and move toward a fresh start.
Why Time Matters
We don't ask someone with a life-threatening injury to wait around for help. We take aggressive, life-saving measures immediately.
The Imago Couples Intensive offers immediate help if you want to bring your marriage back from the brink of separation or divorce, or want to quickly make changes in your marriage.
A marital crisis calls for drastic measures. This is not the time for group therapy, a marriage seminar, or simply self-help. You need a licensed, very experienced clinician with specialized training in intensive couples counseling, who believes more in saving marriages than in divorce.
Crisis Work Is Different
Crisis work is different from growth work with individuals or couples. Profound change must take place quickly, and must be sustainable. That is the goal of The Imago Couples Intensive.
Deciding to participate is a couple's first bold step toward healing and saving their marriage.
A Commitment Worth Making
After learning structured communication techniques and intentional behaviors I usually advise my clients facing the divorce dilemma, especially if there are children involved, to commit to staying in the marriage and doing the relationship work for a limited amount of time – 4 to 12 weeks.
After a short time it will become evident if their new, intentional behaviors are creating desired change in their marriage. We are looking for positive progress, not perfection.
You Don't Have to Face This Alone
I often tell couples in my practice that a therapist is like training wheels. “You use the therapist until you both are up and rolling, and feel confident.”
Couples do not have to face these relationship struggles alone. There is help available.
