Relational Life Therapy
A groundbreaking aproach founded by Terry Real
You can’t connect to a relationship if you can’t connect to a person, and you can’t connect to a person if you can’t connect to yourself. Relational Life therapy (RLT) first reconnects people to themselves—their feelings, desires, and needs—and then reconnects them to their relationships. It teaches people how to achieve more passionate connections, fierce intimacy and greater empathy, through greater awareness of self and of other.

Love in Conflict Process
Most People have not been taught how to handle conflict in a way that promotes trust and deepens connection. This process will teach you the scaffolding to be able to come together to discuss differences while maintaining respect, connection and self awareness.
Gottman Method informed
Over five decades of rigorous, reliable science, Dr. John Gottman studied over 3000 couples, following some for as long as 20 years, to observe what predicted a happy marriage and what predicted divorce. They studied what they could observe in the couple's daily interaction, but they also studied what was left unspoken, and what was happening in their bodies. This lead to the Gottman Method, a series of teachings about how to foster a happy and healthy relationship.
Mindful Awareness
Throughout the whole therapy process is embedded methods and techniques that will allow each to become more self aware. This self awareness enables one to choose who they want to be in relationship and to create permanent changes.
