Ms. Barbara J. Reichlin

I specialize in helping couples and individuals in all stages of relationship, (single, engaged, and married), learn the skills needed to form loving, lasting partnerships. A therapist for 30+ years, I utilize several approaches, but primary among them is Imago* Relationship Therapy. Imago teaches a simple yet powerful communication tool that is ideal for anyone wishing to learn effective communication. I have been told that I have an ability to relate on both rational and emotional levels, which seems to appeal to both men and women. I enjoy humor and use it in my sessions to lighten the work when appropriate.

I adopt an active role in helping couples contain emotions that would otherwise stall progress toward goals. Reactivity is often quickly and dramatically reduced, paving the way for clearer, more respectful and open communication. Partners reach new levels of understanding, respect and connection, often in the first session.

Engaged couples and those interested in quick progress will want to explore 2 workshops: the powerful Imago Weekend for couples and a new, one couple pre-marital workshop. *Imago (i-MAH-go) Therapy is fully described in the NY Times best-selling, Getting the Love You Want, by Harville Hendrix, PhD.
