Welcome
Are you visiting this site hoping to enhance your marriage or repair a
troubled relationship? If so, be assured, you are not alone. All intimate
relationships have conflict and all committed partnerships go through
struggle. Conflict is a natural, inevitable, even valuable part of the
growth and development of a committed love relationship. Your hopes for real
change and lasting love can be realized: There is a new way to love -
a way to heal the pain, repair rupture and transform relationship
troubles into the secure and passionate connection we all desire with
our partner.
My name is Laura Jean Bell and I am a Couple Counselor, available to help you and your partner find your way and do just
that. As an Imago Relationship Therapist, I come to you with a compassionate
and equitable perspective for understanding intimate love
partnership and a user-friendly way of navigating through the
struggles to connect. Imago Relationship Therapy is a new way to love.
I specialize as a Couple Therapist, using a systems approach to psychotherapy and relational processes in the therapy work. Relational and individual healing and growth are achieved for partners by way of the
partnership, itself. As we say in Imago, the relationship is the therapy. For some, this is a radical approach. Helping couples
understand their two person system and helping partners stretch into meeting
the needs of the relationship - so that the space between them becomes
secure and connecting - is uniquely pivotal for true relationship
change and paradoxically powerful for each
partner's individual healing and personal growth.
Imago is a relational theory and practice that gives couples and individuals an insightful understanding of their relationship troubles and a roadmap for practical change and real transformation that is compassionate and makes sense. A seasoned therapist with over 30 years experience, I incorporate a variety of therapeutic modalities in helping partners connect, heal and grow. I have specialized training in Couple Therapy and my Private Practice is devoted to couples and Couple Counseling.
Imago Relationship Therapy is the core model that grounds my work. Additionally, I incorporate Intimacy From The Inside Out Couple Therapy, Internal Family Systems Therapy, PACT Couple
Therapy and Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy in my Couple Therapy Practice. With Imago, IFIO, IFS, PACT and EFT, I offer you and your partner a more
mindfully aware, mutually respectful and empathic path to a new way to love.
