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 Marriage Therapist and 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 am a Couple Therapist - I approach psychotherapy from the relational
perspective, supporting the individuals in the partnership by way of the
partnership, itself. 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 Internal Family Systems Therapy, PACT Couple
Therapy and Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy in my Couple Counseling Practice. With Imago, 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.
I hope the information included in this site is helpful in your search. If
