and safety, repair a loss of connection and/or avoid an unwanted
divorce.

Couples Therapy
For couples in any stage of relationship. Meet with Ms.

relationship. In the beginning, weekly sessions are encouraged.
The first session, (and most subsequent sessions,) are 80
minutes.
• Couple
Intensives
Couples sometimes need
or desire more than the standard 80 minute session. Intensive
meetings, lasting four to six hours, or even several days,
can be tailored to meet your needs. Extended
sessions may be followed by several 80-minute sessions,
or you may come for several days in a row, two hours each
day. This program is helpful for people with difficult schedules,
wthose ho travel, live far away or are in crisis. Meetings
are held in either Ms. Reichlin's office or in your home.
• Weekend
Workshops Hands

for the least investment of time and money. In just two
days, (or the equivalent), enhance and divorce-proof your

INDIVIDUAL THERAPY
Ms. Reichlin
enjoys working with individuals as well as couples. In her
work with individuals, she integrates Imago with the use
of Voice Dialogue:
an amazing psychospiritual approach to consciousness and
transformation that facilitates an in-depth awareness and
understanding of the many selves that make up our psyche.
• Relationship
Issues: For anyone seeking
to improve their relationship skills or to improve or save
a marriage or committed love relationship.

Adjustment: For anyone
seeking to heal from a divorce or break-up of a comitted
love relationship.
•
Therapy for
Singles: For single women
and men wishing to remove personal barriers to finding and/or
keeping a loving relationship in their lives.
__________________________________________
Orientation
Ms.
Reichlin works primarily from an Imago Relationship Therapy
perspective. Therapy, however, is not a one-size-fits-all
endeavor. Combining Imago with other approaches simply makes
good sense when meeting the unique needs of all those who
seek help.
The
toolbox of any 30+ year veteran therapist will undoubtedly
contain a wide range of skills and expertise gleaned from
many years of experience and training. In Ms. Reichlin’s
case, this includes training in Solution
Oriented Therapy, Voice
Dialogue, Family Therapy,
Family of Origin Therapy,
and Sex Therapy.
______________________________________________________
Length and
Frequency of Sessions
Sessions
are held on a once-a-week to once every two-week basis. Initial
sessions are an hour-and-a-half. Years of experience working
with couples have shown that the depth of discussion needed
to make significant change in a relationship is often difficult
to achieve in the standard
50 minute therapist hour. Thus, most couple sessions are also
an hour-and-a-half. Individuals are seen either for an hour
or an hour-and-a-half, depending on their preference.
______________________________________________________
Office Hours
First
appointments begin on the hour or half-hour. Therapy appointments
begin at ten minutes after the hour or half-hour
to provide Ms. Reichlin time between sessions.

general, office hours are:
