An Effective Approach to Improving Relationships
A pastoral counselor and psychotherapist with more than 25 years of experience, Rod Kochtitzky (Kuh tit skee) specializes in counseling couples regarding marriage and relationship issues.
COUNSELING PRACTICE
Rod serves couples seeking healing, growth, change, renewal and enhancement of their relationships through his private counseling practice and through a series of workshops scheduled throughout the year.
COUNSELING APPROACH
Rod's ecumenical approach is designed to help couples of all faiths build lasting, mutually satisfying and rewarding relationships that foster personal and spiritual growth. Certified as an advanced clinician in Imago Therapy, Rod specializes in educating and counseling couples using the approach developed by Harville Hendrix, Ph.D., an internationally known Pastoral Counselor and author of the best-selling Getting the Love You Want: A Guide for Couples and Keeping the Love You Find: A Guide for Singles.
The Imago approach enables couples to learn the basic principles of building a lasting relationship. Couples learn to:
- Understand why their personal expectations from love relationships are often not met.
- Develop the level of safety and intimacy that both partners need to support a solid, long-term commitment to the relationship.
- Perceive their partner as a distinct individual rather than an extension or reflection of themselves.
The goal is to enable couples to establish reality-based love relationships that serve as a solid foundation for personal change and growth - and to discover (or re-discover!) the joy and spiritual potential of being together.
