Dr. Love Keeps Marriage
Sparks Alive

By LEON ALLIGOOD

Staff Writer for The Tennessean

Reporter Leon Alligood was kind

to tag me “Dr. Love” in his

2008 Valentine’s Day article,

but I’m really not

a “doctor” at all.

I hold a Master’s degree in divinity but no doctoral degrees.

Rod Kochtitzky, M.Dvi

Pastoral Counselor and Psychotherapist with the Pastoral Center for Healing
 

Fellow in the American Association of Pastoral Counselors
 

Advanced Clinician and Workshop Presenter in Imago Relationship Therapy

 

 

 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 approach is designed to help couples of all faiths and of those of no religious belief 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.

We both needed reminders of why we love each other and the things we love.  Often it is hard to express.  We were able to do that here.  Also, we were able to openly express our needs and truly feel heard by our partner.

Comment from May 2009 workshop graduate



Eighteen years of an okay to good marriage had allowed us to stagnate and to accept the last seven years of small hurts and fears without resolution.  Imago gives us the tools to grow an “OK marriage” which causes pain into a thriving joyful partnership.  The weekend is like three giant strides on the journey.  Comment from May 2009 workshop graduate

 

Rod,
The story I tell myself (and others) is that my marriage was saved by an amazing IMAGO therapist.  Thank you for helping us get back on track to getting the love we want! Comment from workshop and counseling graduate
