Your warmth and kindness, your faith in me, in this work, and in goodness are contagious. Your astounding courage and integrity has cast a beam of light into the shadowy places in yourself—myself—with acceptance, perspective and kindness that leaves no room for shame; only illumination, compassion, growth and humor.

Skill-based love is the most romantic and the most enduring… PAIRS is the Cadillac of programs.

​

—Diane Solee, Director, The Coalition for    Marriage, Families and Couples Education

 

Taking from psychoanalysis, psychology, psychiatry and counseling the essence of their change-producing techniques… [PAIRS is] a synergistic force that helps individuals and couples find positive change to be relatively easy.

—Clifford Sager MD, Director, The Marriage and Family Clinic at Cornell Medical Center

​

Arguably the most unusual innovative development in psychology today. Skimming the cream from virtually every brand of psychology, PAIRS is imaginative, hilarious, comprehensive, surprising…

​

​

The [PAIRS] work and process that I have witnessed were among the finest that I have seen in my experiences in the worlds of psychotherapy…
