Linda Bazan, PhD, offers marriage counseling, pre-marital coaching, and couples relationship therapy using the Imago approach. Individual and group psychotherapy are also provided. Her office is in Pittsburgh, serving southwestern Pennsylvania and the tri-state area.

Why is it that the hopes and expectations we bring into our relationships so often are never fully realized? Why do many romances crash and burn after a brilliant launch? Is romantic love really sustainable?

The answer to the first two questions is that few of us, while growing up, are taught how to live effectively and realistically in relationships, so we just don't know how to do it. Nevertheless, the answer to that last question is a resounding, "Yes!" That's why we've created The Relationship Shop, a place for couples and singles to learn how to create satisfying, lasting relationships!

Singles, Couples and Group Formats are designed to help you:

• Understand why past relationships didn't work
• Break destructive patterns
• Deepen communication
• Resolve conflicts
• Learn how to be a loving partner

The rest of this website is organized to familiarize you with the Imago process and help you to begin to apply it to your own relationship. You might want to visit the page introducing Dr. Bazan and the way she works. Then you could check out the Upcoming Events to see if any scheduled programs suit your needs. The Frequently Asked Questions page is an interesting review of how Imago works. The Testimonials will show you how others have reacted to this work. The Reading List offers an array of relevant books. Finally click on the Contact page and get in touch personally with Dr. Bazan.
