Good, loving long-term relationships require effort and the application of important skills such as good listening and communication skills, understanding each other’s differences, and showing appreciation and love to one another.

It is easy to understand why it is normal for intimate couples in a committed relationship to face difficulties in their relationships at one time or another. This is because all couples have differences in views, ideas, values, beliefs, and behaviors and, if not deal with adequately, these can lead to increased arguments, misunderstandings, resentments, and distances from one another. Often, the discontent and problems that result cannot be resolved on their own. That is when professional help with a skilled couple counseling can be of great value.

I understand the changes required and the skills and tools needed to improve relationships.

I help couples in committed relationships to make powerful insights, sustain lasting change and integrate healthy new relational skills to repair connection and trust, increase intimacy, improve communication, and deepen relational integrity.

I will help you and your partner learn simple practical tools and strategies for communication and understanding so that you can move forward in your relationship. Many of my clients’ report seeing significant shifts in the first few sessions

The simple truth is: relationships are complex

As you seek deeper, more sustainable connection, you’ll also experience uncomfortable yet necessary and powerful times of disconnect.

In recognizing the uncomfortable moments and reaching out – beyond your autopilot reactions and responses – real, relational healing happens. 

I’ll help you take personal responsibility for creating a safer relationship by keeping the focus on what you have influence over: you.

I draw from a powerful no bullshit therapeutic methodology called Relational Life Therapy (RLT).

RLT will help you to… 

…make powerful insights, sustain lasting change, and integrate healthy new relational skills into your daily life.

…address your most troubling issues head-on and target your problem behaviors, underlying core issues, and past traumas.

…move back into connection, work through infidelity and trust issues, increase intimacy, improve communication, and deepen relational integrity.

…hold yourselves, each other, and your relationship in warm regard.

Something has to change

You know this, of course.

Maybe you realized it when you found yourself on the sad end of yet another relationship that just fizzled out.

Maybe it was the millionth time you and your partner had that same stupid fight about the same stupid dishes.

Or maybe it was the day you realized that fear is calling the shots.

You know that things can’t go on like this.

What you don’t know is that these are actually all repetitions of the same problem.

Whether you’re struggling to find love, ready to get divorced over the dishes, or feeling small and stuck, the underlying issue is the same: disconnection.

Every relationship you have, starting with yourself and ranging all the way up to your relationship with the world, is built on connection. Get your connection with yourself right, and your relationships will inevitably benefit. Heal your relationships, and those joy-filled, healthy relationships ripple out and change the world.

But the flip side is also true: dis-ease and disconnection in your relationship with your Self and/or others, will have a ripple effect on all the others. 

This is where I come in

I’m Avi Har Paz and I love nothing more than helping people get real and reconnected in their relationships. I dedicated my life to study and help people apply relational skills to their relationships.

Being married and a family man for 25 years I know very well that being in a committed relationship takes work, I also know that it worth every bit of it. The simplicity of sharing your life with a partner that you feel safe with, that you can share anything with and that the feeling of belonging and warmth is the air that you breath in one of the exquisite joys of life, I wish it for everyone, and I love the fact that we can learn it and apply it in simple and practical ways.

So, if you’re ready to get real about your relationships, lean into your legacy, and come back into connection with yourself and your partner, lets talk.
