I provide a wide array of services for married and unmarried, heterosexual and same-sex partners at all stages of the coupling process. I'm passionate about helping individuals and couples to develop necessary skills and knowledge to achieve their highest potential for joy, growth, and problem-solving. I also know that not every relationship can be saved, and work with those clients, individually or together, who need to let go as amicably as possible. *I am also a Certified Discernment Counselor providing specialized brief treatment for couples presenting with ambivalence about staying married or getting divorced.
In 2010 I launched Couplespeak, providing online products and services for relationship skills. My Couplespeak Series workbooks: "I'm Talking! Are You Listening?" and "Become Relationship Smart Without A Lifetime Of Therapy" are available on Amazon.com. Also available: many original articles about relationship issues, several published on Psych central.com.
Tune in to my BlogTalk Radio show, "The Couplespeak Relationship Forum" - podcasts aired monthly on Wednesdays 8:30 PM at www.BlogTalkRadio.com/SusanLager. Join me as I interview experts in various fields discussing compelling relationship issues, or sharing mini "life lessons" about living with more meaning and joy.
