What kinds of couples do we work with? All kinds… from couples who are in the early stages of their relationship and want to establish a strong foundation for their future to couples who have been together for 35 years and have struggled with the same issues for what seems like a lifetime.

Are any of these statements true for you?

“We handle money so differently and fight about it constantly. I am afraid that it’s going to destroy our relationship.”

“He says we never have sex. I feel like sex is all he’s interested in. What do we do?”

“Everything changed when we had kids. I feel like we are business partners instead of romantic partners. Is this how it is going to be forever?”

“For the last two years it seems like all we do is fight. If something doesn’t change this relationship is going to be over.”

“We recently started dating and are falling in love… but we don’t want to make the same mistakes we have in the past. Can we learn how to make this relationship work?”

With Talk Works you will overcome these and other conflicts quickly. We will observe you and your partner interacting, give a straight-forward assessment about your communication patterns and where they are creating problems within the relationship, teach you effective tools to overcome these problems, and guide you through transformative conversations so you can resolve the conflicts that have kept you stuck.

Our directive, no-nonsense approach will improve your relationship quickly, typically within 5 or 6 sessions. Old patterns of negative communication will be broken, conflict will be reduced, and intimacy will no longer be a struggle.

Relationships can and should be fulfilling. Intimate relationships are not required, so if you are choosing to be in one, shouldn’t it be adding to the quality of your life? We think so. We also believe that successful relationships don’t happen magically. Couples must work to create them and need to have the right tools to be able to do this.

Improving your relationship shouldn’t take years – and successful solutions aren’t found by dwelling on past mistakes. While every couple is different, with different issues to address, these two basic Talk Works principles remain the same in our work with every client. Because we won’t allow you to get stuck in the past, you’ll be able to embrace the present and look forward to the future.

The best part is that we provide our relationship rescue services in the comfort of your home, and by phone. Don’t want to hassle with the terrible Los Angeles traffic? Feel uncomfortable with the idea of giving up your privacy while sitting in an office waiting room? That’s why we come to you – and why we offer sessions by phone. But if you would prefer to come to us, we have offices in Long Beach, Tarzana and La Canada.
