Couple’s Therapy
Boston’s Relational Life Institute
Mentored directly by master trainer Terrence Real, author of The New Rules of Marriage. Based on Real’s work, Relational Life Therapy, or RLT (Relationallife.com) is at once deeply insightful, provocative, and empathic- and few other approaches positively transform the dynamic of a relationship as quickly.
Influenced by Dr. Sue Johnson’s Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT), whose fundamental message is simple: you improve your relationship by creating a real emotional connection and becoming attuned and responsive to your partner.

It is an action-oriented therapy. If you struggle with painful thoughts and feelings and are ready to develop a healthier approach to them, ACT is right for you.
