"Lisa Kaplan is hands down the best therapist I've ever been to (and I myself am a therapist). Compassion, evidence-based skillfulness, and heartfelt care for our relationship from Lisa helped my partner and I see each other's inner children. There's just no way I can withdraw from or be argumentative when I see my partner's inner child in there. When she and I come from the place of our skills we learned from Lisa we literally don't argue. We went from nearly breaking up to being in the best relationship of our lives. I have the love we are all innately worthy of, simply because of Lisa Kaplan…
…Lisa's vibe is calm and gentle both virtually and in-person. The ambiance is perfect!"

Fair and unbiased. She's a good listener and offers practical and sound advice. Reading the other reviews, it's natural to be unhappy when someone doesn't take your position. The purpose of therapy isn't to have someone agree with you. It's really to help you work through your own issues and have a mature outside perspective.

My wife and I found Lisa to be extremely helpful and balanced during her sessions. She works with us regularly and we have seen real change and growth in our relationship. She was able to identify specific actions that were taking away from our goal of a happy marriage. We have been to a few therapists over the years and I have always felt that they were a bit biased towards my wife. I never felt that way here!

Lisa helped us see and solve a major obstacle and a bunch of smaller ones that got our relationship back on solid ground. Years later we are still very grateful for Lisa's gifts.

Lisa really is amazing! After 30 years of marriage we needed a tune-up. Lisa was able to get us back on track in no time! She taught us that it's all about communication and timing; she worked hard (and succeeded) at getting us to see the goodness in each other. Her methodology combined with a wonderful personality was super effective for us. Thank you so much Lisa!

My husband and I finally agreed to seek counseling after 27 yrs. Our marriage was struggling for a few years lacking in "healthy communication". She has helped us find each other all over again. My husband was adamant to NOT seek a therapists help for many years. We are truly grateful for Lisa's expertise on bringing the "spark" back into our marriage. Amazing how we can calmly listen and communicate since our first counsel. Her drive to listen and hear each others concerns was amazing to us. We now can recognize things in a much more positive way...Highly recommend Lisa for any marriage help one may need. She did wonders for us...

My husband and I hit an impasse several months ago and sought Lisa's help. Within one session we were back on the path to reconnecting. Lisa gave us a couple of excellent tools to use on an ongoing basis to communicate on a deeper and more productive level, and over the course of a couple of months she helped us practice using these tools. Our marriage has taken a wonderful turn and it was amazing how quickly we were able to move towards each other again, instead of away. We totally recommend Lisa.

Lisa is great! My husband and I decided to seek out a marriage counselor after 6 years of marriage and 2 children. We were both happy in our marriage, but it was not always ideal. We found ourselves having a difficult time communicating and repeating the same arguments over and over again. Lisa coached us through many of these arguments and gave us the communication tools to handle any that might arise in the future! We both really enjoyed our sessions with Lisa and found that it was so valuable to seek her help at this time in our relationship!

I originally contacted Lisa because we reached a point where we had a total communication breakdown to the point where we couldn't enjoy each other's company the same anymore. Lisa helped us learn how to communicate in a more healthy way. We rarely bicker anymore, but when we do, we now know how to get ourselves out of it quickly and keep the peace. We are now on the same team. We are so much happier now have fun together every day:) Thank you Lisa for helping us get back on track!!!

My husband and I were in a very negative place in our relationship. We weren't communicating and seemed more like roommates than a couple that had been together for almost 36 years. We knew we needed help. After the first visit with Lisa, we both knew that this was the person who was going to get us back on track. The "Imago" approach to couples counseling was so enlightening and made it easier for us to understand what we needed to do to start rebuilding a healthy and happier relationship. This is a new beginning for us. We are so very grateful to Lisa and all that she has taught us.

Lisa did a great job helping my husband and I reunite. After 28 years, raising children we had lost what we once had, but Lisa helped us find each other again. I would definitely recommend her to my friends. Thanks Lisa :)

My fiance’ and I found Lisa about a year-and-a-half ago when we were in the middle of wedding planning and moving in together (!). We couldn’t seem to stop fighting about everything, must less understand where the other was coming from. Lisa was a life (and marriage) saver. She really taught us to learn to listen to what the other is saying and try to understand where we are each coming from and why we each feel the way we do. My new husband and I have grown and matured so much through this process and Lisa came not a moment too soon.

Lisa is absolutely amazing!!!!!! She has been instrumental in helping to mend a relationship that , in my opinion, was beyond repair. We had been to a few couples counselors in the past that we thought were good but somehow we still ended up right back where we started after a "temporary bandaid" had been put in place. Once we started seeing Lisa we realized that we didn't know the first thing about working on our relationship. Without her patience, kindness and genuine interest in helping us heal as a couple, we never would have known just how much we really love each other and how much our relationship means to one another. 17 years together and we were ready to give up and walk away... now we are getting to know each other all over again and remembering why we fell in love 17 years ago. Truly amazing is the best description I can think of to describe my experience with Lisa.
