My wife and I are in our 60's and took Gal and Liron's "Breakthrough to Love" 2 day workshop. We both have done some couples counseling in the past and... read more have spent conscious effort to deepen our relationship. We were both deeply affected by the various instruction and experiential exercises offered in the workshop. Gal and Liron have designed a way to learn on multiple levels, they offered guidance and provided many opportunities for us to deepen our understanding of each other. They both create a very safe space to explore and normalize all types of relationship dynamics. We both felt a deeper ability to listen and to love each other. This was well worth our time and money!

  In my 22 years of marriage, I knew we weren't doing fabulously. Our communication was so-so. I felt we were going through the motions and I wanted to get back... read more some of the feeling I had in the beginning of my relationship. I wanted a workshop that was close by and not too expensive and I liked the fact that Gal and Liron were a married couple of therapists. The experience was great and so was the location. I have been to some other workshops but this was by far the best one I have attended. There was such good content and I learned new ways of looking at my issues. I feel I have new tools to deal with the problems that will come my way. As a lifelong learner, I'm glad that there is cutting edge research to explain some of why we humans do what we do.

  My partner & I were searching for a premarital workshop we could take before our upcoming wedding, as well as a couples therapist that could help us work through recurring... read more cycles of conflict in our relationship. My partner stumbled on The Couples Center, and we were amazed at the incredible positive reviews.

Well, we just returned from the "Love Made Simple" workshop this past weekend, the first to be held in person since the pandemic, and it was incredible. Both Gal & Liron are incredibly warm, empathetic, and knowledgeable, and you can tell that they have put an enormous amount of work into developing the material. I have read widely about relationships and individual therapy especially, and I was impressed at their ability to condense complex material into a simple yet powerful workbook.

Over the span of two days, we learned about what we both value most in love, our deepest vulnerabilities, how those sensitivities lead to cycles of conflict, the dynamics of vicious cycles, and in the premarital portion, how to plan a life vision together. At one point, I asked a rather vulnerable question, and Gal & Liron decided to pause the workshop in order to work with us in front of the group, which was not only healing for us, but many others in the group shared that this teaching moment was incredibly helpful for them as well. We were also supported by their amazing cast of therapists, who worked with each individual couple throughout the workshop.

We are excited to continue working with both Gal & Liron, as well as their incredible therapists. Don't hesitate to book this workshop or any other, whether you just started a new relationship or have been in one for a long time. This material is invaluable and we look forward to continuing to learn how to implement it in our relationship and beyond.

Thank you, Gal & Liron, for your work, for your vulnerability, and for your service!

  The Love Made Simple workshop was supportive and fun! I especially appreciated hearing real life experiences from Gal and Liron. As a therapist myself, I felt inspired and engaged. Recommend... read more for all couples!

  Believe the Yelp reviews! We attended Gal and Liron's virtual workshop this past weekend and it was phenomenal. They really help you understand why you and your partner... read more act and react in certain ways and give you approaches to do things more productively. The combination of the two of them (Gal's calm and thoughtfulness and Liron's energy and intuition about couples) also works really well - in both them explaining their own patterns but also in the way they answer the questions from different perspectives. While it was a long time to spend in front of a computer, there are adequate breaks and the material is so engaging, you don't realize the time passing by. My partner was very skeptical of a weekend- long workshop over Zoom and I was reluctant to not be in person, but we are both so grateful we invested the time and could work through a lot of emotional stuff in the privacy of our home. A huge thank you to Gal, Liron, and all of their assistant staff - you can tell they are so dedicated and genuinely care about helping each couple that attends their sessions. We learned so much about ourselves and each other and could not imagine a better way to go into this Valentine's Day!

  TLDR: Gal and Liron's new workshop provided a lot of tools and insights into elements of our identities.

When Chris and I took the first pre-marital course with... read more the Couples Center our lives and relationships were changed for the better. We eagerly signed up for the new template-based course and it exceeded our expectations.

I was excited to write a lengthy review of what we enjoyed about the workshop in hopes it could help others in their personal growth. Their phrase still resonates with me, "the best time to participate in therapy is when you don't have a lot of problems". We went into the first course intending to strengthen our current relationship. Little did we know we would uncover issues that we weren't aware of. Knowing these we were able to make changes that improved our relationship tenfold.

Our goal in the 2nd workshop was to solve our problems by becoming aware of them. The couples center once again was a step ahead. We learned that as problem solvers, some of our parts won't be solved with a logical or analytical approach. We discovered the power of getting in touch with our emotions and not always be in our heads, which is a hard and abstract approach, but life-changing. We now understand why this was a level 2 of the first course as we went a lot deeper into what shapes us in both a positive and negative way.

Just like the previous course Gal and Liron have built a comprehensive session with digestible tools we reference regularly. Each exercise was expertly laid out to make complicated ideas clear and was a stepping stone to a larger understanding. Even the most simple activity had the biggest impact on us. They also made some shifts to the structure so we had more time with one on one sessions with assistants, who did an excellent job of helping us process the material.

Instead of just becoming aware of problems, we became aware of deep-seated parts of our whole and acknowledging that they are the makeup of our identity, beliefs, and reactions. Knowing this empowered us to be able to be mindful of decisions, rather than just living by spontaneous reactions. This awareness was especially important to do together as partners to increase our empathy and understanding of each other. Previously we discovered how autonomous we were and the impacts it had on our connection. This time around we acknowledged our problem solving and analytic nature, which might prove effective in our day-to-day responsibilities, but could often impair our emotional connections. It doesn't mean we need to stop solving problems, but to at least be mindful of that habit and check that it is appropriate for that situation.
The Couples Center is a true gift and the work Gal and Liron are doing is fantastic. We love their passion for helping others and their psychology skills are terrific. We look forward to future workshops. Thank you.

  We learned so much from Gal and Liron's weekend couples communication class. They were very welcoming and along with the warmth from the other couples we felt very comfortable.... read more We have actively been using the tools as discussed and expirenced during the weekend class and look forward to the next class to further build our communication skills. I have been excited to share my positive experiences with friends and family, both married for many years and also newly engaged looking for premarital counseling. Thank you Gal & Liron! We will see you soon

  My fiancé and I participated in the pre-marital workshop this past weekend and it greatly exceeded our expectations. It was so great to be able to hear other couples... read more share their experiences in this workshop format. Through the exercises presented by Gal and Liron we also did a lot of self and partnership analysis. We left the weekend with a stronger bond and tools to help us stay in the positive relationship cycle. I highly recommend this workshop to all couples (not just engaged couples as the pre-marital portion is just the last part of the weekend course). One thing I would recommend is not doing the mini-course that is suggested to do before the workshop together with your partner without a counselor's help. We got through it but some of the topics could be inflammatory if done together so I think they'd be done best individually as thought exercises before the workshop. We'll definitely be doing this workshop every couple of years as a way to check in with our changing selves and relationship. Thanks Gal and Liron!

  Seriously one of the best things I could have invested in for my relationship. My partner and I participated in the Love Made Simple workshop. I didn't go in with... read more any expectations, just an intention to learn better communication skills and ways to continue growing as a couple. Wow, just wow. I was blown away with the workshop and more importantly, the results! During the workshop we followed a structured packet of information, partook in various exercises, met 1:1 with a counselor, and shared experiences via the group. It was all around an amazing experience and I would 100% do it again and would recommend it to anyone seeking growth/repair in their relationship and even with themselves. My partner and I have committed to apply what we've learned in the workshop and I can truthfully say we have never been better. Thank you Gal & Liron for an amazing experience and for your vulnerability and knowledge!

  We went into the Love Made Simple workshop hoping to figure out a way to start feeling more connected in our marriage on a daily basis. We'd gone to 7... read more or 8 sessions of couples therapy about 6 months prior with a therapist in our local area, and it was ok -- but we really wanted a faster breakthrough that would lead to lasting transformation. So we decided to give the workshop a try, even though we weren't sure it would deliver the type of support we needed.

Well, I'm almost at a loss for words because we were BEYOND blown away by the entire experience and how much our communication and sense of connection has improved since the workshop. Gal, Liron and their team created a truly safe, comfortable and fun virtual space for us to learn, go deep and grow together as a couple. Their insights and exercises helped us work through more in the first 1/2 day of the workshop than we did during all of our previous therapy sessions combined. And receiving personalized support in a private "Zoom Breakout Room" throughout the weekend was amazing too. We walked away from the weekend feeling significantly closer and happier in our relationship. And now, almost 2 weeks later, that feeling remains because we've been able to continue applying what we learned in the workshop. So, needless to say: we would DEFINITELY recommend this experience to any couple looking to significantly improve your romantic relationship in a short period of time.

  I worked with Gal for almost 2 years and can't speak highly enough about my experience.

Having tried working with a therapist a few times I found a... read more good fit with Gal's approach and methodology and was appreciative that I had the opportunity to work with him.

I also had the pleasure of attending some of The Couples Center's online events that they hosted during Shelter In Place which were very high quality, helpful and attended by a lot of couples!

  After searching online for the best couples therapy, I landed on The Couples Center and felt encouraged by the positive reviews, especially around their weekend workshop, "Love Made Simple." On... read more top of all the 5-star reviews, I got a taste of the amazing (free) content they share for couples to leverage, especially during this tricky time when we're all quarantined together 24-7.

I decided to pull the trigger and knew we were in good hands as soon as the virtual workshop started. Liron and Gal are extremely warm and authentic - you can really tell how much effort they've put into the workshop. They guided us through multiple topics, such as exploring our connection and identifying our blueprint for conflict. While there's no magic bullet for a successful relationship, I felt that I came away from the workshop with better fundamentals that I want to continue building on. It was worth every penny and I'm grateful to Liron and Gal for spending their weekend with us! I also loved the group format because when people share, you realize you're not alone and other couples are experiencing similar things. You're never forced to share though - they wouldn't call you out if you don't feel comfortable sharing.

Logistics: It's a 3-day online workshop due to SIP - 3 hours on Friday evening and 6 hours on Saturday and Sunday with plenty of breaks in between. It was held on Zoom with breakout rooms used for private exercises with assistants/Gal/Liron to help guide you through your thoughts and emotions. This was incredibly helpful and one of my favorite parts of the workshop. I thought that the virtual format worked really well here because it was so private.

I'd recommend The Couples Therapy for any couple looking to learn the right strategies for having a happy relationship!
