This website is designed to offer you a number of ways to address the problems in your relationship. You will find informative articles, an advice column where I will directly answer your questions, and contact information to schedule a free 15 minute phone consultation or to make an appointment for couples therapy. Couples therapy is offered in my office which is located in Bucks County, approximately 25 minutes north of Philadelphia, maximizing convenience and privacy. All correspondence and interactions are conducted with the highest level of confidentiality. This site is hosted entirely by myself, with you in mind. Your questions, comments and participation are not only welcome, but encouraged. Please do read the disclaimer section, as I offer column advice to be helpful and not as a substitute for acquiring face-to-face treatment. Submission and response to the advice column does NOT establish a professional relationship between yourself and myself. I specialize in “relating” and am available to provide couples therapy, for speaking engagements and for business consultation wherein relationships are concerned. I also treat individuals who are interested in addressing related issues that effect their relationships. I do not offer crisis care to persons not involved in couples counseling with me. If you are in need of immediate help, please call 911 or go to your local emergency room.

Success Stories
“I felt confident that our issues were safe with her.”
Dr. Hart handles herself with a tremendous amount of professionalism. She has poise and confidence. If she was star struck, I never saw it. She's easy to talk to so we didn't waste any time. I felt confident that our issues were safe with her. We've since "graduated," but I'll always keep her on my speed dial. – Anonymous
” My husband and I both felt heard and respected.”
My husband doesn't believe in therapy so I was very worried about how our first session would go. Dr. Hart was able to engage him right away. She doesn't take sides and touts strongly that she "views the client to be the relationship." My husband and I both felt heard and respected. We worked through some very difficult issues and are rebuilding trust. We feel blessed to have found her. - Suzanne J.
“We always left feeling better than we had when we arrived.”
Dr. Hart is an exceptionally talented couples therapist. She is compassionate, insightful, perceptive, direct and affirming. Each session with her helped us to understand each other a little bit more. We always left feeling better than we had when we arrived. The homework she recommended was very valuable and helped us to move forward in between sessions. Our relationship is better and stronger and happier than its ever been. - Liza and Michael J.
“She quickly put us back on track”
My husband and I saw several different couples therapists. We had pretty much given up hope that a professional could make a difference and then a friend of ours recommended Dr. Hart. After just one session with Dr. Hart, we felt hopeful. Dr. Hart seemed to know and to understand our issues even before we spoke them. She quickly put us back on track. We found ourselves doing a little bit better every week and within three months we weren't sure if we even needed to go back. I highly recommend her! – Susan M.
“We love her!”
Dr. Hart was recommended to us by a friend who had seen her a year prior. We love her! She is funny, warm, kind and really good at what she does. We don't need to go weekly anymore, but look forward to our follow-up sessions. – Robin L.
“She saved us a lot of time, money and grief.”
My wife and I decided to end our marriage… and Dr. Hart helped us to do that civilly. She saved us a lot of time, money and grief. She is very good at mediation – helping you see, understand, and care about the other person's point of view. I only wish we had found her sooner. - John H.
