A note from Peggy Halyard, Houston Marriage Counselor

to Houston Marriage Counselors and other  Mental Health Care Professionals:

Thank you for providing couples with marriage and individual counseling and therapy before and after they attend a couples weekend workshop. 

My ethical policy is to always return clients to their therapists after they have attended a "Getting the Love You Want" workshop. My belief is that the skills learned in the workshop provide the couple with a deeper insight and understanding of their issues.  We always recommend that couples continue their relationship with their therapist.

When your couples return, feedback has shown that your work will be easier and more rewarding.  I encourage couples to take their workbooks from the workshop and return to their respective therapist for deeper work.

Regarding my private practice, when I see clients that I feel are outside my realm of expertise, I refer these clients to other mental health professionals who can better help them.  I maintain a collaborative relationship with a network of mental health professionals who I consult with and refer to if I feel a client’s issues are outside my area of expertise.

"For marital counseling and couples work, Peggy is one of the best. She comes with my highest recommendations!"
Ms. Gwen Brehm, MEd, LPC, LMFT, Colleague

Approach to Counseling

Peggy is dedicated to helping you find passion, joy and enhance the quality of your life. Peggy works with couples, individuals and adolescents to navigate through their life stages and to develop more fulfilling relationships. Peggy also works with individuals or couples on parenting and divorce issues. Peggy is also a family law mediator and co-mediates with her husband, Douglas Wilson, Attorney/Mediator.

Peggy’s approach to counseling is to collaborate with her clients to facilitate their self-insight and growth. Peggy employs different counseling methods depending upon the needs of the client. Modalities may include Imago relationship therapy, solution-focused short-term therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy and psychodynamic therapy.

Individual Counseling

Peggy provides counseling for individuals who are experiencing any of a variety of life’s stresses or are in crisis. These may present as depression, stress, anxiety, panic attacks, grief, alcoholism, other substance abuse or uncontrollable anger. Peggy has facilitated Smart Recovery Groups which teach skills for coping with alcoholism or other substance abuse. Peggy works collaboratively with her clients teaching coping skills to manage life’s challenges, focusing on healing and positive growth opportunities.


Couples/Marriage Counseling

 

Peggy provides private marriage counseling and Imago couples therapy for all stages of relationships. She provides pre-marital counseling for couples considering marriage or remarriage, teaching skills, and tools for successful positive relationships and conflict resolution.

Peggy counsels with the ‘mid-life crisis’ couple who may have an empty nest and has focused for years on the children. She helps couples at any stage in their relationship to learning skills and tools to solve problems and connect on deeper emotional levels.

Peggy Halyard helps couples navigate through affairs to reconnection. For couples considering divorce, Peggy helps them process how to move ahead whether together or separately. For couples seeking to enrich a good relationship, she offers Imago couples therapy.

Business Partners/Couples Counseling

"Couples counselors say larger companies like Cisco and Google have hired them to work with managers who aren't getting along." -April Dembosky

"Relationship problems between co-founders are among the biggest reasons companies don't make it. Increasingly in Silicon Valley, business partners are looking for help before things go downhill — they're signing up for couples counseling".- APRIL DEMBOSKY

 

 

Adolescents

Peggy works with adolescents to help them navigate through life’s transitions with healthy social and relationship skills. As adolescents progress to form their identities they experience issues including those of self-esteem, anger management and resolving conflicts with peers and parents.

Parenting/Divorce Issues

Peggy works with individuals or couples on parenting and step-parenting issues. She guides parents through difficult situations. Peggy assists parents and step-parents in discussing their parenting plan, philosophy and finding effective alternatives. Some kids are more challenging than others and often these parents are in need of support outside of the ‘status quo’. Peggy will assist with effective suggestions even in the most challenging of parenting situations. Issues can include an ‘out of control’ teenager, friendship building, conflict management, and step-parent roles.

Peggy counsels with couples or individuals through the divorce process. Going through a divorce can be an extremely painful time. Feelings of guilt, anger, and fear can surface. Peggy supports clients through the grief process involved with every divorce. She recognizes that if children are involved, a co-parenting relationship will also be of the utmost importance. Children can thrive after the divorce when they have a secure relationship with parents.

Houston Marriage Counselor/Therapist, Peggy Halyard-Wilson and her husband, Attorney/Mediator, Doug Wilson invite you to join them for this transformative "Getting the Love You Want" workshop weekend couples marriage retreat in Houston, Texas.  Peggy and Doug are dynamic presenters who not only teach the "art of relationship", but are living it. They credit Imago skills with keeping their own relationship vibrant.


Tens of thousands of couples have attended the Imago, "Getting the Love You Want," Weekend Workshop for couples all over the world.

 Couples Love Couples Retreats in Kemah

Initially, Peggy's husband, Doug, was apprehensive about going to an Imago workshop. Doug attended the workshop with Peggy and guess what happened?  Doug (and Peggy), like many couples, discovered that the comfortable safe weekend workshop retreats are transformational, hopeful and fulfilling.

Now Doug empathizes  with reluctant husbands/partners

 houston marriage counseling couples-help therapist peggy halyard and colleagues

who may feel they were dragged to the workshop and is instrumental in providing a balanced environment ''for the guys" who may really want just to relax for the weekend, play golf, or watch the game. You will enjoy "Getting more of the love you want" in your relationship.

So, Why should I consider going to an Imago Relationship Workshop?


Many of the attendees are couples who love each other and have successful rewarding careers, yet have demanding lifestyles.  When an argument or hurtful anger are better understood, then romance, joy, passion, and fun can flourish again!  Couples often discover their marriage and couples counseling is even more rewarding after attending the "Getting the Love You Want" workshop.  Reluctant Partners, like Doug, may ask the same question Doug asked the first time Doug considered going to a workshop with Peggy: 

"Why should I go to an Imago Relationship Couples Workshop? 

In this workshop you will learn to:


Resolve cycles of anger and blame,
Get to the root of your problems and dissolve them,
Create romance, passion, and fun,
Listen non-defensively,
Speak in a way your partner can hear you,
Show your partner empathy and compassion,
Respect your partner's point of view even if you don't agree,
Deepen your intimacy and connection,
Express appreciation for your partner,
Become your partners best friend,
Create the relationship of your dreams!

No self-disclosure is required; all work is done in private!

The format of the workshop includes demonstrations, couple's dialogue, lectures, experiential exercises, and written exercises.  Techniques are demonstrated first, then couples practice these skills privately. These practice opportunities are extremely helpful because couples can immediately apply their skills when they return home.

The workshop addresses two sides of the relationship. One branch includes issues, problems, and conflicts, and the other encompasses fun stuff: romance, caring behaviors, high and low energy fun, passion and your positive relationship vision.

There are opportunities for group sharing, but the workshop emphasizes partners sharing privately with one another. No self-disclosure is required; all work is done in private! Although couples come together in a group to hear these presentations, sharing is done only with your partner, as confidentiality is maintained throughout the workshop. These workshops are kept small to create a relaxed, secure, and fun environment.


This workshop is appropriate for you if…

    You are thinking about marriage or remarrying and you really want to ensure this one will work.
    You have a good relationship that needs to be revitalized.
    You are having difficulty in your relationship and need tools and skills to better communicate and manage conflict.
    You are near a breakup or divorce and want to decide if the relationship can be saved or not.
