	Jim Thomas Institute for Change, P.C. 3500 S. Wadsworth Blvd. #403 Lakewood, CO 80235 Phone Number: (303) 933-9104 Email: instituteforchange@msn.com I work from a strength-based, relational approach with a wide range of couple issues. It is important that we work together in a collaborative manner to resolve the real life issues you bring to marital therapy. I offer supportive and affirming services to committed couples from all walks of life. Committed relationships often provide irreplaceable benefits including social support, health benefits, companionship, and more. When the relationship sours or stress becomes the norm, we feel discouraged and may want out. Couples describe my style as being warm, open, and engaging. I bring a sense of humor to the work and 20 years of experience. Unlike many individual therapists and couples counselors without training in marital therapy, I tend to be more interactive and willing to provide structure in the sessions. One of my specialties is working with couples deciding whether to maintain their committed relationship, separate, or divorce. I also help couples with sexual issues in their relationship. I am pro-commitment, but also understand that not all marriages are healthy, and that we all have a right to self-determination. I believe in the central importance of relationships.
