Mary Kay Cocharo has been working with couples and families for over 25 years through her private practice in West Los Angeles, California and cannot imagine doing anything else! She is deeply passionate about helping couples and parents rediscover the joy of being together, deepen communication and resolve conflict.
Her heart in helping others bridge these gaps stems from her belief that regardless of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or creed, we all want and need the same thing—love, equality, acceptance, safety and connection. She imagines a world when it is the rule, not the exception, that we see each other without judgment or fear, and instead come from a place of curiosity and interest.
She is happily married in an intimate relationship and is the mother of three grown children. She is active in various spiritual settings and community endeavors – teaching and supervising at many of the city’s graduate schools and training sites. She also really loves to mentor young therapists, students and interns as they learn and practice their art of connection. Whether teaching, supervising, or consulting, she loves interacting with those who are eager to learn, understand and make a difference.

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Mary Kay Cocharo
"A state of well-being includes awareness of one's self, a sense of responsibility, compassion for others, and a world view that gives meaning to life..."
As an Imago Relationship Therapist it is my goal to help people in romantic
relationships better understand why painful conflict arises, and how to use
it as an opportunity to deepen a loving connection. The methodology involves
easy-to-grasp, practical tools - such as actively mirroring your partner’s
words without judgement - designed to take the sting out of active arguments
and encourage instead a loving curiosity about the stories we each bring to
our journey together.
The result is that individuals grow up into mature and conscious adults who can not only experience deep and loving connection with one another, but who can also raise healthy, integrated, empathic children, and can contribute positively to this planet.
