Proving that love CAN last, one relationship at a time.

Craig Lambert is a marriage counselor in San Diego with over 30 years of experience dedicated to helping couples rekindle their love, deepen their intimacy and strengthen communication.

Contrary to some public perception, couples and marriage counseling does not require years before improvement begins. Most couples report a sense of relief and clarity within a few weeks. Using practical but powerful strategies and exercises, Craig helps his clients get to the heart of communication issues, and even devastating events like addiction, infidelity and violence. Craig has helped hundreds of couples strengthen their relationships and improve communication.

Craig’s Approach

After exploring many therapeutic styles of addressing interpersonal relationships, Craig found the most powerful and fast-acting strategies through his work with renowned therapists and authors Dr. Harville Hendrix and his wife, Dr. Helen Hunt, the creators of the Imago therapy.

Hendrix and Hunt wrote the best-selling books Getting the Love You Want: A Guide for Couples and Keeping the Love You Find: A Personal Guide and Making Marriage Work. These books have sold millions of copies and, at this writing, over 100,000 individuals in 30 countries have enjoyed the healing and relief Imago therapists provide.

Imago stems from the principle that humans possess impulses toward not only self-repair and self-actualization, but loving connection. Conflict is a natural and much needed part of this growth process. Working with our impulses and the eventual conflict they create in an enlightened rather than frightened manner enables the growth we all crave. In fact, conflict is the primary way we achieve that growth. Learn more about Imago.

Craig is proud to incorporate Imago therapy into his work as a marriage counselor in San Diego. He joins over 2,500 therapists in 30 countries who have trained in and conduct courses on the techniques of Imago therapy.

Craig is also an Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) certified practitioner which, paired with his Imago background, sets him apart as someone who has deeply integrated the two highest forms of respected therapy to provide his clients with the most effective techniques available.
