satisfying and lasting relationships"
Leo & Peggy Dhont have been married for over 15 years. They each have two grown children from previous marriages, and there are eight grand children between them. They each know well from their own previous experiences how painful and how difficult relationships can be. Even with each other, they walk through difficult conflicts using the skills they teach, in order to keep their relationship conscious and loving.
Leo is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of Illinois and has had over 45 years of experience doing therapy with individual adults and with couples. He is passionate and devoted to the process of teaching the skills of relationship. He believes we are formed in relationship with our caretakers and that we continue to change and grow in all of our important adult relationships - especially the relationship we have with a committed partner/spouse.
Peggy Mara-Dhont achieved her Bachelor’s Degree in Special Education and then later developed her own relaxation and massage therapy business. Although now retired from that business, she brings her extensive training and experience in the use of touch, breath, and meditation into all she does. She, like Leo, was trained by Harville Hendrix as a Getting The Love You Want workshop presenter. She co-presents the couples weekend workshops and the support/follow-up groups. Through helping couples create loving relationships, Peggy hopes that their children will experience healthy relationships and be able to engage in fulfilling relationships of their own. She is available to do relationship coaching with women and has developed a week-end retreat for women in mid-life.
She is also licensed to perform services of matrimony, baptism, funeral or memorials, & commitment or recommitment ceremonies.
