About ADARA Academy

MEET GRETA HASSEL, M.Div., MFT and DENNIS A. COHEN, ESQ.

What do you get when you cross a Marriage and Family Therapist with a Divorce Attorney/Mediator?  A lot of passion about creating solid, passionate, adventurous, playful, and communicative relationships! They have been leading relationship courses together since 2011.  In fact Dennis and Greta, share so much interest in healthy relationships that they have birthed ADARA Academy and the Relationship Courses.   

Greta, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, has been practicing for 25 years.  Her passion for couples and relationship work led her to specialize in love, intimacy and sexual education. Her Master Degrees in Psychology and Theology are the result of her lifelong study of Modern Psychology, Ancient Wisdom, Spirituality, and Sacred Sexuality.  This includes intensive training in couples, communication, sexuality, transformation, the Hero’s Journey and the Wisdom Traditions.  She has a special gift of helping people "say and hear the things that really need to be said."  The safe space she creates for inner exploration and honest expression is the hallmark of her work as a Sex and Intimacy Coach, igniting love and passion in individuals and couples.  Greta has a passion for dancing, the beauty of nature, travel to sacred spots worldwide, the exploding field of neurobiology, and expansive conversations on Love, God and Sex.

Dennis Cohen earned the nickname "Robin Hood Lawyer" for his work chasing deadbeat parents who didn't pay their child support.  He has been a featured guest on such programs as the Oprah Winfrey Show, CNN, CBS News, Sonya Freidman Live, Michael Jackson, and Bill Handel.  His work was endorsed in Dear Abby’s advice column. 

As a Family Law Mediator, Dennis' motto is “within every conflict lies the seeds of resolution.”

Dennis' faith in the transformative power of loving, honest self-exploration and heart-centered communication comes from his many years as a facilitator with personal growth workshops such as "Making Love Work" with Barbara DeAngelisLifespring, and the Landmark Forum.

With their over 50 years of combined experience working with couples, they know the challenges and heartbreak facing couples who haven't learned how to avoid the ruts and potholes that are inevitable in any relationship. Greta and Dennis acknowledge that breakdowns happen, but they also know that with the right tools, a breakdown can be turned into a love affirming breakthrough.
