About Phyllis Koch-Sheras & Peter Sheras

We are clinical psychologists who have enjoyed studying and working with couples for more than three decades, and we have been happily married to each other for just as long. Together, we have written several books and articles, including Lifelong Love: 4 Ways to Creating and Maintaining an Extraordinary Relationship, Couple Power Therapy: Building Commitment, Cooperation, Communication, and Community in Relationships (2006), "New Frontiers in Treating Couples" in Innovations in Clinical Practice: A Source Book (1998), The Dream Sharing Sourcebook (1998), and The Dream Sourcebook Journal (1996). We co-founded Couples Coaching Couples, a growing nationwide movement providing mutual support to couples in their communities. We have presented to a variety of groups, including personal growth centers, businesses, schools and professional organizations, such as the American Psychological Association. 
We often give media interviews on radio and television and in newspapers and magazines regarding relationships, including a regular segment on our local radio morning talk show.  After extensive training in couples, family and sex therapy in California, we moved to Charlottesville, Virginia, where we now both teach and practice.  We also give workshops for couples, counselors and other professionals around North America.  A number of books, CD’s, videos and podcasts of our work are available.  We have two adult children who are also happily married.
