Harvey Center for Relationships

What we seek in our partner is connection. Deep, relaxed, secure connection is the springboard to passion.

We help couples re-connect and stay connected by enhancing the positive, eliminating the negative and becoming each other's advocate. As Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists and certified Imago Relationship Therapists, we have helped hundreds of couples turn their marriage around and achieve lasting romance. Duane was trained by Harville Hendrix (author of Getting the Love You Want) in 1991. Ad

ditionally, Thea is a certified Kundalini yoga and meditation teacher. Married for over ten years, we practice together out of our home a few blocks up from the beach in beautiful Santa Monica. Every day we embody the relationship principals that we advocate for our clients.

The Frick and Carlyle Hotel - A date steeped in timeless romance: we wandered the gilded halls of the newly renovated Frick, lost in old-world masterpieces, followed by an indulgent, dreamy lunch at the Carlyle Hotel in Bemelmans Bar - named after Ludwig Bemelmans, the artist and author of the Madeline children’s books (my favorite), who adorned the legendary walls of the piano bar with whimsical murals of Central Park. From golden frames to white tablecloths, New York reminded us that art and love never go out of style.

Where are you headed for your next date?

We made it to Round 3!

Thank you so much for your votes and support — it means the world to us. You can keep voting once every 24 hours!

The ocean has always been part of our love story. One of our first dates was a bike ride along the Pacific, ending on the beach where Duane read me Neruda’s poetry. That’s why it’s especially meaningful that this contest supports Oceana, an organization dedicated to protecting our world’s oceans.

And thank you again for being part of this journey with us. 💙🌊

🗽 *xnyc : A Playful, Provocative NYC Experience 🖤
As a s*x therapist, I had to investigate the Museum of S*x in NYC, one-of-a-kind cultural gem exposing the history and evolution of human s*xuality. Located at 233 Fifth Ave, this adults-only spot is both educational and wildly entertaining.
Highlights include: ✨ Higher Love Exhibit: Dive into the psychedelic roots of modern s*xuality. 🎪 The S*xual History of the Carnival: Uncover the erotic origins of carnival traditions. 🎨 Super Funland: An immersive erotic carnival with interactive games and slide.
Whether you’re curious, open-minded, or just want a fun date idea, the Museum of S*x blends scholarship with playful discovery — perfect for couples or anyone 18+. Duane and I are still trying to figure out if we were suppose to eat the VIP gummies before or after our visit.
🕒 Plan for 1–2 hours to explore it all. Admission ranges from $29–$42. Open every day, with extended hours on weekends.
Would you dare to visit? 😏

💗 A heartfelt thank you to First5 Ministry for the opportunity to speak about the profound topic of intimacy in marriage at St. Monica’s. S*x consistently ranks as one of the top two reasons why couples fight. It’s an important part of marriage, though it’s often considered taboo and rarely discussed. It was an honor to share insights and engage in meaningful conversations with such warm, thoughtful, and motivated couples! Let’s continue the conversations for better relationships! 💗

📚 "Race Rules: What Your Black Friend Won't Tell You" is an essential book by Fatimah Gilliam, a friend and fellow Wellesley College alum.

Highly recommend adding this to your reading list! 🌟📖
