Theresa Garvin

Founder of The Life You Imagine, LLC

Creator of 'Thriving Families'

Meet Theresa Garvin

With over 35 years of experience as a psychotherapist and clinical social worker, I now support parents and families through transformational coaching that moves them beyond survival, toward clarity, connection, and the kind of life they deeply want.

As the founder of The Life You Imagine and creator of the Thriving Families program, I work with parents of children, teens, or young adults—many of whom are navigating ADHD, anxiety, or emotional or behavioral challenges. These families are often overwhelmed and stuck in reactive patterns, unsure how to move forward. My coaching model helps them shift out of stress and overwhelm and into a new vision that is grounded in calm, purpose, and lasting change.

I also work with individuals who may or may not be parents, but are looking for real, long-lasting change, new results and greater fulfillment in any or every area of their lives.

What makes this work different is that we don’t just manage symptoms. This work embodies healing as well as a clear roadmap forward for you and your family to thrive. Through thorough assessment, vision-based strategy, and mindset coaching, I help parents break old cycles and reconnect with their values and priorities, empowering them to create lives—and families—they love.

Before founding The Life You Imagine, I spent over a decade in private practice. Prior to that, I worked at the Hallowell Center in Sudbury, MA, where I specialized in ADHD treatment. I also taught for seven years at Boston College’s Graduate School of Social Work. In 2018, I discovered transformational coaching firsthand as a client, and it changed my life, especially my family relationships (which were a struggle at the time). Since becoming a certified coach in 2020, I’ve integrated these powerful tools with my therapeutic expertise to help families not just heal but truly thrive.

My coaching offers a proven, heart-centered approach to create real change—support that blends compassion, healing, structure, and true transformation for you and your family. If you're ready to move beyond just getting through the day and toward a calmer, more connected home, I’d love to connect.

Parent

It does take a team, and you made - and still do make - a difference. Thank you for all your help raising my darling child. Thank you for your affirmations. You made a great difference in our lives.

Maureen E.

Thriving Families

Theresa’s coaching work and courses can be life-changing for anyone, and her gift is ideal for families. I got coaching sessions for myself as a business owner, but the biggest win was the change that took place in our family. I used the techniques from the coaching to help my husband first, and he is especially using the forgiveness tools now on himself and for our children. When I see our family laughing and sharing, I pinch myself and thank God for Theresa’s help. Sometimes in life you find a Gem that changes you and everything. Enrolling in Theresa’s coaching is one of those gems!

Thriving Families

Highly recommend Theresa! Before meeting Theresa, I was extremely overwhelmed and she really helped me step back and think about what really makes me happy, and more, what is holding me back from pursuing all that I desire. With her guidance, I have taken steps to do more of what I enjoy and value. Theresa will help you get on track to a life you love.

Thriving Families

Theresa's Thriving Families Program helped me to formulate ideas, emotions, and dreams that were bouncing around in my head for years, and were stuck in neutral. She helped me to tune in and to recognize what is truly my inner voice, and what is just fear talking. Her work with me has been so impactful, and has awoken a spirit within me that I am so grateful for. Our family experiences so much more harmony now, thanks to Theresa's program, support, and tools.

Dream Builder Client

This work is perfect for anyone who is banging their head against the wall, wondering why they keep getting the same lousy results over and over again.

Now, I feel very confident in maintaining the change Theresa and I made together. Her insights and actionable suggestions were on point and easy to do. As I did them over and over, I gained a clarity and confidence in BEING who I want to be and attracting easily the type of man I would love to be with long term.

Jenn

Thriving Families

(Thriving Families) is great for anyone, individual or family, who feels that they've hit a wall in terms of personal progress through a more traditional therapeutic approach. Theresa did a wonderful job making everyone in my family feel heard and safe.

I can't emphasize how important that was in the success of our time working with her. She quickly created a space full of trust that allowed us, both individually and together, to be able to open ourselves up enough to fully engage with the process.
