Meet Theresa Garvin
Theresa has spent over 35 years as a psychotherapist and licensed clinical social worker, working in a variety of settings, including 12 years in private practice. She has worked with kids, teens, young adults, families, and individual adults. She spent 6 years working at the Hallowell Center in Sudbury, MA where she was trained in treating children and adults with ADHD. She also taught for seven years at Boston College, Graduate School of Social Work.
In 2018, she didn’t quite realize that she was in search of a change not only in her career path, but also in her life. That is when she discovered the path of Transformational Coaching, and she began as a client in this work. In 2020, she decided to become trained and certified as a Transformational Coach. In December of 2022, she closed out her private psychotherapy practice, and opened her new business, The Life You Imagine.
While she loves guiding adults through this proven, reliable system of transformation, she also created a family version of this work, and the families she has taken through this model over the past two years have achieved amazing results, such as; more open and effective communication, consistent structure and routines at home, clear expectations, limits and boundaries, and more quality time and shared experiences.
The Thriving Families model begins with an assessment to decide if this model is the right fit for the families who are interested in it. If, after the assessment, Theresa recommends this program, and the family enrolls, it begins with vision work for the parent(s), and then with the children, teens, or young adults. Once everyone has a vision that they see producing results they love, they then move to create a family vision, using the same tools, principles and practices that lead to transformation.
Theresa has personally experienced these transformations in love, relationships, business and finance, and most importantly, in her own home and family dynamics. The power and joy of this work has been life-changing, and she is eager to share it with you.

Mom, Client
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.

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
I was noticing patterns of attracting unfavorable conditions into my dating life. The men were not "high value" and were not what I would consider a long-term candidate to be in my life. I had lost my father a year earlier and felt I was in some way trying to replace him and my man "picker" was off.
I enjoyed that Theresa fashioned the details to my situation. She always had wonderful suggestions of actions to take and mindsets to shift that were eye-opening and supportive.
When I changed my thinking and approach to dating, and selected possible suitors based on validity and my vision of what I would love my ideal man to be, everything shifted.
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.
You'll be added to my email list with resources, and events all about creating a life you love. And of course, we'll never share your information.
