Jill Wolf, LCSW graduated with an MSW in 1984 from the Jane Addams School of Social Work at the University of Illinois, and began her professional career in the child welfare system. She quickly recognized that if someone could have helped the parents, maybe so many of these kids wouldn't be in the system in the way they were. She began her training with and was certified by Dr. Harville Hendrix, the founder of Imago, in 1990. To say it changed her life personally and professionally is a huge understatement.

Jill continues to see mostly couples in her private practice, as well as presenting the Getting the Love You Want® workshop for couples and the Keeping the Love You Find workshop for singles.  In 2021 she will be presenting the Imago Clinical Training for therapists who want to learn this model. She has had the amazing opportunity to offer many presentations at international Imago conferences, including many stand-up comedy bits there.  Jill’s 5 kids (and now 3 grandkids!) keep her humble by telling her that she’s not that funny (she is!).
