• Main Premises of Imago Theory:
  • All things in nature have an impulse towards healing and wholeness.
  • We were wounded in relationship; it is through relationship that we must heal.
  • The unconscious purpose of adult intimate relationships is to finish childhood so we can reach our fullest potential
  • (Sophie Slade, PhD, Senior Faculty)
To me, Imago is a way of being in relationship - particularly with my partner, but in general also - in a way that brings out the best in each of us. This happens through the structure of mirroring, validating and empathizing, as well as the desire to grow and heal within ourselves, our relationship, our family, neighborhood, community and ultimately, the world.

Imago Relationship therapy helps you understand why the differences which lead to frustrations are actually a natural part of what originally attracted you to each other.  We will help you make practical use of insights from brain studies and major psychological research.  You will be able to look at the story of your relationship in a fresh way, and quickly feel hope and release from pain.
