Imago Therapy

Imago therapy is a dynamic and effective approach to helping couples work through difficult issues or impasses that can develop. Through the two-fold approach of:

• Learning effective communication skills and
• Developing insight into each partner's sensitivities and "complementary" defenses, couples are empowered to learn the skills they need to work on their own together.

In 1993 Eleanor completed her training with Harville Hendrix, Ph.D. (Institute for Relationship Therapy, New York, N.Y.) to become a certified Imago therapist.
