Yael Bat-Shimon

Yael Bat-Shimon is a Certified Imago Relationship Therapist and Advanced Imago Clinician who works exclusively with committed couples who are ready to devote their full attention and magnificence to transforming their relationship. In Imago Relationship Therapy with Yael, couples experience an effective, original approach for healing both from recent wounds and from old wounds imported into the relationship from childhood. Her work with couples integrates ancient wisdom and cutting-edge neuroscience into a cohesive and holistic model of relational healing.

Yael guides couples to look underneath the current distress and conflict in their relationship to the unconscious forces that are driving it. Guided by the assumption that couples already have between them everything they need, Yael works with couples to release the energy and resources locked in their emotional conflicts, putting them in direct opposition to each other, and helps them shift their interactions so that they become each other’s allies and champions, celebrating each other’s differences and consciously affirming each other’s equal validity. Partners then become teammates, navigating their lives together, side by side, opening up new possibilities and opportunities between them, as well as in their relationships with their children, families, co-workers and communities.

Imago is a strength-based relationship therapy that offers couples the autonomy and freedom to create the relationship of their dreams and provides a map forward to exist in a safe, healthy, peaceful partnership where both partners can express their true selves, experience intimacy, vulnerability, connection and liberation from past stress, trauma and pain.

Couples find in Yael a person with extensive training and experience in couples work as well as an enthusiastic champion for their relationship. Her genuine warmth and passion for transformational growth and healing through relationships are infectious and inspire hope and change in the couples who work with her.
