“I see couples & individuals working to break long-standing dysfunctional patterns; adults struggling with feelings of nervousness & sadness; I see “sandwich generation” clients dealing with unemployed college kids & aging parents. I see seniors redefining roles during their golden years, and have experience with divorce counseling and women struggling with infertility.”
– Chana Pfeifer, LCSW
Imago Relationship Therapy on Long Island
There’s frequently a connection between our frustrations in adult relationships and our early childhood experiences…
For example, childhood feelings of abandonment, suppression, and neglect will often arise in adult relationships. When such “core issues” repeatedly come up with a partner, they can overshadow all that’s good in a relationship and leave one to wonder whether s/he has chosen the right mate.

Through Imago Relationship Therapy, couples (and also individuals) learn to understand each other’s feelings and “childhood wounds” more empathically, allowing themselves and their relationship to move toward a more conscious, fun, supportive and overall happy relationship that lasts.

ALTOGETHER, IMAGO THERAPY TEACHES COUPLES HOW TO:
- Examine our childhood upbringing & how this has formed our ‘Imago’ of what love is.
- Resolve conflict by understanding our needs / desires.
- Create a successful plan for the future as a couple.
When you CONNECT with others, then you can COMMUNICATE.
