Are you and your partner feeling stuck in painful patterns or struggling to truly hear each other? Imago Relationship Therapy helps couples transform conflict into connection by uncovering the emotional roots of relationship struggles. At Summit Counseling Center, our trained therapists use the Imago approach to foster healing, deep understanding, and conscious communication.
