About YAEL BAT-SHIMON, MA, LMHC

Advanced IMAGO Relationship Therapist

I am passionate about working with couples of all kinds.  I help couples live out their wildest dreams for themselves and their relationships. 
Maybe your relationship/marriage is in crisis or failing.  Maybe it’s stagnant or full of conflict and, sensing this, your children are beginning to act out in ways that baffle you. Maybe you wonder how you and your spouse have managed to drift so far apart and feel so frantic and disconnected.  
My sessions focus on couples’ strengths & resources rather than pathology. The focus is on restoring your original connection, thus freeing you to be the creative, loving, conscious human beings you are meant to be

What Couples Do with Yael

Improve Communication

Couples learn & practice intentional dialogue, a 3-step process that creates the safety necessary for couples to talk & listen in a way that allows for both partners’ experiences & points of view to be expressed and respected.

Navigate Conflict

Couples shift away from a problem-based mindset towards a growth mindset in which conflict is not a signal to break up, but an invitation to grow. Through dialogue, couples explore what is underneath their conflict—typically unresolved pain from childhood or past relationships.

Rediscover Closeness

Partners reignite the passion that first brought them together through intentional practices of appreciation, gratitude, caring behaviors and FUN! As they come to understand the pain at the root of each other’s baffling behavior, their compassion for each other grows and closeness deepens.
