Sophia Imar, LMSW
About
I work with individuals and couples in New Jersey and Florida, drawing from psychodynamic, CBT, and IFS approaches to address a wide range of interpersonal, situational, and life stressors. While I thoughtfully integrate these evidence-based modalities into my work, I believe that the foundation of meaningful therapy is the relationship itself. I have also completed Level 1 Training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy and integrate Gottman-based interventions into my work with couples to strengthen communication, deepen connection, and navigate conflict more effectively.
I approach therapy first and foremost as a relationship. My clients matter greatly to me, and our work together is based on this two-way relationship. I pull in strategies from a number of different theories and modalities, and I continue learning and expanding my toolbox. More importantly, I show up every day with genuine investment in and empathy towards my clients.
My top priority in therapy is my relationships with my clients. I strive to understand and empower my clients in each session. I often use metaphors in therapy to bring lofty emotional topics down into real-world terms. I provide a safe, supportive, non-judgemental setting to process, heal and feel a sense of hope and possibility, through our therapeutic alliance.
