Q WHAT IS IMAGO RELATIONSHIP THERAPY?

Imago Relationship Therapy (IRT) is a coherent, comprehensive and dynamic theory and practice, offering a cutting edge and effective method for working with couples. Relationship science has made giant leaps in the last decade and our work with couples is now more succinct, layered, and effective. IRT offers systematic, structured processes to transform painful relational dynamics, create safety and connection, and increase passion.

An effective, research-based modality, IRT offers both short term therapy and a deeper long-term approach for couples in distress. It teaches clear strategies which will transform your work with both individuals and couples. The Imago relationship Therapy model is based on psychological theories from Freud to Neuroscience, woven into dialogue-based interventions which deepen connection. Learning and integrating the Imago model into your practice can make working with couples more fun, rewarding and successful.

The Imago structure can help couples create conscious, loving relationships and clinicians report finding renewed confidence and excitement with couples’ work!

“I can say unequivocally that Imago Relationship Therapy is the most effective model for understanding and improving Relationships. It works!” Pat Love (EdD and author of Hot Monogomy)
