How to Find an Imago Therapist Through Imago Relationships Worldwide

Updated

To find an Imago therapist, go to imagorelationships.org and use the Find a Therapist entry point on the site. The organization states that Imago Relationship Therapy is practiced by thousands of therapists in nearly 50 countries, so the directory is the right place to start if you want a practitioner near you. Before you search, decide on your location and the type of support you need (for example, couples therapy versus training), since those two needs lead to different site paths: Find a Therapist for care and Find Imago Training for professional training.

What the site is for

Imago Relationships Worldwide presents itself as the home of Imago Relationship Therapy, a form of relationship and couples therapy developed in 1980 by Harville Hendrix, Ph.D., and Helen LaKelly Hunt, Ph.D. The site frames the work around three goals:

  • Getting the love you want
  • Keeping the love you find
  • Connecting securely and deeply with your partner

It also describes the therapy's focus as transforming conflict into healing and growth through relational connection. That framing is useful when you screen a therapist: you are looking for someone whose practice matches this conflict-to-connection approach, not just any couples counselor.

Step-by-step: finding a therapist

  1. Open the site. Go to imagorelationships.org. The homepage carries the "Talk. Listen. Connect." heading and a welcome section.
  2. Choose the right entry point. Select Find a Therapist if you are seeking care for yourself or your relationship. Choose Find Imago Training only if you are a professional looking for training.
  3. Search by your location. Because practitioners are listed across nearly 50 countries, use your country and region as the first filter. If you are willing to work online, widen the area rather than narrowing it.
  4. Review each candidate against your criteria. Confirm the therapist's credentials and that they explicitly practice Imago Relationship Therapy. The site's own description is the baseline: the therapist should be working in this modality, not merely adjacent to it.
  5. Contact the therapist directly. The directory connects you to practitioners; scheduling, fees, and availability are handled with the individual therapist. The site materials do not list pricing, so ask about cost and session format before committing.

Expected result: a shortlist of Imago-trained therapists you can contact, filtered by location and fit.

What to check before you book

Check Why it matters
Explicit Imago practice The site describes Imago as a specific modality; confirm the therapist lists it
Location or online availability The directory spans many countries, so geography is your main filter
Credentials The organization notes the approach was developed by recognized relationship experts; verify the individual therapist's background
Fees and format Not stated on the site; ask the therapist directly

Common sticking points

  • Confusing the two buttons. "Find a Therapist" and "Find Imago Training" serve different audiences. If you want help for your relationship, use the therapist path.
  • Assuming the directory is a booking system. It is a way to locate practitioners; you still need to contact them and confirm availability.
  • Skipping the modality check. A therapist may offer couples work without practicing Imago. The site's description of Imago—conflict turned into healing and growth through connection—gives you the language to ask about directly.
  • Expecting published prices. The available site material does not include pricing, so treat cost as a question for the therapist, not something to infer.

If your goal is simply to understand what the organization is, the short answer is that Imago Relationships Worldwide is the hub for Imago Relationship Therapy, the couples approach developed by Hendrix and Hunt and practiced by thousands of therapists worldwide. If your goal is to find someone, start at Find a Therapist and filter by where you are.
