Become a Certified Imago Consultant

Step into the next level of your Imago journey and discover the art of guiding others with presence, curiosity, and compassion. As a Certified Imago Consultant, you’ll learn to embody Imago theory in every interaction—offering feedback that nurtures growth and deepens relationship. The journey begins with The Art of Consultation, where you’ll explore supervision through a relational lens and uncover how working with your own “lost parts” can become powerful growth edges. In Part Two, you’ll receive hands-on consultation and support as you develop the confidence and skills to guide others, both in group settings and one-on-one, through their own transformative learning.

Part 1: The Art of Consultation Training Course

This advanced-level course is designed for experienced Imago therapists who are looking to expand their skills into the realm of supervision. The program delves deep into the nuanced art of guiding and mentoring other Imago practitioners, ensuring the highest standards of practice in relationship therapy. “The Art of Imago Consultation” equips participants with the necessary tools, techniques, and insights to effectively oversee and support fellow Imago therapists. This course goes beyond basic supervision skills, incorporating the unique principles and approaches of Imago Relationship Therapy into the supervisory process.

Learning Objectives

  1. Learn in depth case consultation through the Imago lens.
  2. Deepen your capacity to self supervise your own couples.
  3. Learn and practice four supervisory models for individual and group supervision.
  4. Explore how our lost parts affect our phenomenology, our clinical struggles, and can impact our ability to be objective as a supervisor.
  5. Become an even safer supervisor and colleague when facilitating individuals in consultation or when leading supervision groups.

Time Commitment

This 24 hour course meets online, via Zoom over 4 days from 10am – 5pm Eastern with a one hour mid-day break.
