What is Imago Therapy?

Developed by Harville Hendrix and Helen LaKelly Hunt, Imago Therapy is based on the idea that our childhood experiences shape how we interact in adult relationships. Through this process, you will:

  • Recognize patterns in your relationship that stem from past experiences.
  • Develop deeper empathy and understanding for your partner’s emotions.
  • Learn communication techniques to replace conflict with connection.
  • Heal past wounds and create a healthier, more loving relationship.

Benefits of Imago Therapy

  • Strengthened Communication: Learn tools to communicate in a way that fosters connection rather than conflict.
  • Deeper Emotional Bond: Understand your partner’s emotional needs and respond with empathy.
  • Conflict Resolution: Replace criticism and defensiveness with productive dialogue.
  • Renewed Intimacy: Restore closeness and create a more fulfilling relationship.

Build a Deeper Emotional Connection With Your Partner

How It All Works

Imago therapy is based on the relationship work of psychotherapist Harville Hendrix and his partner Helen LaKelly, developed in the 1980s and based on the theory that feelings you experienced in your past childhood relationships are bound to come up in your adult relationships. Understanding how negative experiences and feelings from childhood carry over into adult relationships, you can better understand your reactions to your partner and vice versa and develop the skills and empathy necessary to transform your individual self and your relationship.


The goal of Imago Therapy is to help couples stop blaming, criticizing, and negatively reacting to their partners and, instead, become more understanding and empathetic.
