About the 2 Day Training
Imago Relationship Therapy (IRT) was the very first couples therapy model to develop in the 1980’s. Imago is an effective, research-based method for working with couples. Imago training gives you the actual tools and practice to become comfortable and adept with any couple that walks into your office, and it also puts you on a spiritual path for your own wholeness and healing in your own relationships.
This truly transformational training increases awareness of your own potential whether in relationship with your clients, your partner and/or the world. Learn how to offer couples systematic, structured support to transform painful dynamics, create safety and connection, and increase passion, whilst guiding them toward greater understanding of their attachment and other developmental needs. There is an option, following this 2 Day Training to participate in further trainings to become a Certified Imago Therapist.
about the instructor
Rabbi Shlomo Slatkin, M.S, LCPC
Faculty associate trainer, imago international training institute
“I remember studying counseling psychology, not knowing where my clinical focus would end up, when my wife Rivka and I started having some challenges in our own marriage. We went to an Imago therapist to work on things and the rest was history! I fell in love with the model, having witnessed it first hand in having saved my marriage. Over 20 years later, I’ve found this method to be both profound and simple in it’s ability to touch the core of the couple’s conflict and empower them with what they need to be successful.”
Rabbi Shlomo Slatkin MS, LCPC is a Certified Imago Relationship Therapist (Advanced Clinician) and Certified Imago Workshop Presenter, and Faculty Associate of the Imago International Training Institute. Together with his wife Rivka, they founded The Marriage Restoration Project, a global initiative to help keep couples together and happy. Out of concern for the global breakdown of relationships and families, Shlomo has made it his mission to help save marriages in 2 days by way of marriage intensive retreats. He has also created an Online Marriage School self guided program as an affordable solution to quality marriage help. Shlomo also trains therapists and coaches in Imago therapy.

Therapist Testimonials
Linda lewter
Private Practice Therapist
“I first saw Harville on the Oprah Winfrey talk show. From my first introduction to Imago…it just made so much sense. I decided at that time that it would be my mission to become an Imago therapist when I had the time or money. Well, I got the time first and worked out the money part. The training process blew my mind because it was not like any training that I had ever had before. Imago is not just something you learn…it’s something you become. So excited to be able to bring Imago to my community!”

Continuing Education Director
“For over a decade, Rabbi Slatkin has worked with us to provide training for therapists in small groups and large presentations. I’ve witnessed many times how he has helped professional therapists gain greater insight and have “aha” moments in how they should be communicating with their clients, colleagues, and even their own family members. He has a great ability to simplify communication and help people find common ground.”
