MAIT

Who We Are

MAIT aspires to be a primary association of relationship therapists and facilitators in the Mid-Atlantic region. We seek to expand and deepen our skills at helping relationships develop conscious, vital and joyful connections in which each individual can thrive. We are committed to helping the public access the services of our skilled and caring members.

Our Mission

1. We are an open, welcoming and warm community whose core values of hospitality, inclusivity, diversity, equity, and dialogical relationships inform everything we do when we gather to learn, govern and work together.
2. We provide outstanding professional continuing education on a wide range of relationship issues.
3. We are rooted in Imago Relationship Therapy (IRT) and committed to being part of its evolution, integration and synthesis.
4. We are inclusive and invite clinicians using other relational models to join the Association and actively participate in the creation of best practices and the charting of new and integrated frontiers in relationship work.
5. We have fun! We sponsor social gatherings to help connect our personal, professional and familial lives. We have learned that playing and celebrating together expands our own clinical and relationship-building skills

MAIT Goals

• Promote Imago Relationship Therapy in the Mid-Atlantic Region.
• Provide continuing education programs, support, mentoring, and networking opportunities for Imago therapists and other mental health professionals interested in the Imago process.
