Meet Dr.Bazan

 I'm Linda Bazan, PhD, a licensed clinical psychologist and Certified Imago Relationship Therapist. At The Relationship Shop I offer several types of programs. First among these is the skills training and self-discovery process of Imago Relationship Therapy (IRT). In a nutshell, IRT is a powerful program developed by Harville Hendrix, PhD to help people understand and succeed in close relationships. You can learn much more about this program by clicking on the links to The Relationship Shop Newsletter, to the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ), or to the Reading List, all found on the menu on the left.

I've found IRT to be extremely helpful for individuals and couples who want to develop their abilities to cope with the inevitable stresses of relationships. It's an exciting process and a very hopeful one. And by the way, the principles of IRT apply equally well to singles and couples, at home and in the work place. Interestingly, the professional Imago community uses the program within their own relationships and cannot praise it more highly.

In addition to my Imago work, I'm also a certified cognitive therapist. Cognitive therapy has proven effective in treating a host of problems, including depression, anxiety and panic disorder. These individual problems are also affected by our relationships, and our relationships are likewise affected by these problems. Several cognitive therapy programs specifically address these issues.

I've also spent a number of years working in addiction treatment settings and am well acquainted with and supportive of 12 Step programs. It's well known among the recovery community that intimate relationships pose one of the major threats to maintaining sobriety, and Imago work can be enormously helpful here.

To summarize, I have over 20 years of professional experience providing individual, couples and group therapy, psychological evaluations and brief seminars in various public and private settings. My practice is in the Shadyside area of Pittsburgh, PA. I live nearby with my husband and our two dogs.
