Couples Therapy

The Gottman Method is a research-based approach to couples therapy developed by Drs. John and Julie Gottman, grounded in over 40 years of scientific research on what makes relationships succeed or fail. This method focuses on strengthening the friendship and emotional connection between partners, improving communication, and building skills to manage conflict constructively.

Therapy sessions using the Gottman Method typically begin with a thorough assessment of the couple’s relationship dynamics, followed by a tailored treatment plan that addresses areas such as trust, intimacy, shared goals, and effective communication. Couples are guided through structured exercises and interventions designed to enhance closeness, increase respect and affection, and resolve issues without blame or defensiveness.

Couples seeking lasting change often find the Gottman Method especially effective because it offers practical, research-based tools that are easy to integrate into daily life. A therapist trained in this method brings specialized knowledge in identifying patterns that predict relationship distress and in guiding couples toward healthier, more connected partnerships.

Working with a Gottman-trained therapist means you’ll receive:

• A structured, evidence-based approach to therapy
• Concrete tools for improving communication and resolving conflict
• Insight into the specific strengths and challenges in your relationship
• A focus on rebuilding trust, friendship, and emotional intimacy

Whether you're navigating recurring arguments, healing after a betrayal, or simply looking to deepen your connection, the Gottman Method offers a proven path toward a stronger and more fulfilling relationship.
