Gottman-Based Couples Therapy

Relationships Are Essential to Well-Being

Rebuild Your Connection

Communication breakdowns, infidelity, financial disagreements, lack of intimacy, unresolved conflicts – sound familiar? Perhaps you’ve recently discovered something painful and are feeling overwhelmed and in distress. Or maybe you’ve gradually grown apart, feel disconnected and wonder if the grass is greener on the other side.

Relationships Are Essential to Well-Being

Research consistently shows that strong, healthy relationships play a vital role in physical health, mental well-being, and overall happiness. In fact, one study suggests that the biggest boost to marriage satisfaction occurs among people who consider their partner their best friend.

Relationships form the foundation of our emotional well-being, yet most couples encounter challenges at some point. Couples therapy can help you navigate these difficulties and rebuild your connection.

What is the Gottman Method?

Developed by Drs. John and Julie Gottman, the Gottman Method is a research-based approach to couples therapy that provides practical tools to strengthen relationships. Grounded in over 40 years of scientific research and work with couples, this method helps partners:

Improve communication and understanding

Manage conflict in a healthy, constructive way

Deepen emotional and physical intimacy

Build trust and long-term connection

In the Gottman Method, emotions are not typically viewed as the problem; instead, they are essential for fostering understanding, compassion, and facilitating change. Also, for many individuals, their positions are rooted in deep personal meaning, and it’s crucial to explore and address this to achieve lasting resolution.

How Can Gottman Couples Therapy Help You?

Every relationship experiences ups and downs. The key to lasting success is learning how to navigate challenges together. Gottman Couples Therapy equips partners with proven strategies to:

Recognize and break negative patterns

Express needs effectively without escalating conflict

Strengthen friendship and emotional intimacy

Rebuild trust after setbacks

Whether you’re looking to repair a strained relationship or betrayal, navigate life transitions, or enhance your connection, this structured approach provides the tools for success.

How It Works

First Session (1 hr 15 mins)

An oral history interview and then a conflict discussion (during which the therapist doesn’t intervene)

Second Session (50 mins each)

The therapist meets *individually* with each partner for approximately 50 minutes.  In line with the Gottman approach, these sessions are not confidential between one partner and the therapist – no secrets are kept.  Then, if both partners express sufficient commitment to the process, the therapist sends individual assessments to each partner.  Once both assessments are completed and returned, the third session is scheduled.

Third Session (1 hr 15 mins)

The assessments are reviewed and the discussions/activities begin.
