Gottman Method
Couples Counseling
From Research to Practice
Our couples therapy approach is grounded in the work of world-renowned relationship researchers and therapists, including John and Julie Gottman, Susan Johnson, and Dan Wile. Drawing from their research and methods, we provide couples with a clear and practical framework to learn tools and exercises that help renew, repair, rebuild, and rejuvenate their relationship.
The Importance of Relationships
A strong, healthy, and fulfilling relationship can be one of the greatest sources of support in life. Research shows that good relationships enhance overall well-being, improve resilience, support career success, and strengthen connections with family, friends, and colleagues. Relationships are one of the most important investments we make—they provide the foundation for love, family, finances, and shared experiences.
Practical and Evidence-Based
Our program focuses on practical, evidence-based strategies that target the heart of what makes relationships meaningful and connected. Couples are guided through proven techniques designed to strengthen trust, deepen intimacy, improve communication, and foster closeness.
A Goal-Oriented Approach
Our structured model of couples counseling unfolds in three phases:
Assessment – The process begins with a joint session to explore why you are seeking therapy now and to review the history of your relationship. Each partner then completes an individual session to better understand personal perspectives and histories.
Intervention – Once the initial assessments are complete, all subsequent sessions take place with both partners. Therapy focuses on goal-setting and applying targeted interventions that are proven to help couples create lasting change.
Growth & Strengthening – With the right tools and guidance, couples are supported in building stronger, more intimate, and resilient relationships that bring joy, connection, and stability to their lives.
