Couples Counseling
The Gottman Method
.jpg)
Based on over 40 years of research
Dr. John Gottman performed hundreds of empirical studies with over 3000 couples to learn what makes a "master couple" vs. a "disaster couple."
He and his wife, Dr. Julie Gottman, turned his research into a structured protocol for couples that teaches couples techniques to use to address an array of issues.
The Gottman method can help couples stuck in chronic conflict, struggling to communicate, emotionally distant, coping with infidelity, and facing conflict specific issues like money or parenting. It is also great for new couples wanting to learn how to have the healthiest relationship.
Why Us?
We are both Level III Gottman trained which includes specialized training in helping couples overcome affairs as well as how to heal relationships when a partner struggles with addiction to substances. We are listed on the Gottman referral network as approved providers by the Gottman Institute.
​
We also practice what we preach. We use Gottman Method in our own marriage and are both passionate about helping other couples learn how healthy conflict can increase your emotional intimacy and relationship satisfaction for life.
​
We truly care about the well-being of couples and saw there was a gap in highly trained couples counselors in our state.
