A Research-Based Path to Stronger Relationships
Lasting love doesn’t just happen—it’s built, moment by moment, with care, communication, and emotional safety. The Gottman Method of Couples Therapy, created by Drs. John and Julie Gottman, is rooted in decades of research into what helps relationships thrive—and what puts them at risk.
This approach focuses on identifying your relationship’s unique strengths and challenges, then creating a personalized plan to support growth, connection, and repair.
It all begins with a thorough and compassionate assessment process, including:
A joint relationship interview
Individual conversations with each partner
The Gottman Relationship Checkup (an in-depth online survey)
A collaborative treatment planning session based on your unique results
From there, we begin building your toolkit—together.
Using your personalized plan, you’ll learn the Gottman communication skills that support stronger friendship, deeper emotional intimacy, and healthy conflict management. Through structured conversations, we’ll practice how to:
Bring up small issues before they turn into major conflicts
Navigate tough conversations without blame or shutdown
Repair misunderstandings in ways that feel respectful and lasting
Grow empathy and validation as daily habits of love
These aren’t just “therapy topics”—they’re real skills you can use every day to strengthen your bond. In fact, they form the foundation of the Gottmans’ “6 Hours to a Better Relationship”—small weekly habits that can make a big difference in how you feel connected.
