The Gottman Method is designed to support couples across all economic, racial, sexual orientation, and cultural sectors. I have found that change is possible even in long-term relationships with established patterns of conflict. Central to my work is the concept of empathy—understanding each partner from within his or her subjective experience. Such understanding leads to compassion and tenderness between partners, a sense of feeling known and accepted, and is central for change. The Gottman Method is a practical approach that helps couples strengthen their friendship, repair after a fight, and compromise. Couples therapy can be life-changing, whether your relationship is in crisis or you simply want to strengthen what’s already working.
The Gottman Method utilizes structured and solution-focused interventions to teach couples practical ways to:
- Deepen their emotional connection
- Replace negative conflict patterns with positive interactions
- Increase intimacy, respect, and affection
- Repair past hurts
- Rebuild trust
- Recover from affairs or infidelity
- Adjust to parenthood
- Increase sexual satisfaction and compatibility
- Create shared goals and values
