The marriage feels "meh." Your love and commitment are strong, but something is off. Talking about it hasn't helped. It just leads to more arguing, pain, and resentment. It feels like things are getting worse. You both desperately want to fix it. Because as much as you love each other, you can't sign up to keep doing this for the next decade and beyond. Something has to change. And in your bones, you know it can be how you are in your marriage. It’s time to renew your relationship.

It is always a vulnerable choice we make when we decide to attend therapy. Therefore, it is only natural to look for a safe place to be ourselves. To speak, be heard/validated, and to feel secure. Most importantly, to feel listened to without the fear of judgement. I understand. I aim to provide such a place for you where we can also collaborate, help promote self-growth, and self-exploration within your relationship with yourself or with others. Those are difficult situations to navigate and to find yourselves in and the therapeutic process is a personal journey, so seeking the right kind of therapist is important.

Gottman Method Therapists

How does the Gottman method work?

One of the core doctrines of the Gottman method is that negative emotions hurt relationships about five times more than positive emotions help them. Thus, couples require five times more positive interactions than negative interactions with each other. The therapist will guide clients on how to improve communication and understanding of each other to manage conflict and have their emotional needs met. The therapist will also advise couples on how to repair relations with each other when conflict arises, and therefore avoid lasting damage.

Is the Gottman method evidence-based?

Yes, this method is an evidence-based approach to couples therapy. The method is based on more than 40 years of research by Drs. John and Julie Gottman, the psychologists who developed the method. The Gottmans analyzed decades of data to draw conclusions about what types of interactions are likely to lead to specific results, and which interventions are most likely to lead to success. Studies have found that this approach leads to improvements in relationship satisfaction, intimacy, communication skills, and a lower rate of divorce.

How long does the Gottman method take?

The duration of treatment depends on the specific challenges clients face. Sessions are typically 60 to 90 minutes long, and an average course of treatment is around 10 sessions. In some cases, such as for couples dealing with a critical problem, the therapist will suggest an intensive course of treatment, with daily sessions over the first two to four days. Treatment is complete when the couple is satisfied and has met the goals they’ve set, and when the therapist believes they have the skills to continue on their own.

Is the Gottman method effective?

Through the Gottman method, couples can achieve changes that are real and sustainable. This treatment has been used for more than 40 years; the method is supported by empirical research, including randomized controlled trials that have demonstrated effectiveness in improving relationship outcomes for couples. Like any talk therapy, success or failure depends in large part on how committed the clients are to making positive changes and working toward results.
