Strengthening Relationships with the Gottman Method

If you have that fight with your partner one more time…

You love this person and are committed. This relationship is so important to you both, but somehow it just isn’t working right now.

You’ve had the same arguments over and over, but you’re not getting anywhere. When you try to talk about it, your partner doesn’t understand you, and everything they say feels unreasonable.

Things have deteriorated. It’s now hard to communicate, even when you’re not fighting.

Maybe you’ve heard the hype: “Gottman is the way to go.”

“Gottman fixed my relationship.”

“Gottman can predict divorce.”

“Gottman can teach you how to have a stable marriage.”

John Gottman studied and observed couples for 40 years. His wife, Julie Gottman, turned his data into a teachable method to improve relationship stability.

The Gottman Method of couples counseling is data-based and driven by science. We know these methods work. There is a formula for improving your communication and relationship satisfaction.

But there’s no wishing or hoping for a fix.

We start with a structured assessment to get a clear picture of where things are going wrong. This assessment includes an initial session together, an individual meeting with each of you, and a multiple-choice questionnaire that you’ll take online. Once I gather all of the information, I will present the assessment results, and we will agree on goals and areas to focus on in therapy.

From there, I create a treatment plan that includes structured activities. These activities might feel strange at first, but you will quickly see how effective they are for communication. Initially, you will do these activities only in session with my support and direction. As they start to feel more natural, you will be able to work through them at home.

You will both learn how to communicate effectively – both in my office and at home. At last, you will both be able to express your feelings and needs… and respond to your partner’s requests.

It’s time that you create long-term relationship stability…

It’s all about learning what both of you need, how to express those needs, and being receptive to each other. The Gottman Method can help you do these things.
