Skills will be taught, help build trust, commitment, friendship, positive regard, conflict management and shared meaning.

The Gottman method of couples therapy is based on research by dr.’s John and Julie Gottman, to help couples think about what makes the relationship work well, and what makes relationships fail by using their sound relationship house theory. The approach deals with couples’ conflict and it’s resolution, but also extends beyond the conflict into everyday aspects of couples interactions through building and repairing the couples friendship and love.

     • It’s an effective couples therapy focused on emotion and dysfunctional negative patterns and cycles.
     • Focuses on emotional repair and building safety, trust, bonding, love, intimacy, friendship, and positive effects.
     • It’s a behavioral couple’s therapy focused on changing interactional patterns.
     • It’s an existentially based couples therapy, both in its approach to gridlock conflict.
     • It’s cognitive couple therapy, focused on how couples think about their relationship, and how they feel about feelings.
     • It’s a narrative therapy, focused on the stories the partners tell themselves.
     • It is a psychodynamic couples therapy, based upon specific aspects of analysis of the role the
      primary family relationships play in the here and now of interactions between the couple.
