Gottman Therapy

Developed by Drs. John and Julie Gottman, the Gottman Method is an approach to couples therapy that includes a thorough assessment of the couple relationship and integrates research-based interventions based on the Sound Relationship House Theory. The goals of therapy are to disarm conflicting verbal communication, increase intimacy, respect, and affection, remove barriers that create a feeling of stagnancy in conflicting situations, and create a heightened sense of empathy and understanding within the context of the relationship.

Using the 9 components of healthy relationships known as The Sound Relationship House Theory, couples will learn to build:

• Love Maps

• Share Fondness and Admiration

• Turn Towards Instead of Away

• The Positive Perspective

• Manage Conflict 

• Make Life Dreams Come True

• Create Shared Meaning

• Trust

• Commitment
