Gottman Method
Relationship Therapy
Gottman Method Couples Therapy combines John Gottman’s 35 years of research on couples’ relationships with Julie Schwartz Gottman’s more than 35 years of clinical practice. Through research-based interventions and exercises, Gottman Method Couples Therapists help couples break through barriers to achieve greater understanding, connection and intimacy in their relationships. Gottman Method Couples Therapy is a structured, goal-oriented, scientifically-based therapy. Intervention strategies are based upon empirical data from Dr. Gottman’s three decades of research with 3,000 couples. This research shows us what actually works to help couples achieve a long-term healthy relationship. Gottman Method Couples Therapy was developed out of this research to help you and your spouse or partner:
Increase respect, affection, and closeness
Break through and resolve conflict when you feel stuck
Generate greater understanding between you and your partner
Keep conflict discussions calm
Maintain improvements in your relationship
The therapy usually consists of two or three sessions of assessment and subsequent hourly therapy sessions, typically on a weekly basis. Gottman therapy helps couples develop and strengthen the qualities of positive, healthy relationships that Dr. Gottman discovered in his 35 years of research with couples.
