Our Approach
What is the Gottman method?
The Gottman Method is a research based approach to couples therapy developed by Drs. John and Julie Gottman, aimed at improving relationship satisfaction and emotional connection. Grounded in over 40 years of scientific techniques to help couples strengthen communication, resolve conflict, and build lasting intimacy. Central to the Gottman Method are tools like the “Sound Relationship House” framework and evidence-backed interventions that address trust, commitment, and effective communication. By focusing on what makes relationships thrive, the Gottman Method offers a proven path to healthier, more fulfilling connections.
