The Gottman Method
for Couples

The Gottman Method is an evidence-based therapeutic approach that emphasizes healthy communication and understanding partners’ inner worlds. Couples may work on increasing intimacy, admiration, and friendship or improving the ways they approach conflict. The interventions are based on decades of research and couples therapy interventions by Drs. John and Julie Gottman. I find that The Gottman Method works well in conjunction in Person-Centered Therapy, Systems Theory, and Emotionally Focused Therapy. I use these approaches to tailor therapy for each relationship and goal of therapy.
