Gottman Method Couples Therapy
Building Stronger Relationships Through Research-Based Tools
Every relationship experiences conflict—but how couples manage that conflict determines the strength and longevity of their bond. Gottman Method Couples Therapy is a research-driven approach that helps partners deepen connection, improve communication, and navigate conflict in healthy, productive ways.
What Is the Gottman Method?
Developed by Drs. John and Julie Gottman, this method is based on over 40 years of research with thousands of couples. The Gottman Method blends therapeutic insight with practical interventions to strengthen the “Sound Relationship House”—a model that supports friendship, intimacy, and shared meaning.
​
Rather than just addressing surface-level problems, Gottman therapy explores the underlying dynamics that shape relationship satisfaction and stability.
