What is Couples Therapy?
Couples Therapy, also known as marriage counseling or relationship therapy, is a form of therapy that focuses on helping couples improve their communication, resolve conflicts, and deepen their emotional connection. It provides a safe and neutral space where partners can explore their relationship dynamics, identify underlying issues, and work towards positive change and growth.
The Gottman Method: A Research-Based Approach
At our clinic, we utilize the Gottman Method in our Couples Therapy sessions. Developed by renowned psychologists Drs. John and Julie Gottman, this evidence-based approach draws upon extensive research and years of clinical experience. It provides practical tools, strategies, and insights to help couples build a strong foundation, effectively manage conflicts, and cultivate a lasting and fulfilling relationship.
