Welcome to Gottman Therapy: Strengthening Your Relationship
The Gottman Method is a renowned approach to couples therapy that has been developed over four decades of rigorous research and clinical practice. If you're seeking to improve your relationship, you've come to the right place. As a therapist trained in the Gottman Method, I am committed to helping you and your partner navigate the complexities of your relationship and build a stronger, healthier connection.
In addition to the foundational Gottman Method for couples, I have received specialized training in several key areas:
Infidelity Recovery: I am equipped to address the challenges of infidelity and affairs through the Gottman approach known as Infidelity Recovery. This specialized training allows me to assist couples in navigating the complex emotions and issues that arise in the aftermath of infidelity.
Trauma-Informed Care: If one or both partners have a history of trauma that is affecting the relationship, I am trained in the Gottman approach to trauma-informed care. This means I can provide support and strategies tailored to your unique situation, ensuring that past trauma does not hinder your relationship's growth.
Substance Use Concerns: I have training in the Gottman approach to working with couples where one or both partners are dealing with substance use issues. This includes situations where one partner is actively using or is in recovery. Unlike some approaches to couples therapy or marriage counseling, the Gottmans’ research shows that couple's therapy can actually be a valuable part of the recovery process, and it can increase the likelihood that a person with substance use concerns seeks treatment.
These specialized areas of training within the Gottman Method allow me to offer comprehensive support, addressing the specific challenges that couples may face. No matter what obstacles you encounter, I am here to provide you with the tools and guidance you need to strengthen your relationship and achieve lasting happiness together.
Proven Effectiveness
One of the most compelling aspects of the Gottman Method is its proven effectiveness. Studies have shown that this approach boasts a success rate of approximately 70-75% in helping couples improve their relationships. Moreover, these improvements tend to be sustained over the long term, with couples reporting continued satisfaction years after therapy has concluded.
Reduced Divorce Rates
Couples who engage in Gottman Therapy are often less likely to divorce or separate compared to those who do not seek professional help. This therapy equips couples with the tools and strategies they need to address issues and conflicts constructively, reducing the likelihood of relationship breakdown.
Improved Communication and Emotional Connection
Gottman Therapy places a strong emphasis on enhancing communication skills and fostering emotional connection. Research has shown that couples who undergo this therapy demonstrate better communication, reduced negative behaviors, and increased emotional intimacy.
Cost-Effective and Accessible
Compared to the potential financial and emotional costs of divorce or separation, Gottman Therapy is often considered a cost-effective option for couples seeking to repair and strengthen their relationships. Many trained therapists and counseling centers offer this approach, making it accessible to a wide range of couples seeking help.
