Specialized Therapy for Couples

Relationships are at the heart of our well-being — and like anything meaningful, they require care and intention.

What Makes Our Approach to Couples Therapy Unique

Our therapists draw on advanced training in the Gottman Method, a research-based approach to relationship therapy that blends warmth and structure. With over four decades of studies behind it, this method helps couples understand each other more deeply, repair emotional disconnects, and move toward shared goals.

The Gottman Method

Evidence-based care for real relationships.

This model focuses on strengthening your relationship through key pillars:

  • A solid friendship is the foundation of every thriving partnership.  We help couples rebuild emotional closeness and increase the moments of connection that matter the most. 

  • Disagreements are normal. What matters is how you move through them. You’ll learn how to communicate your needs respectfully and understand your partner’s perspective — even in the heat of the moment.

  • Intimacy is more than physical — it’s about safety, trust, and vulnerability. We support you in reconnecting emotionally and keeping the spark alive.

  • Discovering shared values, rituals, and long-term goals helps bring alignment and purpose to your relationship journey.

  • We teach couples how to shift from defensiveness and criticism to appreciation and connection- even when things feel tough.
