Therapy for Partners/Couples

We find the Gottman Method to be very effective to help married couples improve communication, understanding, and empathy, and to increase intimacy, respect, and affection. Our goal is to help couples build stronger relationships overall and find healthier ways to cope with issues as they arise in the future.

​​Common Issues

Couples therapy can help with issues such as:

  • Frequent conflict and arguments

  • Poor communication

  • Emotional distance on the verge of separation

  • Sexual difficulties

  • Infidelity

  • Financial Concerns

  • Parenting

Our therapists aim to:

  • Provide a safe, balanced space for both partners

  • Help you express needs without blame or defensiveness

  • Teach practical tools to de-escalate conflict

  • Support emotional and physical reconnection

  • Guide you toward lasting, respectful partnership

Our Focus in Therapy

We encourage couples to:

  • Better understand each other’s history, concerns, and hopes

  • Strengthen fondness, appreciation, and respect

  • Manage conflict in healthy, productive ways

  • Nurture gratitude and cherish one another’s strengths

  • Approach the relationship as a lifelong journey of growth

What to Expect

In sessions, couples can expect to:

  • Explore relationship patterns and emotional triggers

  • Learn tools for clearer, calmer communication
