Gottman Method

Our counseling psychologists at Human Integrated Performance are well versed in a variety of therapies and counseling techniques to suit your needs, including The Gottman Method for relationship counseling. What makes the Gottman Method effective for couples therapy?

The Gottman Method is a type of couples therapy that includes an in-depth examination of the couple’s relationship and incorporates research-based therapies. The Gottman Method focuses on identifying and changing negative patterns in relationships, and on building positive attitudes and behaviors. Gottman Method counselors work with couples to help them improve communication, increase intimacy, and resolve conflict. Gottman Method counseling has been shown to be effective in helping couples stay together and improve the quality of their relationships.

The Gottman Method is based on the research of Drs. John and Julie Gottman, who have studied couples and marital stability for over 30 years. The goal of Gottman Method Couples Therapy is to reduce conflict in verbal communication, boost intimacy, respect, and affection within the relationship, remove barriers that cause a sense of stagnation, and enhance empathy and understanding.
