Gottman Method Couples Therapy in North Bay

Our Approach

Gottman Method Couples Therapy

A research-backed approach to building trust, communication, and lasting emotional connection.

What is Gottman Method Couples Therapy?

Gottman Method Couples Therapy is a structured, evidence-based approach that helps partners feel more connected, understood, and secure in their relationship. Built on over 40 years of research, this method focuses on strengthening friendship, improving communication, and navigating conflict with empathy rather than escalation. Through guided conversations and practical exercises, couples learn tools that foster emotional closeness, respect, and long-term relationship stability. As a Registered Psychotherapist, my approach to individual therapy blends evidence-based strategies—such as CBT, DBT, ACT, and trauma-informed practices—with warmth, curiosity, and honest conversation. Together, we’ll look at the patterns that may be holding you back and develop practical tools to help you create meaningful change.

Scientific Evidence

The Gottman Method is one of the most researched forms of couples therapy in the world. Developed through decades of observational studies and clinical trials, the method is grounded in Drs. John and Julie Gottman’s findings on what makes relationships succeed or fail. Their research demonstrates measurable improvements in relationship satisfaction, communication, and conflict management, making it a trusted and validated approach for couples seeking meaningful change.
