Couples Therapy

At our practice, we understand that relationships are the cornerstone of a fulfilling life, yet even the strongest partnerships can face challenges. Whether you're experiencing communication breakdowns, recurring conflicts, or simply looking to deepen your connection, couples therapy can provide the guidance and tools necessary to foster a healthier, more satisfying relationship.

What is Couples Therapy? Couples therapy is a collaborative process that helps partners understand and resolve conflicts, improve communication, and strengthen their bond. Our experienced therapists are specially trained in the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT), two of the most effective and research-backed approaches in the field of relationship therapy.

Our Trained Approaches to Couples

Our couples’ therapists have specialized Couples Therapy training in one or more of the following areas:

Gottman Method Couples Therapy: Based on decades of research by Drs. John and Julie Gottman, this approach focuses on enhancing the friendship, intimacy, and emotional connection between partners. Techniques include building love maps, nurturing fondness and admiration, and managing conflict through gentle communication and mutual respect.

Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT): Developed by Dr. Sue Johnson, EFT is designed to help couples create secure, lasting bonds. It focuses on identifying and transforming negative interaction patterns, fostering emotional responsiveness, and building a secure attachment between partners.
