Gottman Method

Gottman Therapy is a research-based approach to couples counseling developed by Drs. John and Julie Schwartz Gottman. It focuses on building and maintaining a strong, healthy relationship through practical, evidence-based strategies. Central to Gottman Therapy is the idea of creating a Sound Relationship House, which includes fostering trust, enhancing communication, and managing conflicts constructively.

I have completed level 3 Gottman Couples Therapy Training.

I am trained in Gottman Method therapy at level 3 and have worked with couples from this model since 2015. I love that Gottman Method is research based and has 40 years of practical application behind it's methodology and interventions. I use the Gottman Relationship Checkup with couples and meet with them both together and individually throughout the course of therapy. There are specific tools I use that help couples have a better relationship from day one of our work together. We practice these tools in session and work through the bumps so it's easier to implement at home.

I also have advanced training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy, a method backed by 50 years of research, to help couples strengthen their friendship, foster a positive perspective, and constructively manage conflict. The Gottman Method improves intimacy and reduces conflict by teaching couples how to enhance their communication, express appreciation, and navigate disagreements effectively. You will learn concrete tools that you can rely on to help you manage conflict constructively.

I am trained in Level 2 Gottman Method Couples Therapy. I use this to help couples move past vicious cycles of poor communication and toxic patterns toward trust and intimacy.

The Gottman Method was the first couples modality I was trained in (Level I + II, as well as Affair Recovery and Addiction Recovery). My clients and I love it for its very approachable framework, and I still use it often.

asha is also trained in Gottman Method Couples Therapy (Level 2), and can teach you the communication skills known to be associated with happier relationships as a supplement to the our deeper work with EFT. Using the most effective methods, we will develop an understanding of the pattern in which you’re caught, learn how to relate in a way that will deepen your understanding of one another, and restructure your interaction with each other for true connection.

The goals of Gottman Method Couples Therapy are to disarm conflicting verbal communication; increase intimacy, respect, and affection; remove barriers that create a feeling of stagnancy; and create a heightened sense of empathy and understanding within the context of the relationship.

I use the Gottman Method to help you and your partner reflect on what brought you together, emphasizing the strengths of your relationship. This approach provides tools for effective conflict management, laying the groundwork for healthy communication. We will find ways you can foster fondness and appreciation, encouraging both of you to intentionally invest in each other emotionally. Ultimately, this work aims to rebuild your friendship and reignite the passion and romance for each other.

I am being trained in the Gottman Method to assist couples in developing friendship, conflict management, and creation of shared meaning. I help couples transform negative ways they communicate with positive interactions to help heal past resentments. The Gottman Method includes, "interventions designed to increase closeness and intimacy are used to improve friendship, deepen emotional connection, and create changes which enhances the couples shared goals. Relapse prevention is also addressed."
