Gottman Method
Couples Therapy
You keep having the same fight in different clothes. Trust broke and hasn't fully come back. You're becoming parents and you can feel the distance growing before the baby's even here. This is where you stop circling and actually work through it.
What we work on
- The same argument on repeat, no matter how it starts
- Rebuilding after an affair or a breach of trust
- Feeling more like roommates than partners
- Protecting the relationship through a new baby (Bringing Baby Home)
How it works
Structured, research-backed work through the Gottman Method (Levels 1 and 2, plus affairs and trauma recovery training) — not just talking it out and hoping.
