Evidence-Based Methods for Couples

It’s important to note that couples therapy isn’t a “quick fix”. It takes time, effort, and commitment from both partners to see the results. But, if you are willing to put in the work, couples therapy can be a very rewarding experience. Couples therapy can help you and your partner finally resolve the issues you’ve been struggling with. By working with a couples therapist, you can start to see each other in a new light.

Gottman Method

The Gottman Method is a research-based approach to couples therapy. We can help couples improve their relationship by teaching them skills to manage conflict in an effective way. You can build a stronger connection with each other. This approach focuses on helping couples turn toward each other to gain more respect and appreciation for their partner. In turn, this helps them create a more intimate and meaningful relationship.

Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy

EFT is another research-based couples therapy. It helps couples de-escalate the conflicts that they are facing. By doing so, they can take a step back and identify the negative patterns in their relationship. Once you identify those patterns, your couples therapist will guide you and your partner to change them. With this support, you can create a more healthy and connected relationship.
