Couples Therapy
Do you feel disconnected from your partner? Do you find yourself angry, resentful, afraid to say the wrong thing, hurt or misunderstood?
When you try to talk to your partner does it often lead to a fight?
Do you at times avoid conflict and harbor resentment?
If you are struggling in these areas, you are not alone.
Conflict in relationships is one of the top reasons clients seek therapy.
Research shows that empirically based couples therapy, such as Gottman Therapy method we use for couples counseling shows lasting, positive change for 70% of the couples.
Before starting couples therapy, it’s essential to know what to expect and understand your rights and commitments. We’ve designed our couples therapy process to be as transparent as possible, ensuring you’re fully informed before beginning your journey toward a healthier relationship.
Our approach is grounded in the Gottman Method, developed by Dr. John Gottman and Dr. Julie Schwartz Gottman. This research-based method aims to:
1. Disarm conflicting verbal communication
2. Increase intimacy, respect, and affection
3. Remove barriers that create stagnancy
4. Enhance empathy and understanding within your relationship
The Sound Relationship House theory underpins our approach. Imagine a secure marriage as a house with seven floors, each representing a crucial aspect of your relationship.
Our goal is to help you move through these floors, strengthening your bond along the way.
Here are some key components of our therapy:
1. Build Love Maps: Get to know each other’s inner psychological worlds.
2. Share Fondness and Admiration: Express appreciation and respect openly.
3. Use “I Feel” Statements: Improve communication by expressing feelings without blame.
Whether you’re married, in a same-sex relationship, or come from diverse backgrounds, our method is designed to support you. Let’s work together to create a stronger, more fulfilling relationship.
