The Gottman Method of couples therapy is a research-supported approach designed to enhance relationships by bolstering the bond between partners, resolving conflicts, and fostering shared meaning in their relationship through comprehensive assessments and tailored interventions that improve communication, trust, and the overall health of the partnership.
On average, couples attend marriage and couples counseling for 12 weeks. However, couples & marriage counseling may last longer or shorter, dependent on the couples’ needs, the challenges they’d like to work through, and the pace of their progress.

How Can Couples Counseling Benefit Our Relationship?
Working with a couples therapist can do more than resolve conflict and repair a broken relationship. Counseling can also help you prevent future issues. Many couples find that therapy improves their relationships for years to come, due in part to the valuable skills and takeaways learned during multiple couples therapy sessions.
When you decide to pursue relationship counseling, your licensed therapist will help you understand the issues in your relationship and walk you through various exercises, techniques, and coping skills that can help resolve them. Together, you’ll learn how to better communicate with one another and apply modalities such as active listening and problem-solving to reach solutions to the barriers that exist between you.
Improved communication and problem-solving skills can be valuable in many other areas of your life as well. You may find your relationships with friends, family, and even coworkers become easier and more enjoyable when you’re better equipped to understand others and work together to solve mutual problems.
