The Gottman Method for Couples

The Gottman Method for couples aims to improve communication, increase intimacy, and resolve conflicts in a constructive manner.

Couples Therapy Overview

At Southlake Counseling, we understand that relationships are the cornerstone of a fulfilling life. Our specialized couples therapy, grounded in the renowned Gottman Method, is designed to help you and your partner build a stronger, healthier, and more satisfying relationship. The Gottman Method, developed by Drs. John and Julie Gottman, is a scientifically-based approach to couples therapy that focuses on strengthening the foundation of relationships through research-backed principles.

Key Principles of The Gottman Method
  • Building Love Maps: Enhancing your understanding of each other’s worlds to foster deeper connections.
  • Turning Towards Instead of Away: Encouraging positive interactions and bids for connection.
  • The Positive Perspective: Maintaining a positive outlook and valuing your partner’s intentions.
  • Managing Conflict: Developing effective strategies for conflict resolution without causing harm.
  • Making Life Dreams Come True: Supporting each other’s goals and aspirations.
  • Creating Shared Meaning: Building a shared sense of purpose and values.
Our Approach to The Gottman Method

Our experienced therapists are trained in the Gottman Method and are dedicated to helping you apply these principles to your relationship.

Our approach includes:

    • Assessment: Comprehensive evaluations to understand the strengths and challenges in your relationship.
    • Personalized Treatment Plans: Tailored strategies to address your unique needs and relationship goals.
    • Skill Building: Teaching practical skills for effective communication, conflict resolution, and emotional connection.
    • Ongoing Support: Providing continuous guidance and support as you work towards a healthier relationship.

We also offer the “7 Principles for Making Marriage Work” virtual program designed for couples to learn, practice, and implement relationship enhancement strategies.
