Frequently Ask Question

What is the Gottman Method?

The Gottman Method is a research-based approach to couples therapy developed by Drs. John and Julie Gottman. It focuses on helping couples strengthen friendship, improve communication, manage conflict, and create a deeper sense of connection.

How is this different from regular couples therapy?

Unlike general talk therapy, the Gottman Method is structured and guided by decades of research. You’ll not only explore your relationship dynamics but also practice specific, science-backed tools in session that you can take home and use right away.

Do we have to be married?

Not at all. The Gottman Method is for couples in a committed relationship, whether you’re dating, engaged, married, or together long-term.

What kinds of issues does the Gottman Method help with?

It can help with communication difficulties, recurring conflicts, rebuilding trust, healing after betrayal, enhancing intimacy, or simply strengthening an already healthy relationship.

How long does it take to see results?

Every couple is different, but many notice positive shifts after just a few sessions. The assessment phase gives you a clear roadmap, and consistent work helps build lasting change.

Is the Gottman Method right for every couple?

The Gottman Method is a great fit for most committed couples. However, it is not recommended in situations involving abuse of any kind, untreated substance dependence, or an ongoing affair that has not yet been addressed.

What is your refund and cancellation policy?

To reserve your spot, we require a deposit at the time of scheduling. Please note that the deposit is non-refundable once your intensive or session is scheduled, as this time is set aside exclusively for you. The remaining balance is due before the start of the session or retreat. If you need to reschedule, we’ll do our best to accommodate, but the non-refundable portion of the deposit will still apply.
