How We Approach Couples Therapy

Gottman Method

The Gottman Method is grounded in over 40 years of research on relationships and develops practical skills for managing conflict, deepening friendship and building shared meaning.

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

EFT targets attachment needs and emotional responsiveness, helping the couple to recognize negative cycles of interaction and to interrupt them.

Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy (IBCT)

IBCT combines change-oriented strategies with acceptance work – helping partners to both change behavior and develop empathy for differences that may not completely change.
