The Gottman Method is a broad-based treatment that serves all couples, at any age, and in any stage of a relationship.
The method can be applied to many relationship problems but may be particularly useful for couples who are:
Stuck in chronic conflict
Coping with infidelity
Struggling with communication
In a stagnant relationship or emotionally distanced
Facing difficulties over specific issues, such as money, parenting, or sex
All Gottman Method therapy is based on a couple’s patterns of interacting, and partners learn and implement relationship-building and problem-solving skills together.

Fun Facts
