Gottman Method

Secondary method I use with couples (after attachment- and somatic-based EFT). I have a standard foundation of training and experience in Gottman as an LMFT, and use these methods alongside an EFT framework. I am currently pursuing additional training in these specific approaches to best serve clients from a variety of helpful techniques.

This approach is based on Dr. John Gottman’s 40 years of research investigating and defining behaviors and communication skills found in healthy, long-lasting relationships. I work with couples to identify these communication patterns that are blocking them from forming a deeper connection and instead work to learn new ways of interacting that are statistically proven to improve relationships and promote healing and connection.

Level-I Gottman trained

The Gottman Method was the first couples modality I was trained in (Level I + II, as well as Affair Recovery and Addiction Recovery). My clients and I love it for its very approachable framework, and I still use it often.

Gottman Method Couples Therapy uses 50 years of research on communication in relationships to help clients hear/understand each other, move past conflicts and misunderstandings, and develop greater intimacy, trust, and commitment.

Gottman therapy is used for couples only - here we learn a new way to communicate, improve intimacy, learn positives and negatives in the relationship and how to draw goals individually and goals for the relationship. An online questionnaire is used to help sort out the strengths and the areas that need work.

Gottman has 40 years of long term studies with couples. Gottman wanted to know, "What's the difference between happy and unhappy couples?" And, "Are there things happy couples do or don't do that are different from unhappy couples?" We start with administering the Gottman Couples Check Up to identify the specific areas in your relationship that need to be strengthened. We practice communication skills in session.

Gottman Method is a highly researched couples therapy modality. I have Gottman level 1 and Gottman level 2 trainings.

gottman method and emotion-focused therapy are evidenced-based approaches geared towards creating trust, commitment, fondness and admiration, and shared meaning for couples.

How cool is Gottman? If you don't know, John Gottman is a researcher who can accurately predict divorce with 93% accuracy after observing a couple for three minutes in a conflict discussion. At Resolve, we are students of this kind of research, and practitioners of the Gottman Method. The owner of Resolve, Dr. Hecht, is Gottman certified. Come see us today.
