We use evidence-based protocols such as the Gottman method to help you understand and navigate some of the challenges you are facing in your relationship. While we get to know you and your partner, we will also be assessing your communication styles, patterns of relating, and conflict management to better gauge how to help change unhealthy habits in your relationship to healthy ones. As we do this, we take into consideration not only your relationship, but the context it exists within - family dynamics, cultural factors, religious or spiritual factors, and social aspects. From this vantage point, our therapists will work with you to repair existing wounds while preventing further wounding.
