Couples Counseling - Gottman Therapist

Relationships can be complex and challenging, and when couples feel disconnected, unappreciated, frustrated, or dissatisfied, couples counseling can help. Dr. Wishnatzky is a certified Gottman Therapist, trained in the latest marital research and methods of Dr. John Gottman and the Gottman Institute. The positive practical approach to working with couples provides clients with the tools and skills that will get results.

Gottman Method couples therapy combines Dr. John Gottman's 40 years of research on couples' relationships with Dr. Julie Schwartz Gottman's more than 35 years of clinical practice. Through research-based exercises, Gottman Method Therapists help couples break through barriers to achieve greater understanding, connection, and intimacy.

Gottman Method Couples Therapy is a structured, goal-oriented, scientifically-based therapy. Gottman Method Couples Therapy was developed to help couples:

• Increase respect, affection, and closeness
• Deepen the friendship foundation of your relationship
• Rebuild trust after an affair
• Break through and resolve conflict when you feel stuck
• Generate greater understanding between you and your partner
• Keep conflict discussions calm
• Create shared meaning
• Maintain improvements in your relationship

Gottman Method Couples Therapy typically consists of two or three sessions of assessment and subsequent treatment sessions, typically on a weekly basis. Dr. Wishnatzky will provide clients with a thorough assessment, a focused treatment plan, and feedback based on Gottman's Sound Relationship House, focusing on the client's friendship, how they approach conflict, and how they can create a more intimate and fulfilling relationship.
