The Gottman Method
The Gottman Method is a structured, research-based approach to couples therapy developed by Drs. John and Julie Gottman, grounded in over 40 years of clinical research on what makes relationships succeed or fail.
At its core, the method emphasizes that healthy couples maintain a ratio of five positive interactions to every negative one, as negative behaviors like contempt and defensiveness can be especially damaging. Therapy focuses on improving communication, managing conflict, and strengthening emotional connection through tools that promote affection, trust, and shared meaning.
Couples begin treatment with a comprehensive assessment and work collaboratively with the therapist to explore the dynamics of their relationship, develop practical skills for connection, and learn to navigate difficult issues like infidelity, emotional distance, or recurring arguments.
The method is applicable to couples of all backgrounds and stages, and it is especially helpful for those feeling stuck, emotionally disconnected, or overwhelmed by unresolved conflict. The framework is anchored in the “Sound Relationship House,” a model that helps partners build love maps, nurture fondness and admiration, turn toward one another, and cultivate trust and long-term commitment.
Therapy is always conducted with both partners present, and sessions aim to enhance mutual understanding rather than place blame. Certified Gottman Method therapists receive advanced training from the Gottman Institute and are uniquely equipped to guide couples toward lasting relationship health.
