If there is a dilemma for even for one partner, then there is a problem with the relationship. Inimate relationships often face the paradox of insecurities; they can turn out to be either profound beauty or heartache. When you both are unable to sort things out and to agree on one point, then it can turn out to be one of those times when there are high chances that you and your partner can quickly turn against or away from one another, leading to end the beautiful relationship. Our therapists invite you and your partner in a safe place where you both, as a couple, can explore your emotions. Our counselors help confused couples, how to navigate your unique relationship and move forward with all the love and care for one another.

Gottman Method Couples Therapy™   www.gottman.com 
Gottman Method Couples Therapy is a structured, goal-oriented, scientifically-based therapy.  Intervention strategies are based upon empirical data from Dr. Gottman’s three decades of research with more than 3,000 couples.  This research shows us what actually works to help couples achieve a long-term healthy relationship. Gottman Method Couples Therapy was developed out of this research to help you and your spouse or partner:

• Increase respect, affection, and closeness
• Break through and resolve conflict when you feel stuck
• Generate greater understanding between you and your partner
• Keep conflict discussions calm
• Maintain improvements in your relationship

The Gottman Theory For Making Relationships Work:

• Build Love Maps: How well do you know your partner’s inner psychological world, his or her history, worries, stresses, joys, and hopes?
• Share Fondness and Admiration: The antidote for contempt, this level focuses on the amount of affection and respect within a relationship. (To strengthen fondness and admiration, express appreciation and respect.)
• Turn Towards: State your needs, be aware of bids for connection and turn towards them. The small moments of everyday life are actually the building blocks of relationship.
• The Positive Perspective: The presence of a positive approach to problem-solving and the success of repair attempts.
• Manage Conflict: We say “manage” conflict rather than “resolve” conflict, because relationship conflict is natural and has functional, positive aspects. Understand that there is a critical difference in handling perpetual problems and solvable problems.
• Make Life Dreams Come True: Create an atmosphere that encourages each person to talk honestly about his or her hopes, values, convictions and aspirations.
• Create Shared Meaning: Understand important visions, narratives, myths, and metaphors about your relationship.
• Trust: this is the state that occurs when a person knows that his or her partner acts and thinks to maximize that person’s interests, and maximize that person’s benefits, not just the partner’s own interests and benefits. In other words, this means, “my partner has my back and is there for me.”
• Commitment: This means believing (and acting on the belief) that your relationship with this person is completely your lifelong journey, for better or for worse (meaning that if it gets worse you will both work to improve it). It implies cherishing your partner’s positive qualities and nurturing gratitude by comparing the partner favorably with real or imagined others, rather than trashing the partner by magnifying negative qualities, and nurturing resentment by comparing unfavorably with real or imagined others.
