Gottman Certified Therapist? Get Help from an Expert

Are you struggling in your marriage or love relationship? Do you and your partner have trouble communicating, fight a lot, or feel like you’ve grown apart? If so, you might be able to solve your problems by going to a Certified Gottman Method Couples Therapist for help.

Gottman Method Couples Therapy is an approach to couples therapy that has been shown to help couples improve their communication, solve problems, and build stronger, happier relationships. But the Gottman Institute hasn’t certified all therapists who say they use the Gottman Method. I’ll talk about why it’s important to choose a Certified Gottman Method Therapist.

How does the Gottman Method Couples Therapy work?

Drs. John and Julie Gottman created the Gottman Method, a therapy for couples based on their long-term study of relationships, which has been going on for more than 40 years. Through their research, John and Julie Gottman have found certain behaviors and attitudes that can show whether a relationship will work.

Gottman Method Couples Therapy is a structured way to help a couple’s relationship get better. It includes a thorough evaluation of the couple’s relationship, a list of its strengths and weaknesses, and a treatment plan to fit the couple’s needs. The therapy is meant to help couples improve how they talk to each other, work out their problems, and build a stronger emotional connection.

Why Should You Choose a Certified Gottman Method Therapist?

Training and certification that are hard to pass

As a Certified Gottman Method Therapist, I have been trained by the Gottman Institute, completing a highly rigorous training and certification process that includes going to workshops, finishing online courses, and going to therapy sessions that are supervised. The training includes both talking about the Gottman Method and using it with couples.

As a therapist, my clinical work was reviewed, and I also had to pass a written and oral exam. This ensures that, as a Certified Gottman Method Therapist, I know a lot about Gottman Method Couples Therapy and excel at helping couples with it.

Couples Therapy Approach Based on Evidence

Gottman Method Couples Therapy is based on facts. This means that a lot of research has been done on it and it has been shown to help couples improve their relationship. As a Certified Gottman Method Therapist, I have been trained to use techniques that have been shown to work to help couples improve how they talk to each other, solve problems, and build a stronger emotional connection.

Treatment Plans Made Just for You

As a therapist certified by the Gottman Institute, I was trained on how to make unique treatment plans for each couple I work with. I pinpoint each partner’s strengths and challenges and create a plan to fit their needs. This increases the likelihood that the therapy works and makes sense for the couple.

Continuing Education for Professionals

As a Gottman therapist, maintaining certifcation means taking part in ongoing professional development, ensuring I am aware of the latest research and methods in couples therapy. Choosing a therapist who is certified by Gottman, you can be sure that I are committed to my professional growth and development.

Standardized tools for testing a relationship

As a Certified Gottman Method Therapist, I use standardized assessment tools to help figure out where a couple’s relationship is strong and where it needs work. These assessment tools have been thoroughly researched and tested, giving a clear picture of the relationship between both partners. This helps as I create a treatment plan that fits the specific needs of the couple.

Focus on feeling connected

Gottman Method of Couples Therapy puts a lot of emphasis on building and keeping emotional connections between partners. As a Certified Gottman Therapist, I was trained to help couples improve their communication, empathy, and understanding of each other’s needs. This helps both partners feel closer to each other emotionally.

Choosing a Gottman-certified therapist can make a big difference in how well your couples therapy works. As a Certified Gottman Method Couples Therapist since 2006, you can be assured that I know how to use techniques with couples like you that have been proven to work.

When you meet with a potential therapist, be sure to ask about their training and experience with the Gottman Method and how they do couples therapy — and be wary if they have only taken a weekend workshop rather than being trained for many years as a Gottman Method Couples Therapist, and certified for nearly 20 years. You can feel confident that you will get the best care and support as you work to make your relationship healthier and happier.
