What is Gottman Method?
The Gottman Method is a research-based approach to couples counseling developed from decades of studying how relationships succeed and struggle. It focuses on building friendship and closeness, managing conflict constructively, and creating shared meaning.
What happens in a counseling session that draws on Gottman Method?
Sessions are conversational and practical. We look at how the two of you talk when things go well and when they do not, and I teach specific skills you can try between sessions, such as softer ways to raise a concern and ways to repair after an argument.
Who can benefit from Gottman Method?
Couples who feel stuck in the same arguments, who have drifted apart, or who want to strengthen a relationship that is already good. It can be used with couples at any stage, including those preparing for marriage.
Do you take insurance?
No. I do not take insurance. My practice is private pay.
Do you offer a free consultation?
Yes. I offer a free 15-minute phone call before your first session so we can talk about what you are looking for.
Do you offer online sessions?
Yes. Online sessions are also available by secure video, so you can meet with me from home or another private place anywhere in Texas.
How much does a session cost?
Sessions are 60 minutes, and the fee is $200 per session.
