Couples Therapy

Therapy is offered to couples who would like to work on any presenting problems in their relationship. Cognitive Behavioural therapy and compassion focused therapy are types of approaches used to assist in this process.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) specifically focuses on how thought-emotions-behaviours interact with one another and how core beliefs affect responses to one another.

Emotional Focused Therapy focuses on our critical voice or mind and how to become more compassionate about ourselves and others.

Putting it all together, sessions can be offered to couples that promotes healing and enhances a connection between two parties. 

The goals of Gottman Method Couples Therapy are to disarm conflicting verbal communication; increase intimacy, respect, and affection; remove barriers that create a feeling of stagnancy; and create a heightened sense of empathy and understanding within the context of the relationship.
