Gottman Method for Couples Therapy
Every relationship can have problems, and the Gottman Couples Counseling method can help.
Generally, couples choose therapy due to problems in their relationship that they can’t seem to resolve on their own. You might feel like you’ve grown apart or you might be experiencing a marital conflict that seems impossible to overcome. Couples counseling can help you work through these problems.
You don’t have to be in a crisis to benefit from couples therapy. Even happy couples might want to get tips on how to prevent future problems or learn how to communicate effectively. If you feel like your relationship is on the rocks because your partner doesn’t understand you, our Jupiter counselors can give you solutions to these issues.
One partner might be open to therapy, while the other feels it is a waste of time and money. In that case, the Gottman Method might be an ideal therapy solution because it is flexible and empowers the couples to work through their own problems even outside of the therapist’s office.
Many of our Jupiter therapists are trained in Gottman for couples including: Chris Siggins, Jessica O’Shea, Liz Solomon and Dr. Ann Marie Semich.
What is Gottman Method Couples Therapy?

relationship.
Revitalizing those early feelings help couples push past the stagnancy often felt in long-term marriages. The Gottman Method is ideal for working through many common relationship issues, such as infidelity, broken trust, communication problems, and more. The process starts with a thorough inspection of the current relationship before looking forward to where the couple wants to be.
