Do you and your partner struggle with communication?
Are you caught in patterns of blame, outbursts, shut downs, tears and withdrawal?
Do you feel lonely or emotionally distant?
Therapists at Purpose Psychology draw from the research based Gottman method which was developed from over 50 years of scientific study based on the most extensive study ever done on marital stability and divorce prediction.
Strengthening Connection and Communication
We use proven assessment and intervention strategies to disarm conflict, increase intimacy, and heighten empathy within your relationship. Depending on client’s preference or needs, we can learn strategies to self regulate and co regulate to improve relationship quality; use the Gottmans' proven framework, like the 'Sound Relationship House' theory to identify your relationship's specific strengths and weaknesses. We will work together to replace the 'Four Horsemen' (criticism, contempt, defensiveness, and stonewalling) with healthy antidotes and deeper connection, helping you navigate challenges and create shared meaning in your life.
Support for Relationship at Every Stage
Using the science-backed Gottman Method, we offer couples a clear roadmap to a healthier partnership. This method moves beyond generic advice, utilizing a thorough, research-based assessment (Gottman Relationship Checkup) to pinpoint the core issues. From building 'love maps' to managing conflict and turning towards each other, you'll learn effective tools to heal and strengthen your connection, backed by decades of data from the legendary 'Love Lab' research.
