Your roadmap to a better relationship
A highly effective evidence based approach to couples therapy.
The Couples Enrichment Center supports couples who are looking to strengthen and improve their relationships. We look forward to working with you to identify the strengths in your relationship and build on them to help you thrive. All couples are welcome here.
THERAPY
The Gottman Method
The Gottman Method is the most empirically validated couple therapy used today. The Gottmans studied thousands of couples for over 40 years though structured observation and even biological testing to develop their theory of couple therapy. They found that couples who stayed together all shared similar traits and behaviors; while couples who separated also shared similar traits and behaviors. Thanks to all the couples who came before, we now have specific interventions that can help couples build a long-lasting relationship and stay together.
Discernment Counseling
Based on the work of Bill Doherty, discernment counseling is indicated when one or both partners are ambivalent about staying in the relationship or are unsure about couples therapy.
For these couples, we offer discernment counseling. This is a time-limited one to five-session process structured to help the couple confidently decide their next steps.
