Our Services
The Couples Enrichment Center specializes in couples therapy. We also offer discernment counseling and support.
Couples Therapy (Gottman)
Our couples therapy program utilizes The Gottman Method. It is the most empirically validated couples therapy used today. The Gottmans studied thousands of couples for over 40 years through structured observation and even biological testing to develop their theory of couples 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 of the couples who came before, we now have specific interventions that can help couples build long-lasting relationships 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.
