Gottman Method

Couples Counseling is where both parties start the process of building a foundation of mutual respect and desire to intentionally hear one another. You don’t have to be in crisis in your relationship to desire to have the opportunity to work on communication around finances, shared responsibility, transition to parenting, intimacy, conflict- you name it, we’ve worked on it before in couples therapy.

asha is also trained in Gottman Method Couples Therapy (Level 2), and can teach you the communication skills known to be associated with happier relationships as a supplement to the our deeper work with EFT. Using the most effective methods, we will develop an understanding of the pattern in which you’re caught, learn how to relate in a way that will deepen your understanding of one another, and restructure your interaction with each other for true connection.

I am a Level 1 Gottman-Certified therapist. Couples I work with benefit from Gottman's approach, which seems heavily behavioral to me, built around concrete concepts of empathy and vulnerability, and grounded in common sense. That doesn't mean it's easy -- but it is tangible, and graspable. Gottman's tools are written in easily-understood worksheets that I provide in session, and you practice in and out of session. I'm a big fan of their work, and hopefully you will be too!

In my work with couples, I use the Gottman Method Couples Therapy.

I incorporate the Gottman Method into my therapy practice to help couples improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen their emotional connection. Based on research, the Gottman approach focuses on building friendship, managing conflict, and creating shared meaning in relationships. Through structured interventions, I help couples understand each other's needs, build trust, and foster respect, ultimately enhancing their bond and creating a healthier, more resilient relationship.

How cool is Gottman? If you don't know, John Gottman is a researcher who can accurately predict divorce with 93% accuracy after observing a couple for three minutes in a conflict discussion. At Resolve, we are students of this kind of research, and practitioners of the Gottman Method. The owner of Resolve, Dr. Hecht, is Gottman certified. Come see us today.

For couples, I draw from the Gottman Method to provide structure, tools, and insight into what makes relationships work and what leads to disconnection. Using evidence-based strategies, I help partners improve communication, build trust, and enhance intimacy. My approach is compassionate and collaborative, with a focus on helping both individuals feel heard and understood. I also weave in attachment theory and somatic techniques to help couples move through disconnection, repair and reconnection

Gottman Level 1 trained therapist

This approach is based on Dr. John Gottman’s 40 years of research investigating and defining behaviors and communication skills found in healthy, long-lasting relationships. I work with couples to identify these communication patterns that are blocking them from forming a deeper connection and instead work to learn new ways of interacting that are statistically proven to improve relationships and promote healing and connection.

The Gottman Method was developed by John and Julie Gottman and is the result of over 40 years of research into relationship success. Interventions are based on this research and designed to strengthen the areas of friendship, conflict management, and creation of shared meaning.

I use the Gottman method for couple’s therapy because it relies on scientifically validated tools and methods rather than general beliefs about what “should” work or how relationships “should” be. What this means for you is that you will receive a couple’s therapy approach grounded in a scientifically validated strategy that is tailored to the specific needs of your relationship. As a specialist in sexuality, I integrate sex therapy methods into the couples work that is informed by science.
