Marriage/Couples Therapy
Based on the observation of over 3,000 couples, Gottman Method Couples Therapy is a practical and highly effective approach to guiding couples across the chasm that divides them. This approach uses research-based assessments and effective interventions. When appropriate, Mary Jane uses the Gottman Biblical Reference Guide to integrate Biblical Scripture into the Gottman method. Gottman Method Couples Therapy helps couples strengthen:
- The Friendship System – the foundation for intimacy and an emotional connection
- The Conflict System – the basis for helping couples identify and address solvable problems
- The Shared Meaning System – the foundation of the relationship that helps partners discover their shared purpose for building a life together.
