Gottman Method Couples Therapy with Susan Wade, LCSWCertified Gottman Couples Therapy:
more than techniques, evidence-based care.
Relationships can get stuck in cycles of conflict, stonewalling, or emotional distance.
Gottman Method Couples Therapy offers a structured, research-backed approach to help partners reconnect, communicate more effectively, and create lasting change. Therapy with me focuses on practical tools, emotional repair, and rebuilding the friendship and intimacy that relationships thrive on.
Why Gottman Therapy Works
Dr. John Gottman, called “The Einstein of Love” by Psychology Today, is known worldwide for his groundbreaking research on relationships. Author or co-author of 40 books, including the New York Times bestseller The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work, he and his wife, Dr. Julie Schwartz Gottman, co-founded The Gottman Institute to bring decades of relationship science to couples everywhere.
The Gottman Method for Couples Therapy is based on over 40 years of research with more than 3,000 couples, making it the most extensive study ever on marital stability and divorce prediction.
This science-backed method helps couples:
Reduce recurring arguments and conflict cycles
Repair trust after emotional distance or infidelity
Improve emotional closeness and intimacy
Learn practical communication tools to manage disagreements
Build shared meaning and long-term relationship vision
