Gottman Method Marriage Counseling & Therapy with Susan Wade, LCSWCertified Gottman Couples Therapy: More than techniques, science-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.
Why choose a "Certified" Gottman Therapist? A Certified Gottman Therapist has demonstrated advanced clinical skill and accountability through rigorous training and evaluation—beyond simply completing Gottman Method coursework.
The Gottman Method is based on over 40 years of research with more than 3,000 couples. It helps couples:
Reduce recurring arguments and conflict cycles.
Repair trust after emotional distance, affairs, or infidelity.
