Gottman Method of Couples Therapy
The Gottman Method of Couples Therapy is based on Dr. John Gottman's research over the last 4 decades. Based on the research, the method is designed to help teach specific tools to deepen friendship and intimacy in your relationship and help productively manage conflicts as well as appreciate your relationship strengths and navigate through its vulnerabilities.  

Assessment – An important first step in couples counseling.  Dr. Burns will meet with the couple for an initial assessment, and then with each partner individually.  The couple completes the relationship check-up and Dr. Burns will share feedback on the strengths and areas of growth for the relationship and build a relationship road map for treatment. 

Treatment – Therapy begins on the mutually agreed upon goals as defined during the initial assessment process.  The frequency, duration and length of treatment is determined by the couple’s specific needs and goals.
