Couples Therapy

Couples therapy

Like all relationships, your connection with your partner will come with its challenges. You can find resolution by seeking support together at Vital Minds Psychotherapy.

We have carefully curated programs for couples therapy, including the iconic Gottman Method and Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT). With these targeted and empathic approaches, we provide you and your partner with the tools and insight you need to build a stronger, more fulfilling relationship.

It is exclusively made for you

  • We know that each couple’s dynamic is unique, and we tailor our approach to suit your specific concerns and goals.
  • Our therapists excel at The Gottman Method so that you can reconnect and rejuvenate your relationship.
  • We employ evidence-based approaches like love maps and emotionally-focused couples therapy (EFT).

Why does the Gottman Method work for you?

Over four decades of research with thousands of couples, The Gottman Method is the basis for our approach. This type of therapy is here to help you understand patterns in your relationship and build what Dr. John Gottman calls the ‘Sound Relationship House.’ It helps to –

  • make improvements to your friendship,
  • ensure constructive management of conflict, and
  • create shared meaning in your relationship.

This holistic approach focuses on nine elements of healthy relationships; these include building love maps and creating shared goals and values, among others.

We also have experience in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy or EFT. It helps couples understand and change their emotional patterns by deepening their bond and building trust. This approach focuses on underlying emotions rather than surface-level conflict. Doing so allows couples to identify negative interaction cycles and express feelings of vulnerability safely. This evidence-based therapy helps partners become more emotionally accessible and responsive to one another. The result is that you they see long-term improvement in relationships and increased intimacy.

Our well-trained therapists can help

With our expertise, we help you to identify and resolve the roots of persistent conflicts, enhance communication, and become emotionally connected. Whether you are dealing with trust, recovering from an affair, facing a desire for less intimacy, or more, we can help.

Our therapists will provide an atmosphere that balances support with equal exposure to both of your voices. It will be ideal to rebuild lost trust and have meaningful conversations that strengthen the bond. We have experience with challenging discussions and ensure that we create adequate avenues for each of the partners to express themselves freely.
