Gottman Method Couples Therapy

Assessment

Gottman Method Couples Therapy always begins with a thorough three-step assessment:

STEP

90-minute joint appointment

Both partners meet with Dr. Carey to assess the current state of your relationship, your interactional style, and goals for treatment.

STEP

Two 60-minute joint appointments (one for each partner)

Each partner meets separately with Dr. Carey to discuss your individual history, interpersonal patterns, mental health history, and individual goals.

STEP

120-minute joint appointment

Both partners meet with Dr. Carey to learn: 1) the foundational Gottman model of secure and happy relationships, 2) how your relationship maps onto that model, and 3) where your relationship's strengths and challenge areas lie. Then you and Dr. Care will work together to finalize your treatment plan.

Also included in the assessment:

Access to an extensive collection of scientifically validated Relationship Checkup questionnaires curated by—and administered through—the Gottman Institute, as well as full data analysis and interpretation
Integration of intake paperwork, clinical observations, questionnaire results, and the data collected during the assessment into a comprehensive treatment plan
A customized report outlining your assessment results
PDFs of all the Gottman worksheets, brochures, cheat sheets, and informational documents you will need during your couples therapy session

Assessment fee: $2520

Treatment

In this phase, structured interventions are used to strengthen friendship, create intimacy, improve conflict management, and build trust and commitment. New skills are introduced and practiced in each session. Couples learn to replace negative conflict patterns with positive interactions, repair past hurts, and begin to create shared meaning and purpose in their relationship. Most of the work will involve sessions where you will be seen together as a couple. However, there may be times when individual sessions are recommended. You may be given exercises to practice between sessions.

The length of therapy will be determined by your specific needs and goals. In the course of therapy, we will regularly evaluate your satisfaction and progress. Also, you will be encouraged to raise any questions or concerns that you have about therapy at any time.

In the later stage of therapy, we will "phase out" or meet less frequently in order for you to test out new relationship skills and to prepare for termination of the therapy.

Although you may terminate therapy whenever you wish, it is most helpful to have at least one session together to summarize progress, define the work that remains, and say good-bye.

In the outcome-evaluation phase, as per the Gottman Method, four follow-up sessions are planned: one session after six months, one session after twelve months, one session after eighteen months, and one session after two years. These sessions have been shown through research to significantly decrease the chances of relapse into previous, unhelpful patterns. In addition, commitment to providing the best therapy possible requires ongoing evaluation of methods used and client progress. The purpose of these follow-up sessions then will be to fine-tune any of your relationship skills if needed, and to evaluate the effectiveness of the therapy received.

Sessions are typically 80-minutes, once per week. Marathon sessions (i.e., 2-6 hour time blocks) are also available for those who would like more intensive, extended sessions that allow for deeper work and quicker results. Time blocks of 3+ hours are offered on Mondays and some weekends, for your convenience.
