Couples often wait an average of 6 years from the time they identify problems in their relationship until they seek help. (Notarius & Buongiorno, 1992). By that point, years of hurt feelings and resentments have built up, making it difficult to reconnect and rebuild trust. That’s why we offer an intensive Gottman Relationship Assessment. The assessment, based on the research of Dr.s John & Julie Schwartz-Gottman, provides a detailed picture of the current state of your relationship. It's an opportunity to take a step back, identify the areas that are causing the most trouble or challenge allowing therapy to begin where improvements are needed most.
The couples relationship check up is a 4-session process. Much like a doctor will not prescribe medication until they know your full medical history, we need to fully understand the inner workings of your relationship. The assessment allows us to identify your relationship’s specific areas of strength and weakness. During the final assessment session, we present your results and teach you the foundations of happy long-term relationships.
For some couples the assessment is all that is needed. You can take your results home and work the improvements into your relationship at your own pace. The assessment information and your deeper understanding of your relationship act as your guideposts. For some couplesk, a more structured longer term therapy approach is helpful. Therapy begins after the assessment process is complete and is delivered by a Gottman Method trained therapist. Gottman Method counseling is backed by over 45+ years of experience.
Every relationship goes through peaks and valleys, challenging problems or periods of disconnect. Our goal is to help you navigate whatever may come so that your relationship can continue to bloom. At Safe Space we work tirelessly against the myth that only couples with deeply ingrained relationship problems enter counseling.
