I am the only fully Certified Gottman Couples Therapist in Central Illinois. This approach has been proven to be effective by empirical research. You learn skills that restore emotional communication and closeness in couples. Really hearing your partner's reality restores emotional closeness. Stop the day to day negativity as a couple. Gottman therapy targets patterns that may be impeding you in attaining your relationship goals. The therapy teaches concise skills addressing issues where the "rubber hits the ground." I am also a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Illinois. In addition to couples, I see families, children, and individuals.

"Counseling with Graham Thompson has been life changing. We came to Graham when our marriage was literally at the end. Graham taught us practical communication techniques, new ways of thinking and responding to each other. Graham could see to the heart of our issues, it seems almost immediately..." RT, Illinois
