When I work with couples I use a combination of Gottman couple's therapy and Testimony therapy. This allows you to experience work with a practice that has proven to work well with relationships (Gottman) and a therapy focused on specific cultural issues from the African/Black diaspora (Testimony) in a safe and hopeful therapeutic environment.
