Gottman Method Therapists in Antioch, TN
Life is a journey that often consists of this constant and intricate dance between our desire to be at peace with who we are now, while becoming our ideal selves. Productivity culture can often contribute to our living in an internally anxious space that leads to a poor sense of self and creates urgency around evolving and growing. Not only can this dissonance make it difficult to enjoy the ride, but it can also negatively influence our relationships with others as we struggle to navigate the nuances of this journey. How can these desires live harmoniously? How do we find peace within ourselves and in our relationships with others?

Are you hurting? We all struggle with issues in our lives. That's a hard road to walk alone without a guide to help you navigate. Anxiety, depression, or trauma in your life that continues to weigh you down....You just want to escape the pain. Then, there are other times when you want to be heard through some of life's smaller set backs or to assist as you consider major life decisions. It could be you're struggling in your relationships with a spouse or family member. Your child may be the one who is suffering, and you're looking for someone who can help them clear the emotional hurdle in their lives.

Clients who work with me are often navigating transitions, especially in their career or relationships. Often times, crippling fear holds you back from making that leap despite the inner "knowing" that something isn't for you anymore. I also work with those navigating other life transitions- breakups, divorce, spiritual shifts, or couples navigating new or challenging seasons (especially ADHD impacted relationships) in their romantic partnership. I also have a special interest in working with those looking to integrate non-ordinary states of consciousness experiences- included, but not limited to Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy.

I support women who feel overwhelmed, stressed, and anxious. You might appear to have it all together on the outside, but inside, you’re weighed down by life’s responsibilities. You’re in need of rest but unsure how to truly incorporate it into your life. Maybe you’ve been running on autopilot, focusing on others’ needs while neglecting your own. You’re familiar with your role as a caregiver, but do you know who you are and what you need outside of that role? I work with women who want to live with peace, show up authentically, and grow in their relationships with themselves and others. I help couples better communicate and trust.

Gottman Method Therapists
How does the Gottman method work?
One of the core doctrines of the Gottman method is that negative emotions hurt relationships about five times more than positive emotions help them. Thus, couples require five times more positive interactions than negative interactions with each other. The therapist will guide clients on how to improve communication and understanding of each other to manage conflict and have their emotional needs met. The therapist will also advise couples on how to repair relations with each other when conflict arises, and therefore avoid lasting damage.
Is the Gottman method evidence-based?
Yes, this method is an evidence-based approach to couples therapy. The method is based on more than 40 years of research by Drs. John and Julie Gottman, the psychologists who developed the method. The Gottmans analyzed decades of data to draw conclusions about what types of interactions are likely to lead to specific results, and which interventions are most likely to lead to success. Studies have found that this approach leads to improvements in relationship satisfaction, intimacy, communication skills, and a lower rate of divorce.
How long does the Gottman method take?
The duration of treatment depends on the specific challenges clients face. Sessions are typically 60 to 90 minutes long, and an average course of treatment is around 10 sessions. In some cases, such as for couples dealing with a critical problem, the therapist will suggest an intensive course of treatment, with daily sessions over the first two to four days. Treatment is complete when the couple is satisfied and has met the goals they’ve set, and when the therapist believes they have the skills to continue on their own.
Is the Gottman method effective?
Through the Gottman method, couples can achieve changes that are real and sustainable. This treatment has been used for more than 40 years; the method is supported by empirical research, including randomized controlled trials that have demonstrated effectiveness in improving relationship outcomes for couples. Like any talk therapy, success or failure depends in large part on how committed the clients are to making positive changes and working toward results.
