Are you facing relationship challenges that are too complex or difficult for standard, one-size-fits-all therapy? When you are dealing with deep-rooted conflicts, cultural or religious differences, a painful betrayal of trust, or a feeling that you and your partner are stuck in repeating gridlocked arguments, you don’t just need a therapist who is trained in general clinical models. You need a specialist, a heart surgeon of relationships, who understands the complex, challenging relationship dilemmas and can help you learn how to communicate, manage conflict, and increase connection and intimacy with a structured proven approach.

As a licensed psychologist with over 40 years therapy experience, and a Senior Certified Gottman Therapist & Trainer, I have trained over 500 therapists, facilitated over 100 Gottman couples retreats and intensives, and helped over 3000 couples in my practice. I offer an effective, integrated, and multi-method approach to relationship therapy and education.

Whether it is regular couples therapy, a couples intensive, a Gottman couples weekend retreat, or relationship education to break through years of gridlock, I offer you many modalities of expert care for your relationship needs. Don't wait for things to fall apart further. Click the website link above to schedule a free 30-minute consultation with me.

When Love Hurts: A Support group for women

Hosted by

Dr. Vagdevi Meunier

Ending a relationship is not always possible or the right thing to do. What do you do when you can’t leave but you are struggling to stay in the relationship? Perhaps you have experienced escalating conflict in your relationship that leads to lasting wounds? Or you have felt stressed, challenged, and hopeless in asking for your needs to be met. Perhaps you have experienced criticism, disrespect, and contempt that really hurts. This group is for women wanting to learn better strategies for de-escalating conflict, maintaining peace and stability, and avoiding emotional or verbal injury that wears them down.
