How We Work: The Models That Guide Us
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy.
That’s why we draw from several research-backed models. Each one offers a different lens—a way of seeing, naming, and shifting relationship dynamics. Some couples need structure. Others need to feel. Some need both.
Here’s a quick introduction to the frameworks we use most often. Click through if you want to dive deeper into any of them.
The Gottman Method
Grounded in decades of research, the Gottman Method offers tools to reduce conflict, increase connection, and rebuild trust. It’s structured, science-based, and practical—great for couples who want a roadmap.

EFT helps partners move beyond reactivity to name the fears underneath. It’s about safety, attachment, and learning how to turn toward each other—especially when it’s hardest.
