Learn how to Move Couples from Conflict to Connection
Join us for Gottman Level 1 training in person at our cozy cottage and gardens! You’ll spend two exciting days with up to 17 other clinicians in our studio. We keep the group small. That way, everyone gets attention. You won’t feel lost or overlooked—we’re here for you. You’ll receive helpful tools based on real research. It’s a friendly space with lots of learning and support.
In this workshop, you’ll get a clear plan to help couples build stronger relationships. This plan comes from the Sound Relationship House Theory. Through it, we’ll explore Dr. Gottman’s research on thousands of couples. You’ll see what makes some relationships thrive while others fail. You’ll learn how to guide couples through conflict with care. What is more, you’ll understand how repair helps couples grow closer, build trust, and share their dreams.
If you don’t already use assessments, this training will show you how. You’ll learn to spot strengths and challenges using validated questionnaires. Real videos of couples from the famous Gottman “Love Lab” will be shown. You’ll see Dr. Julie Gottman in action, demonstrating how to assess and help couples in her own practice.
