Not ready for ongoing therapy, or just want to start somewhere? This one-time workshop gives you real tools to take home the same day.
Many couples want to communicate better, but do not know where to start. This workshop gives you exactly that: a clear framework for understanding what is really happening during disagreements, and practical tools to navigate conflict with more ease, empathy, and effectiveness.
Drawing from the Gottman Method Conflict Blueprint, you will walk away with strategies you can use immediately and a shared language for talking through hard moments together.

One flat fee for two partners.
No insurance. Private-pay only.
A one-time, no-commitment entry point, or a complement to ongoing therapy.
Our therapists are trained in research-backed approaches that go deeper than surface-level communication skills.
Drawn from decades of relationship research, the Gottman Method helps couples understand conflict patterns, build friendship, and increase emotional intimacy so you can turn toward each other, even when things get hard.
We help you explore your attachment styles and understand how early relational patterns shape your current dynamic, creating a path toward a more secure, trusting bond.
We talk openly about the invisible labor of relationships including emotional caretaking, household mental load, and decision fatigue, and help you build a more equitable, respectful partnership.
Learn to stay present with each other, regulate your nervous systems during disagreements, and connect on a deeper, more embodied level together.
Couples therapy and workshop fees are private-pay only. Insurance companies require a diagnosis for one partner in order to provide coverage, but in couples work we do not view one person as the problem. We focus on the relationship as a whole. HSA and FSA funds may be accepted. We offer different session lengths and flexible spacing to help manage costs.
Our Ferndale therapists are dedicated to providing a knowledgeable, affirming, and non-judgmental space for all couples.
"Being able to feel safe with other people is probably the single most important aspect of mental health."Bessel van der Kolk
