In addition to other counseling and therapeutic training, Tony Petrelli is a Level 3 trained Gottman Method Couples Therapist. The Gottman Institute is dedicated to combining wisdom from research and practice to support and strengthen marriages, families, and relationships. In conjunction with the Institute, Gottman Method Couples Therapy was designed to help couples strengthen relationships through improving friendship, conflict management, and creation of shared meaning. The primary goals of the Gottman Method are to disarm conflicting verbal communication, increase intimacy, respect, and affection, remove barriers that cause a feeling of stagnation in conflicting situations, and create a heightened sense of empathy and understanding within the relationship.

If the goals of Gottman Method Couples Therapy are of interest, Tony Petrelli will gladly incorporate the Gottman Method within your counseling experience.
