Gottman-Method Couples Therapy
Dr. Greg Matos, Psy.D., ABPP
Couples Psychologist
Diplomate of the American Board of Professional Psychology
For high-performing individuals and couples who are stuck in conflict and need a clear path forward.
No endless therapy. No guesswork. Structured, results-driven guidance.
Does this sound familiar?
Conversations turn into the same unresolved arguments
Trust, connection, or respect has eroded
You’re questioning whether to stay or leave—but feel stuck
The idea of legal escalation feels premature… but doing nothing isn’t working
You don’t need more time in confusion.
You need clarity, direction, and a plan.
Get Unstuck—Quickly
This is a short-term, structured process designed to help you:
Determine whether the relationship can realistically be repaired
Break destructive communication cycles immediately
Make aligned, confident decisions about your future
If needed, separate in a more thoughtful, less damaging way
Clarity replaces chaos.
This Is Not Traditional Couples Therapy
Most approaches:
Drift without clear outcomes
Focus on endless processing
Avoid decisive conclusions
This work is different.
Time-bound and outcome-oriented
Direct, structured, and strategic
Designed for people who value efficiency and truth
You will not stay stuck here.
How It Works
1. Comprehensive Relationship Assessment
Joint Session: We assess relationship development, identify patterns, and evaluate communication skills.
Individual Sessions: We explore each partner’s individual experience in the relationship, personal developmental history, mental health, and past relationships.
Gottman Relationship Checkup: Couples complete empirically validated self-report measures of their relationship health and functioning online.
Feedback: Couples receive an extensive feedback session that integrates data from interviews and objective measures to identify strengths, relative weaknesses, and a concrete plan to address pain points.
2. Structured Intervention
A focused series of sessions to:
Interrupt destructive cycles
Build (or test) relational capacity
Practice new communication strategies, develop new rituals of emotional connection, and bolster fondness and admiration while clarifying core needs and engaging in any necessary compromise.
3. Decision & Direction
You leave with:
A clear path forward
Tools to execute that path
This Is For You If:
You’re successful in other areas of life—but your relationship feels stuck
You want clarity, not endless discussion
You’re open to direct, honest feedback
You’re deciding between repair and separation
