Evidence-Based Approaches That Support Real Change

Whitney integrates several research-backed therapy methods to support couples in resolving conflict and enhancing emotional intimacy:

❤️ The Gottman Method for Couples Therapy

This structured, science-based approach helps partners strengthen friendship, manage conflict constructively, and build shared meaning. You’ll learn tools for:

• Improving communication skills

• Repairing past hurts

• Navigating perpetual issues without gridlock

• Increasing mutual admiration and respect

🧘 Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for Couples

DBT offers powerful tools to manage intense emotions, improve self-awareness, and communicate mindfully—especially in relationships where emotional regulation has become difficult. DBT skills help both partners reduce reactivity and create a calmer, more stable connection.

💞 Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

EFT is ideal for deepening emotional intimacy and repairing the underlying patterns of conflict. This approach helps identify negative interaction cycles, express core needs, and rebuild a secure emotional bond rooted in empathy and responsiveness.

A Safe Space for Both Partners

As a therapist, Whitney is here to support—not to judge or take sides. Her goal is to help each partner feel heard, understood, and empowered, while fostering collaboration and emotional repair. Couples therapy is about more than resolving issues—it's about growing together with intention and purpose.
