Couples
We support couples using the Gottman Method, helping them strengthen communication, deepen connection, and navigate challenges with research-backed strategies. By integrating this approach into our family system work, we not only enhance the couple’s relationship but also create a strong foundation for the entire family. Through this process, couples build healthier dynamics, improve conflict resolution, and foster a supportive home environment.
What We Do
Couples Coaching is available as a stand alone service or incorporated with Wonder’s family system model:
Weekly sessions for dedicated and consistent progress
Bi-weekly sessions, alternating with parent coaching, for a balanced approach
Collaboration with our individual and parent coach for a more comprehensive approach
