Cholula Psychological Services provides a culture-based setting for couples to discuss their relationship difficulties. We use research-based methods to help identify methods such as Gottman to identify strengths and weaknesses of the relationship. We focus on using couples therapy to help nurture and strengthen relationships, particularly in the Hispanic, Latino, Bi-cultural, and Spanish-speaking communities.
The Gottman Method is a renowned approach that promotes emotional intimacy, trust, and effective communication within couples. Our therapists use this scientific research-based method to help couples revitalize their connection and find renewed joy in their relationship. The Gottman Method can be used to help couples reestablish a strong partnership built on a solid foundation of understanding, mutual respect, and shared goals.
A CULTURAL APPROACH
We understand that every relationship is unique, and cultural factors play a significant role in shaping those dynamics. That's why our therapists integrate cultural sensitivity into our couples approaches. We address common challenges couples may face within their cultural contexts and provide a custom approach to addressing unique cultural aspects in relationships.
Whether you're American, Hispanic, Latino, Bi-cultural, or a Spanish-speaking couple, we personalize each couple's treatment to enhance the effectiveness of therapy.
THE GOTTMAN METHOD
The Gottman Method is a research-based intervention used in couples therapy. The goals are to disarm conflicting verbal communication; increase intimacy, respect, and affection; remove barriers that create a feeling of stagnancy; and create a heightened sense of empathy and understanding of the context of the relationship.
The Gottman Method is designed to help couples strengthen their relationship in three primary areas: friendship, conflict management, and the creation of shared meaning.
ASSESSING THE RELATIONSHIP
Our evaluation process intimately explores the layers, stages, and dynamics of the relationship. Each individual can express their own emotions and perceptions, both in a private session with the therapist and with a confidential questionnaire: the Gottman Relationship Checkup. The questionnaire helps identify areas of both weakness and strength.
The couple discusses the Relationship Checkup results with the therapist or psychologist and begins the treatment process. Together you’ll work on specific goals that focus on communication skills, rebuilding trust, and fostering a deeper sense of intimacy.
