Most couples wait six years too long to seek help, letting resentment bake into the foundation. At PPG, we utilize the Gottman Method—the most rigorously researched relationship framework in the world. We don’t just "talk" about your problems; we use 40 years of longitudinal data to help you build a relationship that actually lasts.
Our approach
The Insight
We begin with a deep-dive assessment. We help you identify the "Four Horsemen" (Criticism, Contempt, Defensiveness, and Stonewalling) that are predicting the decline of your connection and understand the "why" behind your cycles of conflict.
The Action
We provide the "Antidotes." You leave with tangible skills to de-escalate conflict, build "Love Maps" of your partner’s inner world, and create a culture of appreciation that outlasts the stress of daily life.
Clinical methods

How specialties work together at PPG
The PPG Difference: Relationship stress often mirrors or triggers individual anxiety or burnout. Because PPG is a multi-specialty group, your couples therapist can (with consent) coordinate with our adult individual specialists. We ensure your personal growth and your relational growth are moving in the same direction, rather than competing for your energy.
