About us
Co-founded by Drs. John and Julie Schwartz Gottman, The Gottman Institute has two major functions: helping couples directly, and providing state-of-the-art training to mental health professionals and other health care providers. The Gottman Institute applies leading-edge research on marriage in a practical, down-to-earth therapy and trains therapists committed to helping couples. No other approach to couples education and therapy has relied on such intensive, detailed, and long-term scientific study of why marriages succeed or fail. Just as Masters and Johnson were pioneers in the study of human sexuality, so Dr. John Gottman has revolutionized the study of marriage. For nearly four decades he has conducted research on all facets of relationships, including parenting issues. At The Gottman Institute, in collaboration with Dr. Julie Schwartz Gottman, he developed an approach that not only supports and repairs troubled marriages and committed relationships, but strengthens happy ones. The Gottman Institute provides live workshops and take-home training materials for couples, while The Gottman Referral Network provides therapy referrals to couples. We understand that the human family is in crisis, and that all individuals are capable of and deserve compassion. It is our mission to reach out to families in order to help create and maintain greater love and health in relationships.

It’s National Hug Day! Hugs aren’t just comforting, they’re scientifically proven to strengthen emotional bonds. By boosting oxytocin, known as the “love hormone,” hugs create feelings of trust and closeness. They also lower cortisol levels, helping to reduce stress and promote a sense of calm. According to Gottman’s research: ✨Hugs activate the parasympathetic nervous system, reducing stress. 💞Physical touch creates emotional safety and strengthens bonds. ⏳Even a brief 6-second hug can turn toward your partner’s bids for connection.
