Did You Know?

Most couples wait six years after trouble starts before seeking therapy.

According to the Gottman Institute, couples typically struggle for six years before reaching out for help—by then, emotional wounds may be deep, but healing is still possible with the right support.

Relationship stress activates your brain’s survival system.

When conflict arises, the amygdala (your brain’s alarm center) can hijack your ability to think clearly. That’s why our neuroscience-based approach teaches co-regulation skills to calm your nervous system—and your conversations.

Happy relationships improve physical health and increase longevity.

The Harvard Grant Study, an 80+ year longitudinal project, found that the quality of your close relationships is the strongest predictor of health and happiness in later life—even more than genetics or income.

You can rewire how you relate—at any age.

Thanks to the brain’s neuroplasticity, it’s never too late to build new patterns of trust, communication, and connection. Our work leverages this science to help you create lasting change—starting now.
