Expired Gottman Level 1 | Professional Training | Summer | Live! In-person California or Virtual

In Level 1, you’ll gain a solid foundation in the Gottman Method — learning the core principles of the Sound Relationship House Theory, key predictors of relationship success or distress, and practical tools to help couples improve communication, manage conflict, and deepen connection.

While the training focuses on couples work, the insights and techniques you’ll learn apply far beyond couples therapy — enriching your work with individuals, families, and groups by deepening your understanding of human connection and relational dynamics.

Absolutely. Many professionals — including individual therapists, social workers, educators, coaches, and even medical or pastoral counselors — find Gottman Level 1 valuable for enhancing their work with individuals and families. The training provides research-based insights into relationship dynamics, communication, and emotional connection that can be applied across a wide range of clinical and non-clinical settings.

Level 1 is designed for therapists, counselors, coaches, educators, and other helping professionals who work with couples or want to integrate evidence-based relationship strategies into their practice. No prior Gottman training or couples therapy experience is required.
