"I recently attended a Gottman Level 2 training with Caralee at Principle Skills, and I couldn't be more impressed! Caralee is an exceptional couples therapist with a wealth of experience. She teaches the skills in a straightforward, relatable way that makes everything easy to understand and apply. If you're considering training or support for your practice, I highly recommend Caralee and the Principle Skills team!"

The trainer is excellent and makes sure understanding has occurred. Appreciated personal practice examples and techniques. Well organized training. Appreciate the practical advice as far as what is most successful application. Love the personal examples. Also appreciate the book suggestions. Thank you for sharing your time, sharing your skills and expertise. I am grateful I was able to take Level II with you. Much appreciated! You are an excellent trainer. Thanks also for the Amy treats and mindfulness when we needed breaks. Wonderful presentation. Thank you. I look forward to Level 3! Presentation was fantastic. Caralee is wonderful and warm. Caralee is an amazing teacher - very helpful, excellent teacher. The in person training is entirely different and by far more helpful than online.
