Benefits of Certification
While clinicians learn Gottman Method assessment and intervention skills throughout the three levels of training, becoming certified is a way to demonstrate competency in these assessment and treatment methods. Academic learning is one thing; skillfully applying the research based principles with actual couples is another. Certification allows for the opportunity to think through cases with a highly experienced Gottman Method therapist who can assist in selecting appropriate interventions for specific clinical situations and then assist in fine tuning implementing these skills in a supportive context.
Pursuing certification allows for receiving supportive feedback on your work with couples. It involves practicing clinical intervention skills using specific criteria. By the end of the process, the therapist is confident that they not only understand the therapeutic methods, but have demonstrated that they can skillfully apply them in real life clinical situations. It provides a sense of direction to navigate through the complex processes which couples struggle with.
This provides a sense of self-assurance that comes through to couples which gives them the confidence to address the issues in their relationship.
Practical benefits of certification include:
- Recognized demonstration of competence from the public and professional colleagues
