Evolve Your Relationship

Whether you are just getting started in your relationship and want to learn skills to protect and enhance your relationship or are long-term partners ready for a refresh, East Bay Relationship Center is the Bay Area’s premier provider of couples therapy, marriage and couples workshops. We also offer online and in person Gottman Method training for clinicians.

Our approach to relationship health is explicitly based on research by The Gottman Institute into couples and families. The methods we use are the culmination of 40+ years of research with 3,000+ couples — undeniably the most extensive studies ever done on relationship stability and satisfaction.

As a result, we believe we can offer our clients real life results.
