"Starting with minimal knowledge in couples therapy, I can confidently say that I feel well-equipped and informed after undergoing the training. By implementing these learnings, I feel that therapists can greatly impact their clients' lives, helping them reach breakthroughs in their relationships."

"I get incredibly high rankings for teaching the Gottman Method class. When I read the students’ feedback, it is because they walk out of the class more confidently. The way Gottman has structured the class, the content is great. Initially students are nervous about becoming a couples therapist. But after learning the Gottman class, they have more faith in what they do."

UOP Student Program Testimonial

“When a classmate mentioned the University Outreach Program (UOP) through The Gottman Institute, I jumped at the opportunity. The UOP allowed our MFT program to host our own Gottman Method Couples Therapy Level 1 Training at our university over the course of a weekend... Our advisors coordinated the training, picked a weekend that worked for us, and we dove into the research-based Gottman Method!”
