Research-Based Couples Therapy

 
Welcome!

Sally Harris

Effective therapy with a couples therapist requires trust and confidence. I use research-based Gottman couples therapy which allows me to assess your relationship dynamics clearly and develop a personalized plan to address your specific challenges. I also assess effectiveness of therapy along the way to maximize the success in meeting your goals.

The Gottman Method of Marriage Counseling rests on more than 40 years of research from the work of John Gottman, PhD and Julie Gottman, PhD, a husband and wife team who founded The Gottman Institute. Their book 7 Principles of Making a Marriage Work has been a best-selling book for two decades. For more information, click Gottman Institute.

For those interested, I also provide Christian counseling to help integrate spiritual and emotional development within the therapy process.

Why Choose Counseling Service 
at Charlotte & Lake Norman?

Passionate

Many clients have told me they can tell that I love what I do.  That energy motivates them to keep working on their goals.  I bring a sense vitality and vigor to the therapy room, and that passion is contagious and encouraging.

Individualized

Because every client and every relationship is unique,  effective therapy must be tailored to meet these specific needs.  The Gottman relationship assessment and my own coaching style together create the flexibility needed to make therapy highly effective and engaging

Results

If clients are not reaching their goals, I am not doing my job. I am hyper-driven to help clients clarify and move toward their goals, operating within their own personalities and styles.  I believe clients should be able to perceive their progress with confidence.
