Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to be married or in a relationship to come?

This event is designed specifically for people in committed relationships. We definitively don’t recommend making this a first or early date. However, you don’t have to be married. If you’re engaged or seriously dating, you’ll get a TON of value out of attending. You’ll probably fall even deeper in love … which is really the goal, isn’t it?

What if I can’t find childcare?

Hey, we get it. Life is crazy right now. We want you to take a step away from daily life and really focus on each other. We encourage you find childcare for the weekend and make a date out if the event. Childcare will not be provided at the venue.

Satisfied Clients

“My husband and I have been seeing Debbie and Gwen for over a year now for both individual and couples therapy. They have provided us so many helpful tools and provided suggestions on useful communication techniques to guide us through our journey together. There objective views regarding both of our “sides” have been so beneficial throughout our therapy journey. They have both provided the opportunity to work on ourselves individually and as a couple. By introducing us to steady and proven models of couples therapy they have given us the framework to build a stronger and healthier relationship. Debbie and Gwen were the keys to rebuilding our relationship and we couldn’t be more grateful for their support. They are great therapists and overall wonderful women. Thanks you two."

“When we arrived in Debbie’s office we felt desperate and broken. I had chosen her practice since she was one of the only therapists I could find in Reno that followed the Gottman method. That first week, Debbie listened without judgement and taught us about “the four horseman” aka the dangerous behaviors that had snuck into our marriage. We also learned about the antidotes to combat these toxic behaviors. Over the following weeks, we learned to talk to each other in the context of our feelings. We learned to fill each other’s cup and feel gratitude for the small things. We have a different marriage today and use the very tactical, simple tools Debbie taught us with each other, our kids, and others. I could not recommend Debbie and the Gottman method enough. She empowered us to save our marriage. As you can see we are very grateful."
