Build a stronger relationship, together.

Susan and the Gottman Method were so great at helping us improve our communication skills and reframe our approach to working through conflict. Susan is a great listener, and very intelligent on analyzing and picking up the smallest things that can make a world of difference. Plus, her dog Astro is the sweetest!

We have been married for 35 years, and our marriage wasn’t in crisis, but we recognized that we had established patterns early on that resulted in failure to connect in a meaningful way, struggling with communication and lack of intimacy. After our initial meetings with Susan, we realized that we were both committed to doing whatever it would take to revive and reinvigorate our marriage. Susan, armed with expert knowledge of the Gottman Method and her no-nonsense yet empathetic style, has helped us and has provided us with the tools that we use daily to achieve our goals toward communication and connection. Our marriage is the healthiest it has ever been, and we look forward to the many years of a happy and healthy marriage ahead of us! Side note, we still meet with Susan monthly as we stay focused on our work to make our marriage a priority.

We chose Susan because of her professional experience and her thoughtfulness about what she wished she had known earlier in life. We ended up benefiting even more from her compassion and kindness. She's the whole package, intellectually and emotionally.

Making the decision to see Susan has been a life-changing experience. My husband and I decided to go to therapy but wanted something with a plan. Susan and The Gottman Institute method were exactly what we needed. I not only have come to know my husband of 48 years better than I ever did, but I also have uncovered things about myself that I had long buried. I started therapy without much hope that our marriage was going to continue. After a few weeks of using the Gottman tools, I feel that we can talk openly about the past and that we can address issues that come up in a way that we both feel heard and understood. The Gottman Method is a program that anyone in a relationship would benefit from.

The Gottman survey/questionnaire cut to the heart of the matter. An important component we learned was that trust makes a world of difference, and we saw that in the results of the Gottman Relationship Check-Up survey/questionnaire. We also learned more about ourselves. And we learned more about our relationship than we ever thought possible. We also learned how to better communicate with Gottman techniques. Thank you for your guidance in teaching us how to better communicate.

Broadly educated, empathic and warm, Susan Metzger blends training, experience and a native intuition to create a truly healing client experience. Couples and individual clients can expect excellent care.

Yes, you should definitely take pride in all the help you gave us to rebuild our relationship. Without you I don't think we would be where we are and owe you a huge THANK YOU!!

Susan is passionate about helping couples get to a better place in their relationships. She is experienced in the Gottman Method and works with couples in distress or those wanting to deepen their bond. She is an excellent choice for a relationship coach.

You opened our eyes to The Four Horsemen. After 13 months, she has returned home. We have learned many a lesson, and although there is always room for improvement, we are getting along so much better. We have gone through some difficult times, but your guidance and Gottman made us realize communication is key. We continue to support each’s art, hobbies and household upkeep. Our behavior has changed. We decided to work things out. Again, without you, who knows what would have been. Thanks Susan, we are grateful.
