Gottman Referral Network

About

As an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist (CST) and a Certified Gottman Therapist (CGT), we can tailor John & Julie Gottman's 40+ years of research to your particular needs. I provide the resource of a highly-trained and focused therapist to help you both out of your struggles and into a wonderful team.

I am also a sex & intimacy therapist, with deep knowledge and training in helping restore sexual desire, sexual frequency, and discrepancy in desire, among many other sexual challenges. As a Certified Sex Therapist, I have been hired by The Gottman Institute to consult on sex and sexuality.

I do this work because I LOVE the experience of watching couples learn that their relationship can absolutely improve in the following ways: communication, emotional connection, emotional safety, reduction in conflict, various sex or intimacy issues, premarital, relationship stability and commitment, feeling heard & understood & seen, feeling validated in emotion & experience, increasing/repairing emotional intimacy, rebuilding trust, recovering from infidelity, etc.

My name is Justin Pere and I am a Licensed Therapist in the Seattle area for couples and individuals, with a specific focus on sex/intimacy, relationships, and men's issues.

*I run a group practice with 8 other well-trained Gottman-method relationship therapists, each of whom can absolutely help you and your partner if I am booked up (being wait listed is an option). Every colleague in my group is a wonderful relationship therapist who helps around 20 couples each week. In addition to the Gottman approach, half of them are also trained in sex therapy. We'd love for you and your partner to be able to benefit from the many ways our therapy team can help strengthen your relationship team!

*If you do wish to work with me or our group of relationships therapists, wonderful! Rather than emailing me directly through this website, please visit www.ClarityCounselingSeattle.com to view our current availability.
