Gottman Referral Network

About

I’m Justin Pere, a Certified Gottman Therapist (CGT), AASECT Certified Sex Therapist (CST), and Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 22 years of experience helping couples strengthen their connection, improve communication, and rediscover closeness. My clinical focus includes emotional intimacy, sexual fulfillment, conflict resolution, and communication skills that last.

As a Certified Sex Therapist, I also support couples navigating mismatched desire, low/no sex, and other intimacy concerns. In the past, the Gottman Institute has asked me to consult with them on sex and sexuality topics, given my experience bringing that lens into my sessions. Whether you're looking to feel more like a team, rebuild emotional safety, or bring back a sense of ease and playfulness, I can help.

In addition to my own caseload, I founded Clarity Counseling Seattle—a group practice of eight exceptional relationship therapists. While many are trained in the Gottman Method, others use equally thoughtful, evidence-based approaches like EFT (Emotionally-Focused Therapy), which dovetails nicely with the Gottman Method. What unites my team at Clarity is a commitment to helping couples reduce conflict, increase connection, and build real communication tools for the long haul.

If my schedule is full, I warmly recommend one of my colleagues. Every therapist in our practice works almost exclusively with couples and brings deep care and clinical excellence to this work. We’re also a collaborative team, regularly consulting with one another to strengthen the support we offer our clients.

We work with couples of all kinds and stages—from dating and premarital to long-term relationships—offering both in-person sessions in Seattle and secure telehealth throughout Washington.
