Gottman Referral Network

About

As a Certified Gottman Therapist (CGT) and an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist (CST), we can tailor John & Julie Gottman's 40+ years of research to your particular needs. Having been trained personally by the Gottmans, 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 am sometimes 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 have improved communication, emotional connection, emotional safety, reduction in conflict, various sex or intimacy related issues, 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 6 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). Lisa, Dan, Mary-lynn, Bill, Corey, and Sara are wonderful relationship therapists who each help around 20 couples every week. 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 our group of relationships therapists, wonderful! Rather than emailing me directly through this website, please visit www.ClarityCounselingSeattle.com to view our current availability.
