CLINICAL APPROACH

How Tess Inman works with clients

Gottman Method

A research-based approach to couples therapy. Tess uses it to help partners understand their patterns, manage conflict, strengthen friendship, and rebuild connection — the core of her work with couples.

Couples & Relationship Counseling

Tess specializes in the dynamics between partners. She helps couples move past recurring conflict and communication breakdowns toward a healthier, more secure relationship.

Family Therapy

Tess works with families facing relational and systemic challenges, helping members understand the patterns that drive tension and build healthier ways of relating.

Systemic & Relational Therapy

Beyond couples and families, Tess helps individuals facing relational and systemic challenges — looking at how relationships, roles, and dynamics shape what someone is experiencing.

Premarital Counseling

For partners preparing for marriage, Tess uses Gottman-based tools to build a strong foundation — communication, shared expectations, and conflict skills — before challenges arise.

Strengths-Based & Person-Centered

Above all, Tess believes in her clients. Treatment is collaborative, individually tailored, and grounded in each person’s capacity for change and growth.

CARE PHILOSOPHY

Real work, real tools — not a rigid program

Tess approaches couples and family work with a simple belief: therapy should give you something you can actually use. There are no high-pressure program commitments, no treatment plans you didn’t agree to, and no one-size-fits-all protocol dropped on top of your relationship.

She works collaboratively, helping partners and families understand the patterns driving their conflict rather than just managing the symptoms. Grounded in the Gottman Method, her sessions focus on practical, research-based tools — communication, repair, and connection — that couples can carry out of the room and into daily life. You set the goals together, and the work adjusts as you make progress.
