Get to know me

A message from
Dr. Chapman

Considering my experience working with clients struggling with life problems that appear irreparable, I believe that failure is never the end of the story. It is sometimes only the beginning. My experience taught me never to judge a book by its cover or the first chapter. That outlook can change the trajectory of each therapy session. As a clinician, the experiences that prepared me to boldly take calculated risks, despite the possibility of failing authentically, enabled me to empower my clients to embrace their potential. My goal is to use my knowledge of psychology worldwide to educate, encourage, and empower people to live their highest good.

Feedback from my couples

Dr. Chapman made each of us feel important in the discussions, both together and separately.

How would you describe your relationship before you contacted Couples Therapy Inc.?            

Stressful, defensive, feeling unsupported. We did a little bit of discernment, but mostly we needed to learn how to communicate better and be more understanding of each other’s anxieties. We’d been in couples therapy for several years, and there were successes and failures, but the Gottman Method intensive really seemed to resonate with us better. And I was worried that my partner would come away wanting to leave.

A suggestion from our couples therapist made us choose Couples Therapy Inc.         

Understanding and empathy has increased. Defensiveness and anger/resentment has significantly decreased. We appreciate each other more for who we are, and are less tied to expectations.        

I appreciated Dr. Chapman’s manner, his ability to keep us focused and in the moment, and how he made each of us feel important in the discussions, both together and separately.

Would you recommend your couples therapist and Couples Therapy Inc.? If so, why? If not, why not?

Absolutely. Although it was emotionally intense, I don’t regret a moment of it.

What three benefits resulted from working with Couples Therapy Inc.?  

We have increased transparency of communication. An increased ability to be in the moment with my wife, not stressed out about outside considerations. Decreased relationship-related tension and stress generally.

What would you say to couples that are considering working with Couples Therapy Inc.?         

I would recommend it. The entire experience was thoughtful, clear, and beneficial.

If you are really looking for help to repair your relationship and are willing to put in the work, Couples Therapy Inc is a wonderful place to start.

 Before contacting Couples Therapy Inc relationship was disconnected, difficult communication, feelings of indifference. We had tried couples therapy one time, early in our marriage. Not a great experience.

I had no knowledge of Gottman and this approach to relationship so I was apprehensive about being “sold a product.” 

But we liked the structure of the intensive therapy and Dr. Chapman. His background met our needs and I felt my husband would be comfortable speaking with him. Dr. Chapman was easy to talk to and a great listener. He got to the core of the matter quickly without making you feel foolish.

So far there has been less hostility, we still have a long way to go. We’ve identified core relationship issues, had challenging conversations, and were given road map of where to start in repair.

What would you say to couples that are considering working with Couples Therapy Inc.?         

If you are really looking for help to repair your relationship and are willing to put in the work, Couples Therapy Inc is a wonderful place to start. I think 3 or 4 days would be better if you have a long term relationship. Two days goes by really fast

I feel like a weight has lifted. We are reconnecting emotionally.

We wanted to learn to communicate effectively and resolve trust issues. We had tried couples therapy before, and it was helpful, but not as helpful as this was. We both liked the Gottman method.  The intensive technique made sense.

I feel like a weight has lifted. We are reconnecting emotionally. Dr. Nathaniel Chapman was extremely patient, listens intently, nonjudgmental, able to communicate effectively with different personality styles, has incredible insight.  It was safe and effective. 

I feel like I’ve released past trauma, understand myself and my husband better, feel more at peace and filled with hope.

Would you recommend your couples therapist and Couples Therapy Inc.? If so, why? If not, why not?

Yes!  It’s effective, quick and painless.  Very supportive environment. I highly advise it!  Do not hesitate at all. Overall incredible experience and we plan on continuing with the program.
