Meet Our Counselors
Arturo & Tracy Paulino
GOTTMAN METHOD / GROWINGCOUPLES
Every couple has room for growth. From preparing for marriage to navigating difficult seasons and finishing strong, we help partners move through the highs of dreaming together and the lows of conflict, distance, or even divorce contemplation.
Our approach is grounded in the Gottman Method, backed by advanced clinical training and years of hands-on counseling experience. Our desire is to reduce the immediate crises straining your relationship while strengthening long-term foundations so you can navigate future challenges with confidence.
Why Work With a Couple-Team?
As a husband-and-wife team married since 2001 — and parents of five daughters — we bring both professional expertise and lived experience into the counseling room. We offer:
Individual Sessions
Couple-to-Couple Sessions
Customized Intensives – multi-day, highly focused sessions (often over a weekend) designed for deep alignment, correction, and connection. Intensives are recommended after a thorough Gottman-based assessment and provide the gift of uninterrupted time to create measurable progress.
