Magdaline BraxtonMarriage & Family Therapist Associate, LMFTA

About

Magdaline specializes in couple’s work as a Gottman Styled Couples Therapist to help couples identify and eliminate destructive communication patterns that impede connection. This process allows the couple to build new ways of relating that feel safe, respectful, and emotionally connected. Her approach is grounded in both the Gottman Method and trauma-informed care—recognizing how past experiences can shape present-day relationship dynamics. The Gottman Method offers practical, research-based tools to help couples strengthen friendship, trust, and commitment by identifying and eliminating what Dr. John Gottman calls the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse in Communication: Criticism, Contempt, Defensiveness, and Stonewalling (also known as shutting down).
