Our Integrative Approach
We believe that no single method holds all the answers—so our approach blends the best of several transformative frameworks. Drawing from Nonviolent Communication, attachment theory, trauma-informed practices, the Gottman Institute’s relationship science, and John Gray’s gender insights, we offer a holistic experience tailored to your unique needs. Each session weaves these approaches together to support deep healing, authentic connection, and lasting growth
Nonviolent Communication (NVC) is a powerful framework developed by psychologist Dr. Marshall Rosenberg. It was created to explore how language can either contribute to conflict or foster peace and understanding in our relationships.
The Gottman Institute Method is a form of Couples Therapy based on 40 years of research and observation of more than 3000 couples.
Gender Intelligence: Understanding and honoring the emotional and psychological differences between people, especially across gender lines.
Trauma-informed practice is a compassionate approach that explores childhood experiences and unconscious patterns and/or attachment styles to foster empathy and honour each individual’s unique journey of healing.
🌱 Our Mission
CAER exists to support individuals, families, and organizations in cultivating authentic and empathetic relationships. We offer a safe and inclusive space where people can learn, practice, and embody the principles of Nonviolent Communication.

Whether you’re navigating a challenging relationship, seeking to improve family dynamics, or simply wanting to connect more deeply with yourself and others, CAER provides tools and guidance to help you grow.
