A primary focus is serving couples using the research-based Gottman Method Couples Therapy. This method incorporates the Sound Relationship House model to teach skills for use outside the therapy room. Dr. Mills blends this method with her training as a family therapist and developmental psychologist. Couples complete an online assessment before the first session. Sessions begin by discussing the reasons for therapy, goals, relationship history, and concerns. She shares impressions and recommendations to establish mutually agreed-upon treatment goals.

For couples wishing to address pressing issues quickly, she offers intensive therapy options. These include up to 5 hours per day of therapy. The schedule can follow the Gottman Institute timeframe of 15 hours of therapy over 2 to 4 days. This intensive model is designed for efficient resolution and moving toward phasing out of meetings. Follow-up sessions are recommended to ensure gains continue.

Dr. Mills Meehan views psychotherapy as a tool for self-improvement, healing, and cultivating well-being. She empowers motivated individuals, families, and communities to make strides in growth through living in the present and personal accountability.
