Dr. Jinashree Rajendrakumar (PhD)

Ms Jinashree is the first certified Gottman Couple Therapist (Gottman Institute, Seattle) in India. She believes that every couple has an innate ability for happiness and with few skills can reach that potential. All relationships, even the most successful ones, have conflict. Conflict is natural and has functional aspects that provide opportunities for growth. Research shows that it is not the appearance of conflict, but rather how it is managed that predicts the success or failure of a relationship. If conflicts are not well-managed couples risk hostility or emotional disengagement in the long run. To manage conflict, love is not enough and insights are insufficient. What is needed is skill-building in the couples so that they can translate the desired ideals of conflict management into daily practices.She is a Gottman Couple Therapist certified in Treating Affairs and Traumas.
