Can AI Help Your Relationship?
Most of us are already turning to AI when our relationships hurt — at midnight, after a bad fight, in the moments when no one else is available. That makes sense.

This free guide was developed with clinical input from Kerry Lusignan, MA, LMHC — Certified Gottman Therapist, founder of the Northampton Center for Couples Therapy, and one of New England’s most experienced voices in couples work. It’s designed to be used, not just read.
