Dr. Sarah Rattray, leading Couples Psychologist, is Founder and CEO of the Couples Communication Institute, which is dedicated to helping couples achieve lasting closeness and intimacy through effective communication. For over 30 years she’s helped couples get closer and more connected by strengthening their communication. She’s known for her wise, grounded, caring energy, and for providing clear, practical steps couples can take right away to improve the way they talk with each other.

The Couples Communication Institute now makes Dr. Sarah’s proven methods easily accessible online to help disconnected couples approaching their empty nest to feel close and connected; and assist couples to get on the same page with parenting, health goals, asking for what they need, and discussing areas of disagreement. With the first self-paced online course on the foundations of communication, future courses will dive deeper into communication as well as how to stop fighting, and reconnecting and rekindling your relationship for the next chapter you want to create together.

Dr. Sarah can sometimes see a hummingbird, a bald eagle, Puget Sound, and snow-capped mountains simultaneously from her home north of Seattle where she raised three incredible children. She has a passion for learning about all things Functional Health, and loves to dance Argentine Tango, Blues, West Coast Swing, Salsa, and Fusion when she doesn’t have to social distance.
