Couples Therapy

Couples Therapy in Chelsea & Herald Square, NYC

Many couples find themselves experiencing repetitive conflicts, and feeling stuck despite their best efforts to make changes. You might feel as if you’re having the same conversation over and over again, or struggling to have difficult but important discussions together.

If you feel worried about your relationship or stuck in conflict, couples therapy can help you to find a way forward. Couples often begin to feel more hopeful after a few meetings, and many find that working through their difficulties in couples therapy leads to a closer and more fulfilling relationship.

Issues I commonly help with include:

• Communication difficulties
• Emotional connection
• Infidelity and betrayal recovery
• Repetitive arguments
• Addiction and out-of-control behaviors
• Challenges around adapting to life changes

How I Work

As a couples therapist, I look at how issues exist between people rather than within one individual, and ensure that each person is thoughtfully listened to.

Three areas I often look at are your personal histories and their impact; the history of the relationship and other important contexts; and how you communicate together, offering active feedback to help you find new ways of relating to one another. In a process we undertake together, I assist you in exploring what changes each person can make to achieve meaningful change in the relationship and more closeness and satisfaction.

In our first consultation, we’ll begin to get to know one another and to talk about your concerns and hopes. I aim to make the discussion useful to you, and for you to feel able to express yourself freely. After our first meeting, we’ll discuss how to move forward in the service of your goals; I typically recommend weekly meetings to make and sustain progress. We’ll work together to meet your goals, and for you and your partner to feel ready to continue without my assistance.
