Online Counseling in New York & California
our approach to couples therapy
We use a holistic approach to couples therapy, incorporating mindfulness, polyvagal theory, and psychotherapy techniques to help you move beyond the conflicts challenging your relationship, and restore a more secure, trustworthy, and vigorous bond with your partner. By addressing these dimensions, couples can work towards a balanced, fulfilling, and resilient relationship.
Oftentimes, couples enter counseling because they are experiencing a problem in their relationship. While much of the work in therapy involves examining the roots of these problems, it is important that we expand on the elements of your relationship that work, and leave behind what no longer serves you.
healing emotional wounds
Maybe you feel hurt, betrayed, or lack pleasure in your relationship. These wounds can fester, causing pain and distance between you and your partner. Couples therapy provides a structured and supportive environment to address these wounds effectively, helping you to learn how to actively listen, understand, and connect with one another. Couples therapy is not a quick fix; it's a journey of growth and transformation. It's about healing emotional wounds, fostering understanding, and breaking free from harmful cycles. Through this process, you have the space to not only address your current challenges, but also become equipped with the knowledge and skills to navigate future difficulties.
reconnection and rediscovery
In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, the initial spark that brought you and your partner together can sometimes dim. Over time, routine, responsibilities, and external stresses can eclipse the passion and excitement that once defined your relationship. Couples therapy can be your first step in embarking on a journey of rediscovery. It encourages you and your partner to have open and honest dialogue, free from judgment or criticism. We offer you the space to express your desires, dreams, and vulnerabilities, rekindling the emotional intimacy that may have faded over the years. Rediscovery isn't limited to the past; it also involves embracing new adventures - for you and your partner, together.
