COUPLES THERAPY

In our sessions, we may explore old wounds that affect present connection, create a safe space to talk openly about sex, or practice mindfulness to slow down reactive patterns.

My work with couples combines psychotherapy, mindfulness, somatic experiencing, and the Alexander Technique. These approaches help couples regulate their nervous systems and start to reconnect.

Why Work With a Couples Therapist

Couples counseling in Brooklyn can support you through many challenges, including:

  • Communication problems

  • Intimacy and sexual concerns, such as mismatched desire or pressure

  • Betrayal and broken trust

  • Preparing for marriage or long-term commitment

  • Old trauma or childhood patterns that affect closeness

  • Healing from heartbreak or separation

These struggles are common and nothing to be ashamed of. Reaching out for help is a sign of care for your relationship.

What to Expect in Couples Counseling
Therapy can’t decide the future for you, but it can give you the space and tools to see each other more clearly.

  • First sessions focus on understanding your history and setting goals together

  • Ongoing sessions give you a place to practice new communication and repair strategies

  • Touch and body-based work are always introduced with care and consent, only when both partners feel comfortable

FAQs About Couples Therapy

Do both partners need to attend?
Yes. Therapy works best when you are both present, though brief individual check-ins can help at times.

How long does it take?
Every couple is different. Some couples come for short-term work to resolve a specific problem. Others choose longer-term therapy to strengthen and deepen their relationship.

Is couples therapy only for couples in crisis?
No. Many couples come in simply to improve communication or strengthen closeness before problems grow.

Does therapy help after cheating?
Yes. Healing after betrayal is one of the most common reasons couples begin counseling. Together we work on rebuilding trust and moving forward.
