COUPLES THERAPY IN NYC
Improve communication & restore intimacy.
You love each other, but things feel hard right now.
We know that even good relationships can get stuck in unhealthy patterns.
Do you find that when you are trying to connect with your partner you end up in a cycle of communication that’s not helpful or productive? Do you retreat and stuff it down until next time? There is always next time… Maybe this time they will understand…we become louder in hopes they see how to hurt we are. Oh, they see it, but they just get more defensive. The more we aren’t seen and heard the more resentful we become. The explosions become more significant and the intimacy ceases, now you are just resentful roommates.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
When emotional responsiveness and affection decrease, conflicts elevate and connection eventually ruptures. During our time together you will begin to recognize that the conflict and outbursts are actually a cry for love and connection. In time you will learn how to ask for what you need so your partner can receive it.
We’re here to help you recognize the patterns that have led to the defensiveness and fighting, during our time together you will develop better ways of communicating and relating to each other. Perhaps, for the first time, you will feel honestly heard and understood. Our counseling sessions will provide a safe, supportive space where we can talk about sensitive issues including infidelity and sexuality. We advocate for the LGBTQAI2S+ community, sex and kink affirming, we see all couples regardless of each partner’s sexual orientation or gender identity.
You’re tired of feeling caught in this cycle:
We will go deep, and connect your past to your current relationship challenges.
We help you to improve your communication and listening skills.
You will discover your own unique needs and expressions of love.
how i can help
Couples therapy can help you connect deeply with your Love.
We use EFT - Emotionally Focused Therapy in our couple’s work. One of the goals of EFT is to change the way we ask our partners for something. Instead of “Why do you have to work all the time?!” You will learn to dig deep and express what you are really feeling, “ When you work so much, I feel really disconnected from you, it makes me feel unimportant and lonely.” The first question is at risk of making your partner feel defensive, but the second statement can evoke your partner to feel empathy and compassion toward you.
Communicating from a vulnerable place instead of a blaming protective place allows our partner to move towards us.
