Couples Therapy in Brooklyn, NY
A place to heal patterns and rebuild connections
Couples often come to therapy to get “unstuck”, and couples therapy can be a space for growth, connection, and building a stronger bond. Couples may also come to therapy to build upon the strong foundation of their relationship and learn skills to manage conflict, address hurtful patterns of behavior, and deepen their relationship with a new understanding of one another.
What brings people to couples therapy?
Couples therapy can offer a space to slow down and make sense of what’s happening within your relationship to ultimately reconnect. At our practice,we’ll look at the patterns that keep you feeling disconnected, frustrated, or unheard to figure out what's really going on. Whether it’s unspoken resentment, unmet needs, or past hurts that haven’t fully healed, therapy can help you begin to communicate and connect in a new way.

Couples therapy is an investment in one of the most important things in life, your relationship. This process is not about fixing our partners but coming to understand how we get stuck in the first place. When we learn to lead with love, compassion and understanding, we can react and interact differently. We use Relational Therapy from the Ackerman Institute as well as Emotions Focused Therapy to heal old patterns, rebuild connection and reconnect. We also use techniques from the Gottman Method.
