COUPLES

Couples therapy offers an opportunity to resolve conflict, strengthen, and deepen your relationship with your partner. We offer in-person sessions in our Manhattan office as well as virtually.  The work we do with couples is rooted in Emotionally Focused Therapy, which explores how patterns and attachments appear in relationships, particularly during conflict.

IN PERSON THERAPY

We offer in person appointments for clients who are looking to have a more traditional therapy session in the comfort of a professional office setting.  Our offices provide a pleasant, safe, and private environment and create a holding space for you to grow.  We have locations in Union Square (Manhattan) and Kingston (Hudson Valley). Our offices are outfitted with HEPA grade air purifiers.

TELETHERAPY

We offer telehealth appointments for clients who are looking for a convenient and efficient way to attend therapy. We use a HIPAA secure platform that allows for easy and accessible telehealth sessions from the comfort of your home or office. All you need to do is ensure a private space without any distractions (and your own tissues, if needed).  This service is only available to clients who are physically present in New York State at the time of the appointment.

Meet Our Team

In order for you to make the best use of your therapy, you need to feel respected, safe and supported within the therapeutic relationship. Our highly skilled team offers a warm and interactive approach to their work with clients.

Through discussion, reflection, affective expression, and appropriate laughter, your therapist will collaborate with you to address areas of your life that are not working. We also believe that acknowledging and learning from what’s good in your life can be beneficial for your growth.
