Couples Therapy in Williamsburg, Brooklyn
Whether you’re in a long-term partnership, navigating conflict, or seeking deeper intimacy and understanding, couples therapy offers a supportive space to strengthen your relationship and learn new ways of relating.
We work with partners of all configurations — monogamous, consensually non-monogamous, kink-aware, and sex-positive — helping you build skills that support connection, trust, and mutual growth.
Why Couples Come to Therapy
Couples therapy isn’t just for relationships in crisis — it’s a proactive, growth-oriented process that can help you:
Improve communication and learn tools for clear, compassionate dialogue
Resolve persistent conflicts and recurring patterns
Rebuild trust after betrayal or rupture
Strengthen emotional and physical intimacy
Navigate differences in values, parenting, money, or life goals
Deepen connection and mutual understanding
Learn conflict-resolution skills that support long-term health
Many couples find early on that simply having a neutral third party help them see their patterns and practice new ways of relating is profoundly healing, even before deeper issues are fully uncovered.
How We Work Together
Our approach blends practical communication skills with relational and developmental insights, structured around clarity, empathy, and real change:
Communication you can use today:
We focus on skills that lower emotional heat and increase understanding, like active listening, repair attempts, and de-escalation techniques.
Balancing attachment & autonomy:
We honor both partners’ needs and identities while strengthening the sense of “us.”
Sexuality, desire, and intimacy without awkwardness:
We offer gentle, shame-free support for desire discrepancies, arousal concerns, sexual pain, and mismatched libido, aligned with your values and boundaries.
Developmental lens:
We help you understand where your relationship is in its life cycle and tailor goals that feel timely and achievable, not formulaic.
Practical tools & take-homes:
You’ll leave sessions with exercises and insights to practice between meetings — because change happens in life, not just in the room.
What Sessions Look Like
Weekly 60-minute sessions
First 1–2 sessions: Your story, your hurts, what’s worked, what hasn’t
Assessment: Identify strengths, stuck patterns, and nervous-system triggers
Collaborative plan: Shared goals + clear tasks between sessions
Outcomes we aim for: fewer arguments, more emotional safety, deeper connection, and a clear way to repair when either of you misses the mark
Couples who commit to the process often find that they communicate better, handle conflict more constructively, and feel closer and more understood over time — even when difficult histories are present.
