Couples Counseling NYC

Do you want to learn the skills necessary for successful relationship? Do you want to enrich your relationship?

Are you in a difficult relationship & want to resolve your conflicts? Would you like to mutually meet your needs?

Would you like to get the love you want? Are you in a relationship you want to keep? Do you yearn for more intimacy and emotional connection?

Making an intimate relationship work is not an easy task. Too often, couples feel frustrated and helpless when their individual concerns clash, and when hurt turns to anger. spiral2grow of New York City provides experienced, supportive, and respectful couples therapists and marriage counselors, who can help you clarify issues and goals, design solutions and work toward achieving them in a gradual way.

Creating an extraordinary relationship takes a commitment to yourself and your partner, a willingness to be a student, and a determination to have the relationship of your dreams. Couples counseling helps identify areas where constructive change may improve couples’ capacity to function better in their relationship. Couples therapy is not just “getting advice,” but learning how to find and implement new solutions and discover greater freedom to make choices you want and to achieve your relationship goals.

Couples therapy or couples counseling is perhaps the most difficult type of therapy to practice and to be in. As a psychotherapist in my practice in New York City, I witness anger, despair, unshakable cycles and habits, loneliness, contempt, aggressiveness, lack of intimacy and sexuality. Unfortunately, many couples come to me way beyond due date. My approach to couples therapy is interdisciplinary, cross-cultural and out of the box. With my unique talent to quickly and profoundly get to the heart of the issue, I understands the broad spectrum of relationships, couple dynamics, and sexuality, while able to provide effective intervention and long lasting change.

Couples counseling and marriage therapy helps solve complex relationship challenges, while developing new relationship skills to build greater harmony. Relationship counseling is designed to teach skills and help couples have a better relationship by facilitating communication, conflict resolution and problem solving in a safe, objective and constructive atmosphere. The goals of couples counseling are to help you communicate effectively, build and maintain trust, and develop a satisfying and fulfilling relationship.
Listed below are common areas for couples in which we specialize.
