Relationship Therapy NYC
Relationship Counseling in New York
Even the best relationships go through rough patches. Your relationship however has started to feel rough most (if not all) of the time. You need help thinking this out but your usual go to people just can’t be objective about this or are through hearing about this.
It’s not a weakness to ask for help!
In art, the media and IRL relationships you see how difficult it can be to make a partnership work long-term. Our society loves to romanticize tumultuous relationships so you were raised on a steady diet of Disney fairy tales and rom-coms, convincing you that love is supposed to be painful. It. Is. NOT.
Online therapy for adults in NY + NJ
The reality is, all relationships take effort, but it shouldn't feel like a never-ending battle. Maybe it was challenging to feel heard or respected growing up, causing you to mask your true self and your needs. We’re going to start by talking about your boundaries and self-care, then get into what has been coming up in your relationship. To be clear, this is individual therapy where you will be able to discuss what has been happening in your partnership(s), not couples or marital therapy where the two of you attend a session together. I’m here to help you decide what the next best step is for you, how you can be clear and communicative about your needs, and to ensure you’re not settling or being disrespected.
