Couples Therapy in New York City

Results-focused therapy for couples seeking insight, growth, and true connection.

You feel like you and your partner have one foot in and one foot out of the relationship.

You know something has to change dramatically in order for you to stay together, but you’re not sure what more you can do.

You wanted commitment, a partnership, and a long-term support system. Instead, the thoughts that run through your mind sound a lot more like:

  • “Do I have what it takes to be in a healthy relationship?”

  • “Can I ever get it right? Don’t they see how hard I’m trying?”

  • “Am I too much? Am I not enough?”

  • “Is this my fault? What am I doing wrong?”

  • “Is it too late?”

  • “Am I even worth being in a relationship with?”

  • “I never thought I would feel so lost, hurt, and alone inside of a relationship.”

Communication is a struggle and you find yourselves fighting frequently, rehashing the same arguments that leave you wondering if your relationship is beyond saving. You find yourselves reacting emotionally, either avoiding the conflict altogether or putting up more walls between you.

You want so badly to make your partner happy but after enough of these repeat experiences, it’s natural you start to feel defeated. When things escalate in this way, you feel further and further from each other. It sometimes feels like it would just be easier to leave, but you still love them. The last thing you want to do is give up, but you don’t know who to talk to anymore. Family and friends want to support you but they don’t really get how things can be so good and then so bad.

You need someone to talk to, but you know that your family and friends all have their own lives and don’t always have the advice you need or are looking for.

THAT’S WHERE WE COME IN.

SOUND FAMILIAR?

The spark has faded.

Fun and easy conversations are replaced by arguments that escalate quickly. You fall into a predictable pattern: anger, defensiveness, shutting down. Both of you are left feeling stressed, anxious, and unheard.

Communication feels like a minefield. Attempts to express yourselves lead to frustration. Your partner reacts poorly, and the cycle starts again. Defeated and disconnected, thoughts of incompatibility creep in. Thoughts that sound like, “maybe we’re just not right for each other” or “there’s nothing I can do because nothing ever changes…”

Doubt creeps in.

The distance between you feels vast, a chasm filled with arguments, misunderstandings, and a constant undercurrent of criticism - even contempt. Every interaction feels like a runaway train, careening toward another inevitable crash.

Loneliness lingers. You yearn for real conversations, laughter, and the spark that seems to have vanished. Romance feels forced, like a chore you have to tick off your to-do list.

This isn’t what you expected love to feel like.

You never envisioned this disconnect. Happiness feels like a distant memory, replaced by awkward silences with someone who is starting to feel like a roommate. This isn’t what you signed up for.

Despite genuine care, something is missing. You yearn for closeness and understanding, but those feelings seem out of reach. You don’t know how to bridge the emotional gap, and now the strain on your relationship has begun to bleed into other areas of your life.
