Couples Therapy/ Marriage Counseling in NJ and NY

Some couples who seek out a couples therapist are in despair – worried that their relationship may be beyond repair. It’s difficult to communicate and solve problems, trust has eroded from a betrayal and the disconnection had led to a lack of sex and intimacy.

Fundamentally strong couples and engaged couples also seek out couples therapy. A couples therapist can be very helpful in helping couples grow through difficult times like a job loss, sickness or death, life transition as in the birth of a baby or reconnecting as empty nesters. Marriage counseling can  help you successfully grow together through all of these life stages.

How do you know when it is time to seek help? When you find yourself going through the same hurtful patterns, with the same conclusions. The longer you wait, the more anger and resentment can build. Come in. We can identify where you struggle and break those patterns before they cause irreversible damage.

Often times, couples wait too long before seeking help. Anger and resentment could be building for years, destroying connection, safety, and love, which needs to be the foundation for the relationship. As soon as couples, married and unmarried, find themselves in patterns that they can’t break, therapy can be extremely helpful. Don’t put off seeking the help of an experienced couples therapist – prioritize your relationship by reaching out.
