Suddenly, it seems like you're not able to talk to your partner anymore. You experience long stretches of time passing where you are avoiding each other, or trying to communicate but keep ending up on separate pages. Are you frustrated with your relationship, but uninterested in talking about what is NOT working? Couples therapy is not just about discussing the problems, but about making things better. It is time to get past the blame, guilt, and helplessness that has sucked all of the love out of your relationship. Instead, let's work together to build the partnership skills that will return you to love and intimacy.

Life is a journey filled with unexpected blessings—and challenges. While we naturally cherish and celebrate the good moments, it’s often the hard ones that leave us feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward. What do you do when your relationship feels rocky? How do you grieve the loss of a loved one or let go of a broken relationship? How do you manage a disrespectful teenager or resolve ongoing workplace stress? How do you shift from feeling isolated and misunderstood to feeling connected and valued? Seeking support in these moments is not a sign of weakness—it’s a sign of strength and courage.

Your mental health doesn’t have to wait. Onsite childcare available for sessions. If you've been putting everyone else's needs before your own, you're not alone. As a therapist and a parent myself, I know how easy it is to keep telling yourself you'll focus on your own mental health "when life slows down." For many of us, that time never seems to come.

Most couples who find their way here have already tried talking it through — and keep ending up in the same place. The problem usually isn't effort or intention. It's that they're missing a framework built on what actually works. I'm a Gottman Method Level 3 practitioner with 15 years teaching communication at NYU Tisch. I work with couples navigating conflict, emotional distance, eroded trust, and affair recovery — and with individuals dealing with anxiety, burnout, and major life transitions.

Men's Issues - Dr. Dean
Psychologist, PsyD, QME, Author
Serves Area
I have been in practice since 2007 and have been featured on ABC, NBC, and KCAL as an expert psychologist. I work primarily with men who have hit “rock bottom” and would like help getting up. These men are often in crisis when we first meet. The issues I address are typically related to unhealthy sexual behaviors, infidelity, broken relationships, drugs/alcohol, dishonesty/lying, financial recklessness, and gambling. My therapy approach is a combination of psychoanalytic, cognitive-behavioral, and the 12-Step recovery model. I also share insight from my own painful but redemptive recovery journey.
