Marriage Counseling Therapists in Newton, MA

For over 40 years I have been helping people with their life challenges, their relationships, and their aspirations. My clients say that I am supportive, knowledgeable, and wise. I see therapy as a safe place to think aloud, to get support, to get feedback, and to learn how to change yourself and your situation. I enjoy my work. I enjoy joining my clients in their effort to better their life, and helping them to discover their strengths and overcome obstacles. To learn more about me and my professional experience, and areas of expertise, please go to my website at: www.margliter.com.

I am an experienced therapist, having been in private practice for 20 years after 10 years in the Psychiatry Department at MGH. A good fit is crucial for a pleasant, successful therapy, so developing a flexible, resilient relationship as we start is primary. I am interested, empathetic, and communicative, and sometimes very humorous and fun. I combine psychodynamic and behavioral approaches -- psychodynamic to help people understand why they react, feel, and behave in certain ways, and behavioral to then use that understanding to change automatic reactions, old behaviors and no-longer-useful ways of seeing themselves and connecting to others.

Often life becomes challenging and stressful. You may react in anger, anxiety or depression, all of which, affect your work and relationships. Dr. Melissa Lowe assists in discovering the underlying reasons, helps to reveal conflicting patterns, and helps to transform conflicts into more positive results. This process is life-altering. Dr. Lowe uses insight and meditative or centering techniques to resolve conflict. Clarity, focus and inner peace occurs. Your relationships become more intimate and creativity increases in your work . Daily substance use is not conducive to this work. Call to schedule an appointment.

I am a psychotherapist specializing in relationship counseling. I understand emotional expression, communication, and the neurophysiology of relationships. I will help you better understand your relationship(s), and how to help make it stronger. My style of practice is attachment based. I focus on your experience of good connection and communication. Using a supportive, educational and skills-inclusive approach, I will help you understand your relationship or family dynamics, see your issues more clearly, and improve your ability to feel more secure and empowered in your connections.

I work with clients about their relationship issues. Sometimes this involves problems with partners, parents, siblings, or children and sometimes this is about the relationship a person has with him/her self. The lack of meaningful/successful relationships is often a factor in people seeking therapy. The ensuing symptoms may be in the form of anxiety or depression. I like to meet with the people involved in the relationship problems, although the therapy often starts with a series of solo appointment. I view initial meetings as a consultation to check out the goodness of fit between a person's needs and my professional skills.

You are calling because you want help, relief, and improvement as soon as possible. I have 35 years of experience specializing in individual therapy, marriage /couples counseling, and sex therapy. Using an integrative approach, we will develop a clear articulation of your problem and a clear plan to get more out of life. We will use techniques addressing anxiety, depression, sexual issues, ineffective communication, self-defeating patterns, feelings of hopeless or sadness. You may know what you are feeling, but not the solution. My job is to relieve suffering and enhance your wellbeing and your relationship with others.

All of us have moments when we struggle with difficult relationships and environments. Sometimes we can continue on without addressing these issues and then they come to the forefront in the midst of a life transition like getting married, beginning a family or ending a relationship. Students come to me when they are struggling with challenging higher education systems. I also provide support to couples at all stages of their relationship for concerns including making the leap to commitment, navigating early marriage , transitioning to parenthood and adapting to the changes that are part of family life and long term relationship.

No one is born a parent. Parenting, and especially co-parenting, can be even more challenging when partners disagree, or when larger issues about the marriage or a divorce arise. I help parents understand how to be the best mothers and fathers they can be for their children, and how to work together to support them even under difficult circumstances. I also work directly with couples and families experiencing conflict (together or as individuals), and can provide divorce and family mediation when needed.

I worked with individuals, couples, and families since 1991 in Iran and America. Relationships, especially couple therapy is my focus. A Ph.D. student in couple therapy, I am the world's first Iranian/Muslim Certified EFT Therapist. EFTis a meta-cultural model based on Attachment Theory. Its success rate is up to %90. I am the only Muslim LMFT of MA and the only Iranian LMFT of New England, but I am open to any population.I work with Middle Eastern, Muslims, immigrants, and especially Iranians, but more than half of my clients are out of that population.

People come to see me when they feel stuck and have had enough. I help parents help their children; help couples and families get closer and happier; and in general help people successfully resolve issues such as: stress, anxiety, adjustment to new life circumstances (relocation, family changes), relationship issues (divorce, extra- marital affairs, conflict), and dealing with difficult family members. I work with individuals and families dealing with medical conditions that can be affected by stress (Gastrointestinal issues, pain, sleep disturbances). I also work with people interested in specific skill building such as: stress/anxiety management, assertiveness and dealing with conflict, communication, and more.

I am now accepting new as of 3/20/23. I have more than twenty years experience teaching my clients how to set and achieve goals, learn how to be happier, more resilient and become more relational. I offer individual and premarital and marital counseling. I strive to teach my clients skills that will help them improve their character, resulting in more peace and joy as a result of our work.

I conduct individual, couples and family psychotherapy in both English and Spanish. I specialize in couples and families, addressing problems like depression, anxiety, low self esteem, ADHD and how these issues affect communication and interaction patterns. I help couples learn to communicate their emotional needs and to see each other in a new light. I also work with children in the context of the family and help parents deal with their child's behavioral/emotional problems. I have a great deal of experience in diversity issues, including cultural, gender, and socioeconomic disparities.
