Infidelity Therapists in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, NY

Are you struggling with your marriage or relationships? Are you facing communication challenges, power struggle and conflict? Are you facing infidelity or trust issue and wonder how to you can overcome the betrayal ? Are you hurt, angry, confused, or frustrated... but yet willing to work it out and save your marriage? Life and relationship don't have to be this hard. For over 15 years I've helped individuals and couples create solid, and fulfilling relationships. If you experience difficulties and vicious dynamics or challenged by "negative" emotions, I can help you learn the necessary skill to overcome those hurdles.

I help couples use their love relationships to develop and maintain emotional safety and intimacy while working on their relationship issues. I help couples gain understanding of their relationship agendas stemming from unhealed childhood emotional wounds. Couples design caring behaviors (words, gestures, timing) for emotional healing. In counseling, I help couples to talk to each other one-at-a-time, many report feeling heard for the first time in their lives. Emotionally safe transactions lead couples toward greater fulfillment, intimacy, trust, and friendship. Asking for specific caring and behaviors is the responsibility of both partners.

I have been practicing for over 28 years as a couples, family and individual therapist, for children, adolescents and adults. My areas of specialty include relationships, how to manage conflicts, parenting teens, how to maintain intimacy and co-parent effectively, including the difficulties of dating, infidelity , divorce, sex and finances. Individual problems include depression, anxiety, panic attacks, history of trauma, infertility, and other personal issues. Early career work supervising therapists in a court based crisis unit led me to many decades of work with NYC teens and their families.

Sex and relationships play a vital role in our everyday life so let’s work together to achieve your individual goals and relationship satisfaction. I am dedicated and passionate about guiding individuals and couples through issues related to sex, sexual dysfunctions, sexuality, and relationships. My treatment specialization focuses on communication (e.g., conflict management, understanding perspectives and reciprocity, trust and infidelity ), intimacy and sexual functioning (e.g., desire, arousal, orgasm, painful intercourse, erectile dysfunction), gender diversity concerns, and marital and premarital counseling.

I am a AASECT Certified Sex Therapist (CST). I will work with you wherever you are at in your life and customize my clinical techniques to meet your needs. I specialize in sex and sexuality, but offer therapy in many other areas. In addition, because a sex therapist such as myself is knowledgeable about alternative lifestyles, identities and gender expressions, some find that sessions with a sex therapist can be helpful in resolving issues unrelated to their sexuality. I earned my Master's degree in Clinical Social Work from Hunter College in Manhattan. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and cocreator of Wise Sex Therapy Assoc.

Self awareness and connection can heal. My practice is a place where we can build safety and vulnerability, and work together to help you better understand yourself. Therapy is not always easy, but here you can regain a sense of control and create momentum.

I specialize in working with individuals and couples looking to explore issues related to relationships, sex and sexuality. Often times shame, guilt, anxiety and sadness are the core emotions at the center of our distress. Together we can work towards facing some of these feelings in order to lead you towards a path of healing and empowerment. In understanding yourself and your needs better I hope you can begin to feel more confident in making decisions, letting go of the things you may have been holding onto, or feeling more connected to yourself and others.

New daytime openings as of 1/6/23 - I'm passionate about working with young adults, teens, women, and people exploring their gender and sexual identities. I specialize in trauma and the many ways the brain and body adapt to it. Many of my clients experience anxiety, OCD, difficulties in relationships, low self-esteem, life transitions, and are members of the LGBTQ+ community. I will see you as a whole person - complex, evolving, and inherently worthy. Together, we'll create a safe space for you to connect with your inner resilience and continue moving towards what matters most, regardless of fear and uncertainty.

At times in life, we find ourselves overwhelmed; in states of persistent mental or emotional distress, stuck in patterns that no longer serve us, and questioning which path best serves us. With greater consciousness of our patterns of thought, feeling and behavior, we can develop the capacity to meet these moments with the wisdom of our whole selves. By connecting more fully to our emotions, we can access our innate healing process and move towards greater integration. In honoring your unique story, we can explore how life’s suffering may be pointing you towards greater wholeness and a life of meaning.

This has been a particularly difficult few years. Even as we are trying to do our best day to day, we may still need extra support. Therapy is a safe space where we can identify, examine, and start to shift our thoughts, feelings, and patterns in order to create more joy and well-being. As a social worker, I believe that life challenges typically do not begin within people, but are often a mismatch between strengths, our environments, and the things we've experienced in the past. My goal is to help sort things out and start to recognize and shift patterns that cause us pain.

William provides short and long-term therapy to adolescents, adults, and couples. He enjoys helping clients navigate challenges with emotional regulation, anxiety, depression, sex and sexual identity, recent or resurfacing trauma, and life transitions. He has experience working with clients around issues of intimate/relational aggression and other forms of acting out, as well as sexual and non-sexual trauma, internalized stigma, and pressured masculinity. His approach to therapy emphasizes the therapeutic relationship as the main vessel for growth and healing.

As a therapist, I strive to create an environment that is conducive to exploration without fear of judgment for both individuals and couples. We’re often isolated in our hurt, and more so when shame is present. The experience of struggle is something we all face, but the choice to face it and exist with our vulnerability is where our innate strength and capacity to thrive emerges.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with experience providing short and long-term therapy to adolescents, adults, and couples. I specialize in working with depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and issues related to gender, sexuality, and identity. I spent six of my first ten years of clinical experience in college counseling centers and particularly enjoy working with undergraduate and graduate students as they navigate this unique and challenging time in their lives.

Are you noticing that past pain may not feel as distant as you would like? I work with folks navigate stressors and responsibilities they are expected to keep up with, while managing past pains to relearn safety on their current path. I treat the person as a whole- meaning I also take into account your environmental, circumstantial, and physical self and how that impacts your mental health. I work with adults whose past pains are inhibiting present fulfillment within their relationships and quality of life. Anxiety, unfulfilling relationships, mistrust of happiness and feelings of depression are some of the symptoms I help you heal.

My approach to therapy is guided by the firm belief that the strength of the therapist-client relationship is the most important element of successful treatment. I see productive and rewarding work as emanating from a dynamic collaboration between myself and my clients. My goal is to help every client live a life that is more fulfilling. I am warm and direct and I provide a safe and supportive environment, helping clients to access their strengths, express a wide range of thoughts and feelings, and continually move toward greater self-discovery.

My clinical approach is rooted in the therapeutic relationship. Empathy, validation, and the provision of a safe environment are essential aspects of a positive healing alliance. It will become easier to make more satisfying choices by gaining a fuller understanding of yourself. Together, we can develop an approach that feels comfortable and help you find greater fulfillment in your life.

My goal is to help people understand and trust themselves - to find mental and emotional clarity within ingrained "shoulds" and "musts". I have a particular interest in working with individuals who feel sexually stuck and those seeking to develop intimacy. However, people work with me for many reasons. You may be approaching therapy to process painful experiences or to deepen your relationship with yourself/others. You may be navigating a transition or trying to understand a pattern in your life. Many people don't know where they want to start, just that they're feeling unsettled or unsatisfied.
