As a cognitive behavioral psychologist, I believe that everyone holds the potential and capability to significantly improve their life. Insight is important in setting the foundation for positive change, but CBT psychotherapy has been proven to be effective in helping people learn to implement the tools necessary to achieve their goals. I treat a wide range of difficulties, but have specialized expertise in relationship issues of all kinds: marital, couples, parent-child, and friendship, for example. I also specialize in many aspects of behavioral medicine. My patients report feeling safe and comfortable working with me in a warm, trusting, professional environment.

American Marriage Center serves a clientele throughout Manhattan and all NYC, and throughout the great New York City area.
Couples, whether married or dating, have issues and problems that arise when communication breaks down. This break down in communication leads to misunderstandings which result in anger, hurt, anxiety, depression, guilt, and feelings of hopelessness. We evaluate each person independently with a high level of professional expertise. For couples, there are times when separate therapy for one of the partners is necessary while marriage counseling continues concurrently. Individual psychotherapy or psychoanalysis is recommended when one of the partners is depressed or anxious and is struggling with their own personal problems.

My focus is on restoring balance and building communication within families as they are integral in increasing the overall well-being of individuals, couples and families. I identify symptoms such as marital discord, addiction, behavioral issues among children and adolescents, mental and medical health issues as becoming an unhelpful part of the family system. My approach to reduce the impact of these symptoms and break harmful patterns is collaborative, encouraging members to be open and honest throughout the progression of therapy.

Marriage Counseling Therapists

How does marriage counseling work?

Marriage counseling works by teaching couples concrete skills to communicate with one another and solve disagreements in healthy ways. A trained mental health professional works with both members of a couple to explore difficulties the couple may be having and helps them develop skills to address these matters. Couples who don’t have any difficulties but want to prepare for marriage may develop skills for the future.

How long does marriage counseling typically last?

Marriage counseling is a short-term form of therapy; the process may last between four and eight sessions. Other forms of relationship guidance from mental health professionals, such as couples therapy, are longer lasting, may focus on the past rather than just the present, and are tailored to the individual couple and their emotions, history, and patterns in the relationship. Couples therapy often lasts for 12 weeks or longer.

Is marriage counseling effective?

Marriage counseling helps many couples develop relationship skills that may not have been acquired or tested in a relationship; partners may be better able to communicate and address conflict following counseling. However, there are many different forms of marriage counseling, and this form of counseling does not have as strong an evidence base as other modalities such as couples therapy.

Is marriage counseling effective if only one partner wants to go?

Yes, marriage counseling can still be effective if one partner convinces the other to engage in the process. Of course, whether counseling is effective depends on the couple’s commitment to work on their relationship; however, the short-term, skills-based nature of marriage counseling makes it a relatively easy “ask” of a partner, and the hesitant individual may see its value once counseling begins.
