Relationship Counseling in Hoboken

Licensed Psychotherapists
Near Hoboken PATH & Light Rail Station

Finding a counselor can feel like an overwhelming task. A counselor needs to be a good fit with both partners and needs to have an outlook that works for the couple.

Beginning with the first session, both partners need to feel comfortable and emotionally safe enough to explore the difficult issues that bring people to couples counseling. We use an approach which basically assumes that each partner shares in the problem and also in its solution. In this approach there are no victims and no villains. The therapist serves the relationship, rather than as a therapist to either individual, enabling the coaching of each partner to discover new ways of relating, to make it more likely that each one can get his/her emotional needs met in a healthy, sustainable way.

Common problems in relationships include: Excessive disagreements, feeling “stuck” on certain issues that they believe can not be  resolved, or specific concerns such as infidelity.

We help with these difficulties by exploring the emotional foundations of the conflicts, clarifying each person’s perception of the present situation, and exploring influences from the past and, finally by illuminating each individuals goal for the future. We then work to move toward those goals by helping to improve communications, identify ongoing problem areas and build conflict resolution skills.

have and discuss ways we can help you work toward
your goals for happier and healthier relationships.
