Marriage and Family Therapy is a large area of focus and represents the majority of the clients seen at the practice, though this extends far beyond the setting of couples and families. We also treat individuals who find themselves having difficulties in interpersonal relationships. This often includes difficulties in dating, and relationships with friends, family members, or coworkers.
In addition to purely relationally-based issues Manhattan Relationship Counseling and Psychotherapy also treats mental health concerns using a variety of evidence-based practices tailored to the specific needs of the individual. Our clinicians are highly skilled in treating an array of issues including (but not limited to) Anxiety, Depression, Traumatic events and PTSD, Substance abuse and other addictive behaviors, Bereavement and loss, Attention Deficit Disorder (ADHD), Conduct and Oppositional Disorder, and other childhood-related disorder.
This practice specializes in the systemic treatment of couples and families through psychotherapy. We couples and families in all forms, including married couples, couples who are dating, cohabitating, or interested in premarital counseling. Many clinicians have specialized training in treating populations such as LGBT couples, non-monogamous, and separated or divorcing couples. We understand that families come in many forms. Our clinicians are experienced in working nuclear as well as blended families, in addition we have experience in working with families going through grief and loss, separation or divorce, adjustment to coparenting and other transitions; substance abuse, domestic/intimate partner violence, and other issues.
We understand that circumstances sometimes require alternative forms of treatment. Our clinicians are able to offer psychotherapy services via Telehealth to individuals, couples, and families who maintain a residence in states where our clinicians are licensed.
