Couples Therapy in Brooklyn

Hajizadeh
Ph.D. Psychologist
I am a psychologist with over a decade of experience working with adults who are hoping to regain skills to help maintain a healthy balance between productivity and real happiness. I have dedicated a number of years to formal training in working with couples in distress (Emotionally Focused Therapy and Gottman methods). I am passionate about creating a space where couples reignite their fondness for each other as they learn about emotional patterns and protection mechanisms that may impact their ability to remain vulnerable and open to connection.
Couples Counseling
How couples counseling can be helpful
I am of the strong belief that maintaining a healthy relationship with your romantic partner is one of the most difficult endeavors we face as humans. Human connection and shared intimacy is paramount to an emotionally safe environment, therefore working on our relationship is essential self care.
Life changes can wreak havoc to the health of our relationship without our awareness. A move, a birth, a job, a death, a promotion - all of these life experiences can take a toll on our romantic relationship. Therapy can help re-balance the relationship as we acknowledge the ways each member may have been changed by life circumstances.
Couples therapy can also be helpful when feeling ambivalent or scared about entering a life long commitment. The decision to share your life with one partner can be very anxiety provoking. Therapy can help provide a space where you can speak freely about your fears while you strengthen the bond you have with your partner.
These are only a few examples of scenarios where couples therapy can be fruitful. As with individuals, couples are confronted with unique challenges that deserve full attention.
If you are considering the potential benefits of couples therapy - the only way you will know if it works is by reaching out and making your first appointment.

Please email to set up a time to have a consultation over zoom or on the phone. During the consultation it is best if both members of the couple are present.
