Jonathan Schnapp
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
You don’t have to be in couples therapy to work on your relationship. Many people come to individual therapy to better understand patterns that show up with partners—communication struggles, conflict cycles, attachment dynamics, or questions about staying or leaving. Together, we’ll explore your experience of the relationship, including what feels stuck or unsatisfying, and look at how your history, expectations, and emotional responses shape these dynamics. The goal isn’t to assign blame, but to develop greater clarity, flexibility, and agency in how you relate—so you can make more intentional choices about your relationship and your role within it.

Zaray Dratch
Pre-Licensed Professional, MFT-LP
Most couples wait too long. By the time they get to therapy, the distance has been building for years, the same fights have cycled through hundreds of times, and at least one person has started to wonder if anything can actually change. If that's where you are, you're not too late, but you don't have to keep waiting either.
Relationship and marriage counseling here isn't about keeping score or figuring out who's right. It's about understanding the patterns that keep pulling you both back to the same place, and building something different. That might mean learning how to fight better, how to repair after rupture, how to talk about the things you've been avoiding, or how to reconnect physically and emotionally after a long drift.
Some couples come in crisis. Some come because they want to get ahead of the slow erosion before it becomes something harder to fix. Both are valid reasons to be here. What matters is that you're both willing to look honestly at what's happening and do something about it.

Christina Duncan
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Relationships can feel overwhelming when communication breaks down or patterns keep repeating. I offer a supportive, nonjudgmental space to help couples slow down, better understand one another, and rebuild connection. Using evidence-based practices like CBT, ACT, and family systems work, I help partners improve communication, manage emotional reactivity, and create healthier, more secure relationships. I have experience working with couples navigating anxiety, ADHD, autism, and life transitions, and I bring a warm, flexible approach to each session. Together, we’ll work toward greater clarity, trust, and connection.

Whether you are looking to heal from a betrayal, deepen your emotional and physical intimacy, or simply learn how to navigate disagreements as a team, we will work together to rebuild a resilient, loving foundation.

New York Pathways
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LMSW, CSAT
New York Pathways guides couples in a process called relationship restoration. Couples arriving to New York Pathways have often lost trust and the ability to effectively communicate. Utilizing a conjoint therapy process, each partner is assigned a therapist to work with on their own individual treatment plan. Partners are also given a combined treatment plan geared towards restoring hope, trust, and intimacy in the relationship.
The relationship restoration process typically takes 6 months to a year. The couples will work together to understand the impact of sexual addiction and compulsive sexual behavior and establish clear boundaries for the future. The process will lead up to developing accountability and emotional restitution.

Dr. Ingrid Solano
Psychologist, PhD
I have over a decade of expertise in conceptualizing and treating struggling interpersonal and intimate relationships. Through a honed lens of social constructionism, I focus on understanding and meeting the unique needs, meanings, and values of each relationship. Every relationship is unlike any other. This stance promotes authentic curiosity and explores how we make meaning together. Meaning and action are closely interwoven in our relationships, and each member of the relational context influences the culture and landscape of the interpersonal experiences within. In therapy, we collaborate in creating a new way of relating that allows the rediscovery of empathy for each other in these contexts, and resolves troubling patterns of communication and differences in expectations that negatively impact understanding, connection, and value...
I believe relationships and context matter. Research shows that relationship distress causes problems in mental health, work, children, and even your own physical health. Yet, healthy relationships protect you from stress and help you thrive.
I believe in using relationship therapy that works. I practice evidence-based therapy, which means I use therapeutic practices that have been studied and supported by empirical research studies.
I work with clients to improve their interpersonal functioning both within relational contexts (i.e., couples, families), as well as with individuals who would like to focus on their past, present, and future interpersonal interactions. Clients explore the relational impacts of experiences such as rejection sensitivity, feelings of codependency, attachment concerns, life transitions, divorce, trust, shame, self-esteem, assertiveness, and the impact of dating in the digital-age (i.e., feeling ignored, insecure, ghosting, text communications).
Unfortunately, most people don't have access to effective help for their relationships nor have they been taught what healthy relationships and communication look like. Because of this, I also prioritize increasing access to couple therapy by offering telehealth, evening and weekend scheduling, and lower-cost options that are tailored to Client needs and resources.
I strive to understand your goals, help you communicate and form these goals explicitly, and reach them effectively. I have worked with couples, families, parents, Veterans, adolescents, and individuals on strengthening their relationships and interpersonal skills. I have expertise in working with LGBTQIA+ relationships, sex therapy, and increasing physical and emotional intimacy between partners who seek nonjudgmental therapeutic space and openness to non-traditional relationships (i.e., polyamory, open relationships, play partners, swingers, friends with benefits (FWBs), BDSM etc.). I work with couples/relationships and individuals addressing pornography consumption, kink, and all manner of consensual play. (See additional relational competencies in the ‘diversity’ sections and relationship based ‘services.’) I often employ a mixture of Integrative Behavioral Couples Therapy and Emotion Focused Couples Therapy when working with intimate partners. I have an extensive background in Family Systems modalities as well, including Gottman Method, Structural Family Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Family Systems, and others.
There are several forms of relational therapy you can engage in:
Couple Therapy and Therapy with Romantic Partners
Family Therapy
Therapy for Friends or Coworkers
Relationship Therapy for Individuals (just you!)
Relationship Education
Relationship Coaching (for just you or you and your partner(s))
Premarital Coaching
