Ellen S Leventhal
Marriage and Family Therapist, MEd, MA, LMFT
We all know romantic relationships are hard work. Like cars, they require regular maintenance to keep them running well. If there is a problem, it’s best to have it repaired right away to avoid further complications down the road.
Often we can do some of the basic maintenance and repairs ourselves. Other times, despite our best efforts, we need to rely on a professional to take a look and give us a hand.
It is interesting how easily and quickly we take such steps to repair or prevent damage to our vehicles. But when it comes to our relationships, we often avoid taking action until the situation has become much more serious.
Unfortunately, many couples try couples therapy when a significant amount of damage has already been done. Maladaptive relational patterns have become entrenched, the emotional bond between partners has been severely weakened and there is a high level of resentment due to unresolved past conflicts.

I focus on helping couples to improve their listening and communication skills as well as enhance their ability to compromise and negotiate with each other in their relationship. Increasing trust and intimacy is a primary goal.

Elizabeth Tener
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
There is such satisfaction to be found in one-on-one romantic relationships. Everyone wants a good one! But to achieve a great relationship requires more discipline and self-awareness than many people have. Essentially it's about communication: partners are afraid to speak and afraid to listen, because either way will stir up pain, or cause their partner not to love them. Couples therapy can guide people through that fearful doorway to freedom, aliveness, and the experience that you don't have to be perfect to be loved.
