Relationship and Marriage Counseling
Bryan Leach
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Couples therapy provides a space for you and your partner to explore how each of you is feeling in the relationship, foster a better understanding of one another, and experiment with new ways of communicating. My primary focus in couples work is on the emotions underlying day-to-day interactions and conflicts, as the goal of treatment is not solely to adjust communication patterns, but to increase trust and intimacy by creating a more secure emotional bond. This, in turn, leads to fewer negative interactions. I believe successful couples work is rooted in respecting the validity of each partner's experience. I don't "take sides," but rather serve as a neutral third party who facilitates the development of mutual understanding.

The relationship we share with our partner is one of the most significant and transformative connections in our lives. I’ve had the privilege of helping countless couples navigate the complexities of their relationships. With years of experience in diverse clinical settings, including private practice and hospital environments, I’ve developed a deep understanding of the challenges couples face and the strategies needed to overcome them.

I specialize in creating a supportive space where couples can rebuild trust, foster intimacy, and develop the tools to thrive together.
Through my work, I’ve witnessed how couples therapy can transform relationships—helping partners heal, grow closer, and create a fulfilling and resilient bond. Together, we can navigate the challenges you face, allowing your relationship to flourish in new and meaningful ways.

Loren Soeiro
Psychologist, Ph.D. ABPP
When conversations with your partner turn repetitive, tense, or distant, it’s often a sign that deeper patterns are operating beneath the surface. In couples work, I try to identify these patterns—how each partner responds under stress, how misunderstandings escalate, and what each person is truly seeking. I offer communication strategies designed to give each of you a way to express how you feel (fairly, and without blame). The aim is greater empathy, restored trust, and a more open, comfortable way of relating to each other.

Maria T. Alonso, Ph.D.
Psychologist
As a psychotherapist, I incorporate structural family therapy to work with couples by focusing on the underlying structures and dynamics within their relationship. This approach allows us to identify and address patterns that may be causing conflict or dissatisfaction. I help couples map out their current relational patterns, including boundaries and roles, and work together to reorganize these structures in a way that promotes healthier interactions. Through structured interventions, we explore how these dynamics impact their connection and communication. My goal is to empower couples to establish more effective and balanced ways of relating to one another, enhancing their overall relationship satisfaction and fostering a more supportive and cohesive partnership.

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.

Katherine Rabinowitz
Licensed Psychoanalyst, LP, M.A., NCPsyA
I work with couples who are having trouble negotiating the difficulty of living together and being in a monogamous relationship. Nearly always, a good part of the problem is communication. People can't, don't know how to, or are afraid to communicate their needs and wants with their significant other. They don't understand compromise, or are unwilling to compromise. (It has two meanings, btw.) The sooner you recognize and accept the roadblocks, and come in for help, the more likelihood of a positive outcome. Learning to listen to the other person, accept what they need and work with it is a big part of the work of couples therapy. It's not easy, especially if the couple has been together for a long time. Sometimes it's past the point of no return, and that too needs to be worked through.

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.

Manhattan is one of the most therapist-dense places in the world, with independent practices concentrated on the Upper West Side, in Chelsea, Midtown, and the East Village, serving an extraordinarily high per-capita demand for mental health care. The borough's concentration of finance, media, law, and healthcare professionals generates consistent demand for therapists experienced with high-stakes careers, perfectionism, and the emotional costs of extreme professional ambition. Manhattan also serves as the entry point for many immigrants from Latin America, Southeast Asia, and West Africa, and multilingual therapists make up a significant portion of the local clinical community. Columbia University Irving Medical Center, NYU Langone, and numerous academic training clinics provide institutional anchors and training pipelines for the borough's large private practice ecosystem.
