Jason Powell
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CST
I help couples move beyond patterns of conflict, distance, and disconnection to rebuild trust and create lasting intimacy. Drawing on evidence-based approaches, I guide partners in strengthening communication, repairing after breaches of trust, and navigating the complexities of desire and closeness.
Whether you are recovering from infidelity, struggling with intimacy challenges, or simply feeling like you’ve lost your way together, therapy provides a space to understand each other more deeply and create healthier, more supportive ways of relating. My goal is to help you and your partner not just repair what feels broken, but build a relationship that feels resilient, connected, and fulfilling.

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.

Counselor/Therapist
Healthy relationships require communication, trust, and mutual care—qualities that can be rebuilt with time and effort.

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.

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.

James Foley Sexual Misbehavior, Infidelity , Expert 31 Years Experience
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-R, SOTS,
Infidelity by a partner is caused by one persons issues, not the couples issues, and the distorted thinking and self destructive behavior by that one partner is corrected by fixing that one members distorted views, and thus eliminating that self destructive behavior from that person.
I am an absolute expert at correcting the distorted thoughts and perceptions that create infidelity. I have been doing it for 25 years, as part of my full time practice in one specific area, sexual misbehavior.
I have vast experience in both men who cheat in the classic find a unpaid partner, and I am also extensively experienced in cases where the man uses paid services to act out sexually.

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.

Daniel Pagano
Licensed Psychoanalyst, PhD, LP, SCC
Relationships surface unconscious patterns and wounds through projection. By exploring your shadow elements, we turn conflict into profound mutual understanding. This spiritual work shifts you from reactivity to conscious, soulful connection. We see your relationship as a sacred alchemical vessel. Using a Jungian lens, we examine underlying myths and archetypes, framing crises as growth opportunities to restore the sacredness of your bond. True partnership is mutual individuation, supporting each other's spiritual unfolding. We identify and clear unconscious contracts and ancestral patterns stifling intimacy, making your marriage a sanctuary for personal healing and shared evolution.

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.
