Relationships
Alan Brandis, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist
Having worked with hundreds of couples over the last 40 years, I have developed a set of beliefs or ideas which, if adopted, help to ensure that a relationship will last. One of the most important is: Arguing helps nothing, so don't do it.
I like to say that I never met the person who started the fight! When two people argue, each of them believes that he or she is merely reacting to something the other one did or said. Neither one believes that they started the fight; but it started somehow, didn't it?
It is better to be close than it is to be “right.”
Blaming each other for the argument is counterproductive. So is trying to change the other person's opinion. Most couples who argue, argue about whose perception is "correct," whose way of doing something is the "right" way, and so on. The only possible outcome of these arguments is that someone will be "right" and someone will be "wrong." Do you know anyone who enjoys being wrong? Most people will fight tooth and nail to avoid being "wrong."
Commitment is the Foundation of the Therapy
Commitment implies that you are in the relationship "come Hell or high water," barring certain behaviors your partner might do such as having an affair (although I have seen a number of relationships recover from those, too). Unless each partner believes that the other one is committed, they will not feel safe to take risks in facing, addressing and working out the real, underlying issues that affect the relationship.

Ayden Ferstenberg
Psychologist, PsyD
Do you and your partner keep having the same argument, even though you've discussed it countless times and understand each other's perspectives? Perhaps one of you pursues conversation while the other withdraws, small disagreements become major ruptures, or resentment and distance have gradually replaced the closeness you once felt. I help couples look beneath the surface of these recurring patterns to understand the emotions, needs, and protective reactions that keep both partners stuck. Alongside developing practical communication and repair skills, we work toward helping you map out the cycles that keep you stuck and creating new relationship dances that bring you the connection, playfulness, and intimacy you want.

Dr. Kelsey George
Counselor/Therapist, PhD, LPC
Depending on the nature of the relationship, the therapist will work with the couple to explore the best route for their relationship. The goal is not necessarily to stay together, the goal is to come to a realization on what the best path is moving forward for both partners.
