Helping Couples in NYC Get their Relationships Back on Track with Targeted Therapy

At times intimacy gets blocked, preventing couples from feeling authentically close to each other. Many things can cause this – from communication difficulties and financial conflicts to control issues and behavioral addictions to infidelity. As a licensed therapist with an office in Manhattan, I help heteros*xual and LGBTQ couples throughout NYC reconnect, move their relationships forward, or amicably end the relationship.

Therapy to help heteros*xual and LGBTQ couples in NYC get their relationships back on track. Learn tools to help negotiate differences, solve problems and better communicate.

Many people become overly consumed with worry about their health or possible medical conditions even when a physician routinely cannot find anything physically wrong.

They constantly check themselves in the mirror, looking for lumps, sores, strange moles and rashes. Or they look for signs of pain or tingling. And they spend countless hours on the internet researching their symptoms.

Does this sound like you?

Therapy to help you conquer your health anxiety and take back control of your life.

New York City, in particular, is an especially anxious place. Think of it—real estate is overpriced, jobs are competitive and stressful, noise levels and construction are over the top, the dating scene is fraught with mishaps and disappointments and intimate relationships can be difficult, just to mention a few triggers to anxiety. Talking to a professional can help reduce anxiety and build self-confidence. https://robertmisaacs.com/anxiety-and-psychotherapy-in-new-york-city/

In psychotherapy and counseling, LGBT persons still voice concerns about fear of discrimination and rejection, increasing the likelihood of anxiety and depression. Many still find coming out issues difficult. More encouraging now is that in psychotherapy there is a definite focus on safety and confidentiality, support in building self-esteem, help in establishing stable relationships and guidance in finding work settings and careers that are meaningful. https://robertmisaacs.com/lgbt-counseling-issues-the-focus-has-shifted/

Gay, le***an, bis*xual, and transgendered have some universal issues in counseling. See how the focus on them has shifted and expanded in counseling.
