Is there a relationship therapist near me who can help me?
Are you looking for relationship counseling in New York City, NY? You’re not alone. Whether you’re experiencing issues that could damage your relationship or are just looking to get back on track with your committed partner, thousands of couples are experiencing the same struggles. More reach out for help every day.
Here are the most common issues people in NYC come to us with:
Disagreements often arise between couples regarding what belongs to whom. They also often experience conflict over finances, especially when one partner earns significantly more than the other. This dynamic is typically prevalent in times when a couple is also experiencing struggles in other areas of their relationship.
Division of responsibility is often a trigger point for couples. When partners share a home, couples often disagree over the delegation of tasks in the home and duties to the household. These issues are especially difficult to deal with when a couple has children.
Loss of intimacy is a common reason people seek out couples counseling in New York City. A slowdown in romance isn’t uncommon in long-term, committed relationships. Though it’s normal for things to settle a bit or shift over time, if it causes friction, you should seek couples therapy to help you work through your intimacy issues.
When two partners don’t share the same opinion on the importance of marriage for their futures, it can cause conflict between them. This often happens when one partner feels ready to move forward and the other doesn’t believe that it’s the right time
With guidance and tools provided by Empathi, together you and your partner can work through these and many other issues.
What if couples therapy in New York City hasn't worked for me in the past?
Maybe you’ve seen some type of relationship therapist before and they didn’t provide the guidance you needed. It could be that the therapist didn’t have the right experience or their methods just didn’t help in the way you hoped they would. You’ve come to the right place.
Here's why our approach works

What questions should I ask before beginning couples therapy?
Once you’ve narrowed down your options, schedule a consultation. Have some questions prepared. Interview your potential therapist and base your decision on how they answer.
You’ll want to know the qualifications of the counselor that you’ll be seeing and to make sure they seem like a good fit.
These questions will help you better determine if the therapist is a good option for you:
- How long have you been practicing couples therapy?
- What training/qualifications do you have in couples therapy?
- How long should I expect couples therapy to last?
- What does progress look like?
- What does success look like?
- What are your views on divorce?
It’s important that you stick with counseling once it starts, because you’ll get the best results if you complete the plan. Couples who’ve stayed with therapy until it was complete have better outcomes all around—they enjoy better emotional health, live longer, and many report themselves as being happier than before they started therapy.
Seeking out a quality couples therapist is the best first step in repairing your relationship. An experienced counselor is able to objectively look at your partnership and provide you with the right tools to give you the best outcome.
If the challenges of your relationship are becoming seemingly insurmountable obstacles to you and your partner, now is the best time to take action.
