Rediscovering the spark and mutual affection in a relationship can only happen when the space to fully express yourself feels safe and open. In couples therapy with Dr. Steinberg, you will feel safe and discover what your needs are in order to move forward with love and compassion.

Open communication and good intentions lie at the heart of all successful couples.

In therapy you will learn how to talk about difficult feelings without fighting.  Learning how to receive each other’s feelings requires special intention, curiosity and openness.  At first, it is very easy for a couple to feel defensive, hurt or anxious. But under the guidance of a seasoned couples therapist, you will have the opportunity to be heard and understood in a safe environment.

Conflicts can be transformed from potentially explosive and alienating episodes into opportunities for connection, tenderness and understanding.

In couples therapy with Dr. Steinberg you will learn to:

• Be able to disagree without things getting ugly.
• Tap into your ability to ask for what you want, without shame or fear.
• Set limits with your partner from a place of self-love, not fear or anger.
• Listen and support your partner, even when their truth doesn’t match your experience.
• Express appreciation for the goodness your partner does have to offer, even when you feel hurt and disappointed.
• Accept your partner’s feelings of hurt and anger without taking responsibility for them.
• Open your heart to the possibility of repairing your relationship.
• Find the sweetness that fuels love and closeness.
• Be the catalyst for your partner’s emotional evolution within your relationship.
