Difficulties with intimacy are prevalent. People are pessimistic and frightened of marriage. Levels of anxiety, depression, and "pushing away" defense mechanisms are increasing and we tend to seek the emotionally familiar. We fall in love based on our earliest experiences with bonding, or lack of it. Thus, if these feelings are based upon aberrations of bonding, we are constantly drawn to those who cannot bond & connect. If you continually repeat the same mistakes in your life you may be emotionally "stuck" due to these early feelings.

Making the decision to begin therapy is not always an easy one, and the fact that you've begun your search already demonstrates perseverance and motivation to feel well again. My approach to therapy is rooted in relational psychodynamic theory, but I will frequently use a variety of cognitive and behavioral techniques, depending on you and your life story. The most important part of any treatment, however, is the relationship between the therapist and the patient, and therefore it is my ultimate goal to help you feel comfortable and supported in a non-judgmental, warm environment.

Parenting Therapists
What does therapy for parenting look like?
Therapists may work with parents individually, together, or include the whole family to find solutions for the problems a parent faces. Many parent-based therapies work on a parent’s relationship with their children, problem-solving within the family, and analysis of family dynamics. Therapy conducted remotely by video may be helpful in allowing a therapist to observe how families interact in their own homes.
When should a parent seek therapy?
When behavioral problems begin to disrupt the healthy functioning of a family, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If parents find that children are acting out in school, have started using drugs or alcohol, have developed eating disorders, or other similar red flags, a therapist may be able to help.
How long does therapy take for parenting problems?
Depending on the severity of a family’s challenges and the type of treatment utilized, therapy for parenting can last from weeks to months. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a pragmatic therapy type that can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. Structural family therapy, which inspects family dynamics, often takes several months. Parent-child interaction therapy is typically shorter-term, lasting between 10 and 20 sessions. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
Can therapy help parents dealing with burnout or stress?
Parenting is difficult. Parents may dismiss or conceal feelings of exhaustion, overwhelm, or escape ideation—imagining withdrawing from their parental obligations altogether. but left unattended, these feelings can have negative effects on the whole family. A therapist can help parents work on the skills they might need to better cope with the burdens of parenting and help them be the best parents they can be.
