I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist based in New York City, working with individuals, couples, and families who want to move from painful disconnection toward more secure, lasting relationships. My approach is experiential, collaborative, and grounded in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). Drawing on my background as a performing artist and my training in EFT, I help clients slow down, understand the emotional patterns that keep them stuck, and create new ways of relating that foster greater safety, openness, and trust.

I am a Park Slope based psychologist who helps couples with communication, escalating conflict, emotional distance, infidelity, parenting struggles, and the impact of grief and trauma.

The quality of our relationships, both with ourselves and our closest people determines the quality of our lives. You deserve to live a life full of authentic, meaningful connection; a life where you can struggle out loud… where you can express your truest feelings, fears, and hopes to another, and not feel alone. This is exactly what I help couples do – struggle out loud together, so they can connect together. I work with couples across the sexuality spectrum, providing a safe space to explore sexual, relational, and life challenges. As a certified Emotionally Focused Couples Therapist, I support couples in better understanding the negative cycle that has become their enemy and the pain each partner experiences – the goal of our work is to create a closer relationship.

I help couples to recognize and deal with the patterns that get in the way of happy, resilient relationships and to communicate in a way that helps partners to understand each other. When useful, I am happy to work with problems related to sex and lack of desire. I also have a multicultural and multilingual background and can help with culturally influenced misunderstandings and issues, in English, French, Spanish and Portuguese.

My style is compassionate, non judgmental and heart centered. Using EFT, I will help you to understand and change how you and your partner get stuck and repeat certain communication patterns that might leave you feeling disconnected and frustrated. In addition to EFT, I also use Imago Therapy and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (where clinically appropriate) in my couples work along with a deep intuitive sense to identify underlying issues. I have an MA Spiritual Psychology, MA Counseling Psychology, am a certified Imago therapist and have advanced training in Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy.

In my work with couples and individuals, my approach is empathic and nonjudgemental. I aim to provide a positive, affirming and safe space where I can help clients develop and achieve their goals. Together, we work to recognize unhelpful or destructive patterns of relating, and implement positive and meaningful changes which can lead to personal growth and the enrichment of important relationships with others.

My focus is helping clients who seek deeper connection and fulfillment in their relationships, personal life, or career. They may feel stuck, disconnected from their partner, or overwhelmed by emotional challenges. LGBTQ+ couples and individuals often seek support for navigating identity and societal expectations. Clients from the religious communities may struggle with dating, marriage, or balancing tradition with personal goals. Business professionals may face burnout, work-life imbalance, or stress from high-pressure environments. They want a space to feel understood, gain insight, and grow personally and professionally. My approach is grounded in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples and individuals, helping clients build emotional connection, resolve conflicts, and navigate life’s challenges. With a supportive, client-centered approach, I empower clients to strengthen communication, manage stress, and achieve meaningful personal and relational growth. Seeking therapy takes courage, and I aim to create a space where you feel heard and supported. Together, we’ll explore your challenges and work toward the change you desire—whether it’s a healthier relationship, emotional balance, or a greater sense of purpose.

My therapy room is a safe, judgment-free space to unpack everything that is happening in your life. It's a space that honors your experiences and affirms all of the parts that make you, you.

It takes uncommon courage to examine your mind, your relationships, and ultimately your life. In my practice, we create an intentional space rooted in warmth and curiosity. I draw upon a decade of experience as a private yoga and meditation instructor to mindfully guide you to safely explore all of the different parts of you and your relationship. We uncover feelings, patterns, and long-held beliefs in real time. This process leads to deeper understanding of yourself and your partner, and eventually acceptance, action, and healing. I specialize in working with insecure attachment and codependency, dysfunctional families and relational trauma, addiction and substance use disorders (self or loved ones), perfectionism and burnout, chronic stress, anxiety and depression. Even though we are not able to escape relational challenges, we can develop practices to better cope day to day. In this moment, you might feel overwhelmed in your relationship – you need support in making the unmanageable feel manageable. Taking this first step is a great start.

Juggling demanding careers and personal aspirations can make it tough to prioritize your relationship, leading to emotional distance, communication gaps, or feelings of loneliness. If you're looking to rebuild intimacy, restore trust, and reconnect with your partner, therapy can help you navigate these challenges and bring you closer together. My expertise includes guiding partners through infidelity, supporting substance use recovery, and processing trauma affecting your relationship. As a licensed therapist specializing in working with ambitious, career-driven couples, I can help you identify and break free from the negative cycles that keep you feeling stuck.

I'm Carolyn, a therapist passionate about understanding relationships, trauma, and the recurring patterns from our past. We are all wired for connection, and in today’s world—where disconnection is widespread—our need for authentic connection is more essential than ever. This widespread disconnection, stemming from unmet needs to belong, feel safe, be worthy, and have our needs validated and prioritized, can contribute to challenges like anxiety, depression, stress. These are often reasons people seek therapy. I work with individuals, couples, and youth and their families to explore the emotions and needs underneath their struggles to enhance communication and rebuild trust. It takes courage to confront what may be holding you, your partner, or your family back from the change you need. You've come here because you've carried this burden alone for too long. I invite you to a safe space where you can trust your instincts, foster hope, and unlock the possibilities that lie ahead.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with a PhD in psychology and over 20 years of experience working with relationship issues, trauma, anxiety, OCD, depression, gender-affirming care, inflammatory conditions, addiction, and psychosis.

We will explore the cycles that you are stuck in as a couple, and develop a deeper, compassionate understanding of how you got here. I will support and challenge you to grow and heal from this together. My approach to working with couples integrates EFT, Internal Family Systems therapy (parts work) and somatic work. Central to my work as a therapist is an understanding that trauma and stress are experienced within and from oppressive systems; and carried intergenerationally in our minds, bodies and relationships.

I am a Columbia University educated therapist/social worker working with individuals and couples.

I specialize in relationships, whether they are romantic, platonic, familial, professional. I also help clients develop better relationships with themselves.

I bring a trauma informed, strengths-based, and client-centered approach to my work with clients. I believe in your ability to grow, change, and heal even in incredibly difficult circumstances. I create a supportive and validating environment, while also challenging my clients to consider different perspectives. Some sessions may feel free flowing and philosophical–for example, exploring the feasibility of abolition, the impact of diagnosis on identity, or the current political climate. Other sessions, especially EMDR driven sessions, may feel more goal oriented and structured. I often suggest readings to clients, which we process and unpack in session together. I offer concrete coping skills to manage life's challenges and help clients create sustainable changes. Beginning therapy can be intimidating, so be proud of yourself for considering it.

EFT looks at this pattern without blame or judgement to move couples towards more genuine emotional connection and communication.

Together we find the way past conflict, misunderstandings, and emotional drift towards a stronger appreciation and commitment to one another.

I specialize in psychotherapy and assessment with couples, families and individuals along with conducting supervision with trainees and therapists. Taken together, my professional experiences have reinforced my commitment to social justice and working with clients from diverse backgrounds.

I work with a range of relationship units, including romantic couples, friendship pairs, siblings, and adult children and parents. I recognize how difficult it can be to initiate therapy and aim to help all my clients feel seen, heard and understood at every step of the process.

Unlike some traditional talk therapies, I take an active approach to change. Leading with compassion, but never afraid to challenge you, I believe in your ability to shift from a place of fear to one of empowerment. With treatments uniquely tailored to your needs, we can clarify your position in relationships, career, and personal goals so you can live a more successful life. In my work with couples, as a Certified EFT Couples Therapist, my goal is to create an environment in which you truly feel cared for, heard, and important. I believe your relationship has the ability to be deeply secure and satisfying. I want you and your partner to get to the core issues as soon as possible. My goal is to make it so you don't need me; that you and your partner now have the language and ability to catch and recover from conflict on your own. I use all evidence-based practices to help your relationship recover from infidelity, loss of connection, lack of intimacy, and a multitude of other challenges.

I am passionate about working with individuals and couples that are navigating relationship issues, life transitions, sexual challenges, and those looking to understand themselves better. You deserve to live authentically, and therapy is a wonderful place to foster deeper connections with yourself and others. I love working with people from all walks of life, and have specialized experience working with individuals and couples who are LGBTQIA+, all people with uteruses, college students, artists, and relationships practicing non-monogamy. Please feel free to reach out for a free consultation if you think we would be a good fit!

Are you unhappy and feel alone in your relationship or marriage? Are there problems with infidelity? Is there a lack of intimacy in your relationship? Do you feel disconnected from your partner and that your partner does not understand you? I am a couples counselor and have been able to help many relationships that have often been neglected for too long. The approach that I use does not assign blame to either person. I focus on discovering the awareness of the negative cycle that a couple gets into and help to create a positive and more understanding cycle. Goals of Emotionally Focused Therapy: To expand and re-organize key emotional responses and;" the music of the attachment dance". To create a shift in partners' interactional positions and initiate new cycles of interaction. To foster the creation of a secure bond between partners. Member: NASW, Founding Member of NYCEFT

Couples Therapy, Sex Therapy, and Individual Therapy

As a highly experienced clinician committed to many years of post graduate education and training I have found EFT to be the most effective way for couples (straight, LGBTQ, traditional,and non traditional) to repair their relationship,and heal their pain. Couples therapy can address a wide variety of issues including anxiety, depression, sexual problems, infidelity, step-parenting, and retirement. Through therapy couples can build a loving bond feeling more resilient and connected. My work with individuals includes my training in psychodynamic therapy, CBT, (some DBT) and in Coherent Narrative therapy which very effectively combines coherence therapy and a type of narrative therapy helping people get unstuck.

Dr. Catherine Nobile is a licensed clinical psychologist and founder of Nobile Psychology, a group practice specializing in couples and individual therapy. She also holds a clinical position at Northwell Health, where her focus is in expanding access to training and couple's therapy within the veteran, law enforcement, and health worker populations. Dr. Nobile's clinical work centers on couples where one or both partners struggle with emotional overcontrol, obsessionality, or OCD-spectrum presentations, often layered with histories of trauma. This population presents unique challenges within EFT — partners who intellectualize distress, struggle to access or trust their own emotional experience, or whose rigid coping strategies (checking, reassurance-seeking, avoidance, control) function as both individual symptoms and relational patterns that keep couples locked in disconnection. Dr. Nobile has developed clinical tools used across her practice for case conceptualization with complex couples and brings this structured, formulation-driven lens into EFT work — helping couples understand how individual symptoms and relational cycles reinforce one another. Dr. Nobile is a Certified EFCT Therapist and a Supervisor Candidate. She is passionate about EFT training and expanding access to evidence based couples therapy.

Small group practice.

Private practice.

I am a licensed clinical social work with over 20 years of experience. I provide psychotherapy to both individuals and couples. My approach is informed by EFT, psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, relational and mindfulness techniques. In couples therapy, often a relational dynamic that had felt impossible to repair becomes a connection to oneself and one's partner that is more open, accessible, exciting and fulfilling.

What was formed in relationship can be changed in relationship. Do you find that difficult patterns of thought and emotions keep returning and creating challenges in your personal or work life? As a psychotherapist, I offer relationally focused individual, couples, and group sessions — drawing from somatic and mindfulness practices, communication skills, couples counseling, emotionally focused and parts-based approaches, cognitive therapy, and other therapeutic modalities — to raise awareness of such patterns and help awaken the inherent strength and vitality in you to make positive changes in your life. I offer valued support to those who wish to gain greater self-understanding in individual therapy as an adjunct support for their couples therapy sessions with their partner. Together we can discover new pathways for growth.
