Couples Therapy in Mahopac, NY
Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and integrated sex therapy approaches for couples ready to do the work.
You and your partner are stuck.
Maybe the same fight keeps happening with different words. Maybe you’ve drifted into roommates, polite but disconnected. Maybe there’s been a betrayal, or one of you wants more intimacy and the other doesn’t, and you don’t know how to talk about it. Maybe you’re getting married and want to start strong.
Whatever brought you here, reaching out as a couple takes courage. Most partners wait years before getting help. By the time they do, they’re exhausted and unsure if change is still possible. It is.
I’m Alan Ivicic, LCSW-R, a licensed clinical social worker with almost two decades of experience working with couples and families in community, government, and private practice mental health. I work exclusively with couples, drawing on the Gottman Method (Level 2 trained) and Emotionally Focused Therapy, with continuing education in EFT and sex therapy.
I believe couples therapy and sex therapy can’t really be separated. The way you communicate in the kitchen shows up in the bedroom, and what’s happening in the bedroom shapes the rest of the relationship. We’ll talk about communication, conflict, connection, and sex as parts of the same conversation.
What I help couples with:
Communication and conflict
Infidelity and rebuilding trust
Premarital counseling
Desire differences and intimacy
Sexual concerns
Disconnection and emotional drift
