If emotions often get in the way of constructive conversations, a focus on emotional regulation will be helpful in navigating ‘hot button’ topics. Cognitive based couples therapy involves not only emotional regulation interventions but also facilitates healthy communication and problem-solving with an emphasis on interventions that promote the development of greater mutual acceptance, especially surrounding repeating patterns of interaction and partner characteristics that can be difficult. At NYNS, couple's therapy is action-based and goal-directed and serves to provide the safe space needed to develop and strengthen and constructive habits for a healthier relationship.
