Marriage counseling on Long Island.
Serious, evidence-based marriage counseling and couples therapy for Long Island couples — in person in Garden City, telehealth across Nassau and Suffolk County. Erica is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy.
The Long Island picture
The marriage keeps losing to the calendar.
The couples we see on Long Island tend to look like this: two capable partners, two demanding jobs, kids and commutes swallowing the week, and a marriage that quietly stopped being the priority somewhere around year seven. Most aren't in crisis. Most just haven't felt like a team in a long time.
Marriage counseling here isn't about assigning blame or relitigating the last argument. It's about naming the cycle you're both stuck in, understanding the fears driving each of you, and rebuilding the emotional safety that makes closeness possible again.
We work primarily in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), the most research-backed model in couples work, integrated with attachment theory and somatic tools. Structured, active, and paced — not open-ended venting.
What Long Island couples come in for
- The same argument on repeat
- Slow drift after kids

In their words
What Long Island couples say.
"We came in barely speaking and left actually liking each other again. Erica made the conversations we'd been avoiding for years finally possible."
"After eighteen years and two kids, we'd quietly become roommates. Erica helped us remember why we chose each other — and gave us a way back."
"I came in for couples therapy and accidentally got my life back too. The work Erica does is the rare kind that actually lasts."
"We didn't know if we wanted to stay together. Five discernment sessions later, we did — with more clarity than we'd had in years."
"After the affair, I genuinely didn't think we'd survive it. The work was slow and honest. A year in, we are actually closer than before."
"Intimacy had quietly disappeared. Erica gave us a way to talk about it without it becoming a fight — and slowly, we found each other again."
