Couples Therapy

Some of life's most stressful moments can occur when a marriage encounters significant challenges. Attempts to work through obstacles and challenges on your own can be frustrating and unsuccessful.

Seeking the help of an experienced couples therapist may be a method for healing some of the wounds we can unintentionally inflict on each other.

Dr. Lefkowits' approach to marriage therapy does not rigidly adhere to any one set of theories or practices. Instead, an eclectic, integrative approach can be tailored for the unique needs and circumstances of a couple.

Some of the issues Dr. Lefkowits has successfully addressed with couples include:

• Infidelity
• Financial problems
• Parenting and family matters
• Communication problems
• Anger management
• Addiction - alcohol/drugs, gambling, pornography
• Blended Families
