Counseling for Relationships
in New York and Florida
The most important relationship you’ll ever have is the one you have with yourself.
When you feel balanced, whole, and truly seen, you can show up more fully in your relationships — with your partner, your children, your family, your friends, and your colleagues.
In therapy, you can:
Discover why old relationship patterns keep repeating despite your best efforts.
Understand how your core beliefs and values shape the choices you make in relationships.
Learn to recognize the difference between genuine care and harmful dynamics such as gaslighting or coercion.
Healthy boundaries are the foundation for healthier, more fulfilling connections. Together, we can work on strengthening your sense of self so you can create relationships built on respect, trust, and authenticity.
“I am so thankful and happy to have Katherine as my therapist. She makes me feel so comfortable and is so easy to talk too. I feel her warmth and kindness through every video session and always look forward to my sessions. Even when I know they are going to be heavy Katherine always gives me great exercises or feedback. I tell all my friends that they need to download better help and they would only be so lucky to also work with Katherine!”
Counseling For Relationships & Boundaries
The Problem:
Do you often feel drained in your relationships or unsure how to speak up for yourself? Are you stuck in toxic dynamics, people-pleasing, or difficulty setting boundaries?
The Intervention:
Therapy offers a safe space to explore your relationship patterns and learn how to protect your emotional well-being. We’ll work on communication skills, boundary-setting, and identifying harmful dynamics (including gaslighting or emotional invalidation) that may be eroding your self-worth.
The Goal:
With guidance, support, and consistent practice, you’ll begin to understand how past relationships and early experiences shaped your sense of self and how you relate to others. As your awareness grows, so will your ability to advocate for your needs and honor your limits. The result is greater emotional clarity, stronger boundaries, and more fulfilling, respectful relationships—beginning with the one you have with yourself
Why Personal Boundaries Matter for Your Well-Being
Do you find yourself always saying “yes” when someone asks for help — even when you’re overwhelmed?
Does your partner make all the decisions, from where to eat to what to watch on TV?
Do you stay in relationships because you’re afraid of how the other person will cope if you leave?
Or maybe a co-worker keeps pushing their responsibilities onto you?
These patterns go by many names:
People-pleasing
Codependency
Being a “push-over”
At the core, they share the same dynamic: putting others’ needs ahead of your own until you feel drained, guilty, and unsure of where you stand. Without boundaries, you may find yourself stuck in relationships and situations that don’t honor your needs or your voice.
The good news? Boundaries are a skill you can learn. Therapy can help you recognize that:
Your opinions and needs matter.
You can say no without being unkind.
Not all relationships will become balanced, but you can choose how you show up in them.
Change takes time and practice, but learning to set boundaries brings freedom. With support, you can move from guilt and overwhelm to confidence and clarity — and create relationships that feel healthier and more authentic..
