WHO COMES HERE
You don't have to explain yourself
to be understood here
Most people arrive carrying something they haven't been able to fully say out loud — about their relationship, their past, their desires, or the patterns they can't seem to break on their own.
​
This is a space where those conversations can happen honestly, without judgment, and with a clinician who has the training to actually help.
•
Couples feeling stuck, disconnected, or in crisis
The same arguments. The same distance. A loss of something you can't quite name.
•
Betrayal, infidelity & trust rupture
Working through the aftermath — with honesty, structure, and a clear path forward.
•
Sex & intimacy challenges
Desire differences, avoidance, shame, or sexual concerns — spoken about openly.
•
Trauma affecting life & relationships
Complex trauma, C-PTSD, and the ways the past shapes the present — including in the body.
•
Addictive & compulsive patterns
Understood in their emotional context — with curiosity, not judgment.
•
Religious couples
With real sensitivity to observant life, halachic frameworks, and community pressures.
•
Pre-Marital Counseling
Couples looking to start off their married life on the right foot.
Areas of Expertise
What we work on together
01
04
Couples Therapy
Addictive Behaviors
Rebuilding communication, trust, and emotional intimacy using EFT, Gottman Method, and the Developmental Model — for couples at any stage, including those questioning whether to stay.
Learn more.
A trauma-informed lens on addiction and compulsive patterns — understanding what's underneath the behavior, not just the behavior itself, including addiction's impact on couple relationships.
Learn more.
02
Sex & Intimacy
Desire discrepancy, sexual dysfunction, intimacy avoidance, shame, and pornography use — with clinical expertise and without the discomfort that causes most therapists to sidestep these conversations.
Learn more.
03
Trauma
Complex trauma, C-PTSD, betrayal trauma, and infidelity — using EMDR, somatic and Reichian approaches, IFS, and body-centered methods that reach what talk therapy alone cannot.
Learn more.
"Real change in relationships rarely comes from learning new communication scripts. It comes from understanding the deeper patterns — emotional, relational, historical — that are quietly running the show."
— Noson Berman, MFT, LCPC

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
Advanced training through ICEEFT and an externship with Dr. Sue Johnson — one of the most rigorously researched approaches for transforming couple relationships.

Advanced couples training through The Couples Institute with Drs. Ellyn Bader & Peter Pearson. A growth-oriented model focused on differentiation, intimacy, and lasting relational change.

ABOUT THE PRACTICE
Two decades of following
the work wherever it led
Starting in 2000 with at-risk youth in Queens, NY and following the evidence through couples work, sex therapy, and advanced trauma training — Noson's expertise wasn't assembled. It was earned, one training and one client at a time.
