By Hannah Mirmiran, LICSW, LIMHP, CGP Ah, New Year’s Day—that day when all of us set incredibly high, unrealistic goals to achieve better us’s only to abandon those aspirations just shortly after we’ve gotten the hang of writing the correct year on our checks.

Loss is everywhere. It feels like every other day I turn on the television I’m hearing about another mass shooting. We’ve almost become numb to the reality of violence in this world.

We define the treatment path in couples therapy after patiently listening and carefully understanding the problems couple is facing. Our practical and scientific approach, while balancing and weighing the emotions at stake, helps us bring in the much needed transparency and attachment among the partners. It definitively helps in doing the right thing, and taking […]
