Take the first step towards a better relationship.

Welcome. My name is Rabbi Daniel Schonbuch, M.A. and I specialize in working with Orthodox couples who are engaged, newlyweds, or who have been married for years. Most are having difficulties in their relationships and are feeling distant, detached, hurt or misunderstood; while others are having problems in communication and intimacy.

 
Imagine how your relationship was in the beginning. I will help you build on those feelings, so that you can find the love and feelings that you have lost.

90% of couples I see show significant improvement.

As a marriage and family counselor, I have learned that there are many things we can do to help couples with problems. I can teach you how to: improve communication, deal with emotional pain, and anger.

I utilize one of the most successful and scientifically-documented approaches to couples counseling called Emotionally Focused Therapy that creates a sense of safety and allows couples to grow in ways that many never believed possible. Many clients have reported experiencing rapid changes and growth in just a few sessions. 

Together we can figure out what has gone wrong and what it takes to rebuild your relationship. During counseling, we will rekindle the caring, warmth, and love that the two of you once had.

 
I will help you to find answers to difficult problems in your relationship. 

People come in saying “I’ve tried everything and nothing has worked.” During our sessions, they are surprised to find out that there are many things that they weren’t aware of and had never thought of. I provide counseling in an engaging, interactive style that facilitates warm ties with my clients and allows them to feel comfortable exploring their past and taking new steps towards their future.

What if only one person is willing to come for counseling?

When your spouse isn’t willing to come in for help for the relationship, it is even more important for us to talk. By waiting for them to be ready, you are putting the future of the relationship in their hands. If you really want the best chance to save your relationship, you need to learn what you can do.

As you learn to deal more effectively when your spouse won’t join in counseling there are two things that often happen:

First, many spouses notice the change and they respond favorably. They also become more willing to communicate.

Secondly, the other person becomes less defensive, because they see that counseling is actually making a positive difference and very often they are willing to come in for counseling.
