Mr. Joshua Nelson

Trained at Princeton University and the Ackerman Institute for Family Therapy, I have over 20 years experience helping couples to get closer to each other. In my experience, a good relationship or marriage largely depends on good communication. I have found that good communication in turn depends mostly on the honest and open expression of feelings. In the couples therapy that I do, I help you to identify and express how you are feeling toward your partner. I believe that once you identify and express those feelings you can then do something about them.

Couples typically get into a "dance" with each other. The purpose of my therapy is to identify the pattern that you get into and help you find ways to change your part in it. My sessions last at least an hour. I meet with you both together and individually throughout the therapy.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), and Clinical Member of the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (AAMFT).
