Relational Intelligence

Dating & Attachment Therapy

Navigating the New York dating scene—especially in the digital "app" culture—requires more than social skill; it requires emotional resilience. For many high-achieving professionals, dating can become a secondary source of burnout, producing fatigue, frustration, and repetitive patterns that keep connections from deepening.

In therapy, we go beyond surface-level dating advice. We explore the psychological architecture behind how you relate to others, helping you move from reactive patterns to intentional, secure, and fulfilling connections.

Breaking Relational Patterns

Stuckness in dating often reflects early attachment dynamics. Whether you are drawn to unavailable partners or feel anxious when intimacy grows, these patterns are understandable adaptations that can be observed, understood, and reshaped.

"The goal of therapy is to move from reactive dating to secure, intentional connection."

By identifying your attachment blueprint, we work to cultivate earned security. This allows you to communicate needs clearly, evaluate potential partners thoughtfully, and engage authentically—without the mask of performance or fear of judgment.

From Anxiety to Authenticity

Dating anxiety often stems from a reliance on external validation. It may appear as overthinking, hesitation in interactions, or losing yourself in new connections.

Therapy strengthens internal self-esteem, giving you a stable sense of self regardless of outcomes. When you no longer date for approval, curiosity and presence replace anxiety—the very qualities that foster meaningful chemistry and lasting attraction.
