Online Couples Therapy for Staten Island
From Staten Island, our Midtown office is a ferry and a subway ride away — over an hour each way. So for Staten Island couples we work by video, and save the trip for the occasional session you want in a room together.
Why video works for this
- Weekly sessions that survive work, school pickups and the ferry schedule
- No babysitter needed — the most common reason couples stop going
- You can join from two places if one of you is traveling or working late
- Same clinician and the same method as our in-person sessions
What we work on
- Marriage counseling for couples at a crossroads
- Recurring conflict, distance, or a relationship that has become logistics
- Affair recovery
- Premarital counseling
- Couples deciding whether to stay together
Sessions and fees
Couples sessions with Terese D., LMFT-LP: 60 minutes $240, 75 minutes $300, on a HIPAA-compliant video platform. When you want to come in, our office is at 352 7th Ave — the ferry to Whitehall, then the 1 from South Ferry to 28th Street.

Questions
What people ask
Is online marriage counseling as effective as in person?
For most couples, yes — outcomes are comparable. The exception is couples in high-conflict escalation, where we usually suggest starting with at least one session in person.
Do you take insurance?
We are out-of-network. Where your plan accepts out-of-network claims and you elect it, we file on your behalf; otherwise we provide superbills.
