Online Couples Therapy
Video is not a lesser version of this work. For couples with small children, opposite schedules, or one partner traveling, it is often the only format that survives contact with real life.
What works better online than people expect
- Couples who live in different cities can attend from two screens
- Parents of young children skip the childcare problem entirely
- Sessions happen in the environment where the conflict actually occurs
- Attendance holds up — the most common reason couples therapy fails is that it quietly stops
Where we can see you
Couples therapy by video is available anywhere in New York State. Our couples therapist's New Jersey licensure is in progress, so New Jersey couples meet her in person at the Midtown office for now. Dr. Kolawole, licensed in New York and New Jersey and a PSYPACT participant, offers relationship coaching by video in both states and beyond.
What people ask
Is video as effective as in person for couples?
The research on teletherapy for couples shows comparable outcomes for most presenting problems. The exceptions are high-escalation couples, where we usually start in person if we can.
What platform do you use?
A HIPAA-compliant video platform. You receive a link — nothing to install.
