Couples therapy that breaks the pattern, not just processes it

Gottman Method Level 3, evidence-based, and built for couples who've tried talking it through — and keep ending up in the same place.

How I Help

Gottman Method
Couples Counseling

You can probably map out exactly how the argument goes before it starts. You know your parts. You know the ending. And it keeps happening anyway.

That's not a communication problem. That's a cycle — and cycles don't break on their own.

Trained in the Gottman Method, I work with couples to interrupt the pattern, rebuild trust, and actually resolve conflict — not just process it endlessly. Including the hard stuff: infidelity, eroded intimacy, betrayal.

All couples are welcome in my practice— married, unmarried, premarital, long-married, heterosexual and same-sex. If there's a pattern running in the relationship, that's where I work.

Individual
Therapy

For high-functioning adults carrying anxiety, burnout, relationship stress, or a transition that's harder to move through than expected. Structured, direct, and focused on what's actually happening — not just how it feels.

Knowing what's wrong and being able to change it are two different things. This gap is exactly where our work together lives.

Hi, I’m Daniel Menely

I grew up in a therapist family — so in some ways, this was always where I was headed. Before I practiced clinically, I spent 15 years teaching expository writing at NYU Tisch. Teaching expository writing is really a study in how people say one thing and mean another, how arguments escalate through language, why some words land as attacks when they were never intended that way. When I found the Gottman Method in clinical training, it matched what I'd already spent years in the classroom observing.

What drives this work, for me, is what's on the other side of it — couples who can actually talk to each other, families that feel less like a pressure cooker and more like a home, people thriving inside their relationships instead of barely holding them together.

My approach is direct and structured — built for the point where insight stops being enough. You'll leave every session with a clearer picture of what's happening and something real to work with.
