You're probably already litigating everything—endlessly dissecting who said what and who's more wrong. That exhausting cycle gets you nowhere and leaves you both drained and disconnected.
I won't let our sessions become "relationship autopsies." Instead, we'll identify exactly what's happening and build skills you can use right away. My approach? Warm but straight to the point, helping you move from talking in circles to creating real change—with a horizon of hope visible from day one.
How I Help
Individual
Counseling
Some days everything feels overwhelming—work demands, relationship complexities, life's unexpected turns. You might be overthinking decisions, feeling stuck in patterns that once worked but now hold you back, or simply needing clarity about what you actually want.
In our work together, I won't just listen and nod—I'll help you identify specific patterns and develop concrete strategies to change them. We'll establish clear goals and ways to measure progress, so you'll know exactly what's working and what's not.
My approach combines structured guidance with genuine care. You'll develop specific skills with practical ways to implement them between sessions. Clients tell me they appreciate getting both compassion and clear direction—helping them create lives with greater purpose, authentic connections, and renewed confidence.
Couples
Counseling
Does this sound familiar? You start discussing weekend plans or household tasks, and somehow it escalates into that same old argument. What used to be minor disagreements now leave you both feeling drained and disconnected. Despite genuine effort, you're stuck repeating patterns you can predict but can't seem to change.
I help couples break these frustrating cycles using practical, evidence-based approaches with clear metrics for success. Instead of rehashing who said what (what I call "relationship autopsies"), we'll focus on developing tangible skills that create immediate, measurable shifts in how you communicate. You'll learn to:
Growing up with a mother who practiced couples therapy, I saw firsthand that relationships transform with the right roadmap and tools. As a Gottman-trained therapist, I function as an engaged facilitator, not a passive observer. You'll know therapy is working when you argue less frequently, recover more quickly when you do, and experience more positive interactions daily.
Here's the thing: there are two truths in every relationship. Until you accept that fundamental premise, you'll keep fighting battles that rarely lead to reconnection or real resolution.
Hi, I’m Daniel Menely
I've spent my life helping people get from where they are to where they want to be
My background in communication and family systems showed me that relationships transform with the right roadmap and practical tools, not endless analysis of what went wrong.
For 15 years at NYU, I helped students clarify their thoughts and communicate more effectively. My focus wasn't just on what they were saying, but on empowering them when they weren't with me. This same principle guides my therapy practice—giving you skills and strategies you can use long after our sessions end.
As a therapist, I function more like an active collaborator and teacher than just a passive listener. I won't waste your time with vague insights or endless processing without direction. Instead, I offer honest feedback, specific strategies, and measurable goals so you can see tangible progress in your life and relationships.
My clients often say they appreciate my directness, structured approach, and ability to make complex challenges feel manageable. Whether you're seeking to transform a relationship, navigate a life transition, or simply find greater clarity, I'll help you move from talking in circles to making measurable progress toward what matters most — including in areas like intimacy and your sex life that many couples struggle to address directly.
