Monika Amirian, J.D., Mediator, MFT Intern in New York
I am a training clinician at The Relationship Suite, specializing in Marriage and Family Therapy. I have experience in helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges. Prior to entering the field of Marriage and Family Therapy, I practiced as an attorney and mediator for many years, helping families stuck in conflict resolve their legal issues amicably. My training as an attorney and mediator provides me with instrumental skills such as active listening, problem solving and conflict resolution. These critical skills assist my clients tremendously in practice.
My therapeutic approach is grounded in compassion, empathy, and collaboration. I believe in creating a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings, gain insights, and develop effective coping strategies. I specialize in addressing issues such as relationship conflict, communication difficulties, and life transitions.
I integrate evidence-based techniques with a deep understanding of each client’s unique situation. I use Emotionally Focused Therapy, Gottman and Imago therapy to help couples work through negative patterns and learn more effective ways to communicate. I am committed to empowering clients to build stronger relationships, enhance their emotional well-being, and achieve personal growth.
