It’s okay to ask for help.

Families and couples often wait until things feel especially difficult before reaching out for support. Therapy can offer a space to slow down, understand what is happening, and begin strengthening the relationships that matter most.

The Ackerman Clinic works with couples, parents, children, teens, and families navigating conflict, stress, transitions, and disconnection.

We offer in-person therapy in New York City and virtual therapy throughout New York State, with sliding-scale options and insurance/Medicaid accepted.

If you or your family could use support reach out to us.

One family helped. One clinician trained. One finding shared.

At Ackerman, each department strengthens the other, and that’s how 65 years of family care keeps reaching further.

Clinic. Training. Research. At Ackerman, they’re not separate programs. They work together.

What we learn in the Clinic shapes how we train clinicians, and what we discover in research shapes how families are cared for.

Couple conflict is often about more than the issue being discussed in the moment.

Trauma history, attachment patterns, emotional regulation, and early relational experiences can all shape how partners respond to one another when conflict arises.

In Trauma, Attachment, and Couple Conflict: Foundations for Trauma-Informed Couples Therapy, Melorra Sochet, LCSW will help clinicians build a stronger foundation for understanding these dynamics through a trauma-informed and attachment-based lens.

This workshop will explore:
• Acute, chronic, complex, developmental, relational, and intergenerational trauma
• Adult attachment styles
• The connection between attachment, emotional regulation, and conflict
• Trauma-informed approaches to understanding couple dynamics

It’s World Mental Health Day.
Mental health is shaped by family, not just the individual. This week, a parent and child will sit with an Ackerman clinician and begin, maybe for the first time, to truly hear each other. You make that possible.

What are couples really talking about when they argue about money?

Income, spending, debt, and financial inequity may be the presenting issues, but beneath them can be questions of fairness, power, autonomy, love, caregiving, control, and safety.

This Friday, Keren Ludwig, LCSW leads Couples and Money: Untangling Material and Relational Currency in Couples Therapy, a daylong in-person workshop for clinicians who work with couples.

Drawing from the Money and Family Life Project at Ackerman, the Ackerman Relational Approach, and the Vulnerability Cycle, participants will explore how family-of-origin experiences, gender scripts, cultural norms, identity, and personal history shape couples’ financial interactions.
