About Joseph Gherman, L.M.S.W.
Family and Relationship Counselor in Staten Island, NY
What’s up guys, I’m Joe
I absolutely love working with couples who feel misunderstood and frustrated in their marriage and truly want to more out of their relationship.
In particular I love working with married couples who feel caught up in life, career, and raising a family, but still want to feel love and desired by their spouse. I also love working with families, specifically the dynamic of parents and children.
How my passion developed
Having grown up with divorced parents, and around so many unhappy marriages, I didn’t understand how married couples went from dating, romance and fun to just living an average life, with a marriage that is less than what you really want.
The experiences of my family and friends and how they described their marriages didn’t match the relationships I knew people cam have with each other.
I asked myself my own questions about my past relationships, and what I wanted for myself, not just in relationships but out of life. I needed to totally detach from the norm my friends and family described as they just described unhappy and average relationships with their wives and girlfriends.
Continuing ask myself questions about my own values in relationships, allowed me to form a strong sense of self to truly create great ones.
Looking at my own relationships, and those around me, completely allowed me to understand what truly makes a great relationship and gave me great insight into how to guide couples into creating a great marriage for themselves.
How I live out my passion as a therapist
I absolutely love being there for each couple as they slowly but certainly see the difference their relationship takes for the better. While no two couples are the same, it is truly a great feeling to be side by side with each couple.
I want everyone to know there is no shame in giving yourself to your partner in this process whether you are married, in a relationship, or just dating.
Discovering the ease and happiness you can have in your marriage is a beautiful thing!
How I help others
I understand as a couple we are continuously either feeling more loved, heard, and understood by our spouse, or more alone and unhappy. There is no shame in wanting to be happier, communicating better, and having more fun in your relationship and marriage.
I want to shift couples’ perspective on their marriage from average and o.k. to absolutely amazing.
