Help with
Anger Management, High Conflict, and
Abusive Relationships
Is everything a fight, overly stressful, and complicated? Do you feel like you're walking on egg shells, avoiding each other, feeling hopeless yet some part of you still longs for common ground and connection? Perhaps you're wondering if it's time to give up.
I have been helped hundreds of couples with these issues.
Open Relationships, Ethical Non-Monogamy, Polyamory
Are you considering opening your relationship or encountering challenges with a relationship that's already open?
Whether establishing or reworking agreements, running into unexpected feelings, or grappling with issues unrelated to your relationship-structure but wanting to work with someone familiar and supportive of unconventional/non-conforming relationships, I'm here to help.

Aaron J. Feldman, LMFT
Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (MFC43209)
I have been helping couples to identify and work through problems in their relationships since 2000.
Though I specialize in communication, anger management, and open relationships, in practical terms this means I help couples with parenting, infidelity, work-life balance, life transitions, grief, and pretty much everything within, between, and beyond.
Shared and common as problems might be, each person and relationship is unique, so what I will have to offer is tailored to you specifically.
Our temperament, gender, culture, personal and relationship history, identities, tendencies, dynamics, and circumstances all contribute to inherent challenges and solutions. I listen for and attend to these aspects of you and your life when working with you.
My style is spacious but also focused and containing, sometimes playful and always sincere, practical but reverent of depth.
Areas of Expertise
Online help with Communication
Sometimes communication breaks down because one or both of you are highly sensitive and reactive. Sometimes people struggle to find the words, making it hard to keep up in rapid-fire conversations. Others avoid conflict all together. Whatever the difficulty, being able to communicate with each other well is vital to the well-being of intimate relationships, and I can help you with this.
Online Therapy for Anger Management
If your frustration and anger are getting the best of you at home and elsewhere, working with a therapist experienced in assisting couples understand, recover, and rebuild their relationships in a real and respectful manner is essential.
Online support for Ethical Non-Monogamy (ENM)
Whether the issues you want to deal with are related to your relationship structure or not, a therapist who is familiar with and supportive of unconventional relationships can address your goals and challenges with greater compassion and efficacy.
