About Couples Therapy

Couples therapy, provided by a psychiatrist, is a specialized form of psychotherapy designed to help partners improve their relationship. It focuses on identifying and resolving conflicts, enhancing communication, and rebuilding emotional intimacy. A psychiatrist brings a unique medical perspective, assessing for underlying mental health conditions like depression or anxiety that may affect the relationship dynamic. Sessions involve both partners and are tailored to address specific issues such as trust, intimacy, or life transitions. This evidence-based approach aims to foster understanding, develop healthier interaction patterns, and strengthen the partnership's foundation for long-term well-being.

PATIENT REVIEW

As a 72-year-old retired classical dancer...

As a 72-year-old retired classical dancer with treatment-resistant depression, I'd lost all joy in life until Dr. Kurinjinathan introduced me to novel neuromodulation therapy. His integration of movement therapy with medication completely transformed my recovery, I'm now teaching dance to seniors with mental health challenges.
