Shalom bayis therapy is also known as “couples therapy.” Couples therapy seeks to create a serene environment in the home setting. It can be utilized in fostering communication between spouses as well as creating practical strategies in raising children. Couples therapy is facilitated by a licensed and trained mental health professional.  

For 40 years, Pesach Tikvah has been Brooklyn’s leader in shalom bayis therapy. With total discreetness and attention to the cultural needs of the community, Pesach Tikvah has assisted thousands of couples in rekindling their shalom bayis. A little bit about the modalities used in couples therapy:  

Emotion Focused Therapy: Emotion Focused Therapy is focused on creating connections in relationships. It is a modality that doesn’t focus on right and wrong but merely focuses on one’s attachments via imparting the language to do so. It teaches how one can access and express one’s emotions. 

Gottman Method Couples Therapy: The Gottman Method is an approach to couples therapy that includes a thorough assessment of the relationship and integrates research-based interventions. This modality helps to diffuse the core destructors of a relationship. After creating a safe bond and safe space, methods are taught to navigate differences.  

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy can help a couple manage problems by reframing thoughts and behaviors. 

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy: ACT pays particular attention to thoughts and feelings, especially the stories or narratives which shape and direct our reactions.
