I'm Richard Yerry, LCSW-R, a psychotherapist specializing in couples therapy and individual counseling. I offer in-person therapy in New York and telehealth throughout New York and Florida.
My work with couples is grounded in the Gottman Method, and I have completed Level 3 training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy. I help couples better understand their relationship, navigate recurring conflict, rebuild trust, strengthen emotional and physical intimacy, and develop a deeper, more fulfilling connection.
I particularly enjoy working with thoughtful, motivated couples who are invested in their lives and relationships but recognize that something isn't where they want it to be. Whether you're struggling with recurring arguments, emotional distance, a loss of connection, or simply want to strengthen an already good relationship, couples therapy can help you move beyond familiar patterns and create meaningful change. You don't need to be on the verge of separation to benefit.
My approach is active, collaborative, and intentional. I believe effective therapy involves more than simply talking about problems. It requires honest reflection, deeper understanding, practical strategies, and a willingness to approach things differently. I strive to create an environment that is warm and supportive while also being engaging and appropriately challenging.
I also enjoy working with individuals seeking greater self-understanding, navigating life transitions, overcoming obstacles, and creating more fulfilling lives. Many of my individual clients are professionals, healthcare providers, educators, first responders, and others who are accustomed to being the people others rely on.
I welcome individuals and couples of all political beliefs, sexual orientations, religious backgrounds, and relationship structures.
Professional Referrals
I welcome referrals from healthcare providers, attorneys, mediators, and other professionals seeking a trusted resource for their patients and clients.
