Allia has helped me better understand why I've made the decision I've made, and why I feel the way I do. I've also learned a great deal about ho to cope with the feelings I have and how to manage anxiety and guilt.

My husband and I were having difficulties, including trust issues, faithlessness, communication, partnership issues. We were having fights almost every day. My husband thought we couldn't possibly benefit with leaving together. Then we decided to give our marriage one more chance and began going to Hal. He was kind, nonjudgmental, a good listener, funny, and sincere. I feel like he was truly partnering with us to save our relationship. He had interest in seeing us succeed together and to learn to love each other better than we ever thought was possible. I have to say, I didn’t think that my marriage was able to be saved, but my husband and I are doing better than ever! Thanks Hal!

My wife and I have been married 7 years. We were in a rut and were not enjoying each other’s company. We were always fighting and had discussed divorce, but realized we didn’t try couples counseling yet. Our friend recommended Hal Brickman to us. We can’t thank her enough because it was the best recommendation we have ever received. Hal is a professional couples counselor in Long Island. After having 2-3 sessions with Hal, I felt more confident and motivated to work on our marriage. It has been about a year since the last session we had with him. Happy to say that our marriage is now way better than before. We both are so much happier and thankfully did not need to get a divorce. Thank you so much Hal, for saving our marriage.
Bob L
Hal Brickman is a great counselor and truly advocated for both of us and our relationship throughout all of our sessions. His approach was thoughtful and easy to follow. He listened to our concerns and organized the sessions in a meaningful way to cover many of our needs. The feedback he provided was positive and professional. I really feel a great sense of relief. I would definitely recommend Hal to others looking for couples counseling.
Katy F,
Manhasset, NYAllia was the first therapist that helped my husband and me not only work on our conflicts but also the times in between. I feel much closer to him and found a friendship I really didn't think was revivable. Wonderful therapist.
Peter M
Port Washington, NYSeeing Allia with my wife was by far the best choice we could have made. Neither of us wanted a divorce. I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel in this marriage and am very thankful.
Michelle P
Rego Park, NYAllia is great- understanding and really listens while also giving insights and helping me and my boyfriend get each other so much more.
Sarrah M
Lake Success, NYWish I went to Allia sooner. She gave me tools to help with my anger and gave my boyfriend tools to work on his communication and again and the whole experience brought us closer.
Cameron B
Forest Hills, NYI rave about couples therapy and send as many people to Allia as I can. She hands down saved my relationship.
Shantel P
Little Neck, NYAllia walked us through the process and kind of made me forget why I had been resistant to couples therapy. The office is comfortable and relaxing and my boyfriend and I were able to talk about things we were too scared to before.
Allison B
Forest Hills, NYMy parents never accepted my relationship, which caused a lot of struggle in the relationship with my partner. Allia worked with us in storming this together and creating a more supportive bond...it's completely changed our relationship.
Kandis L,
Douglaston, NYAllia is the best...I can't say enough good things about my experience. My boyfriend feels the same way. We've made so much progress in our relationship since coming to see her.
Jason K
Astoria, NYI highly recommend Allia for anyone struggling in their relationship. Calming, open, compassionate, direct, and knowledgable.
NY
NYMy significant other and myself went to Allia when we were on the edge of ending our relationship. Allia helped us analyze our problem and provided us with constructive therapy to strengthen our relationship. Looking back on the therapy experience, I can say with confidence my significant other's and my relationship would be over if we didn't seek out help from Allia. If your relationship is taking a turn for the worse, you can trust you're in good hands working through therapy with Allia.
Sam C.
I found Hal at my lowest, depression taking a toll on all aspects of my life. He guided me through the process of talking things out- things I've kept in for years which took a huge weight off me. I can't thank him enough for that.
Matt A
Allia has been empathetic, engaged, thoughtful, supportive, and insightful throughout the course of therapy. I have continued my therapy sessions well past the point I thought I would because it has brought me benefits and understanding beyond what I was looking for or expecting.
Peter M.
Tina puts my situations in perspective in a language that I can relate to. She teaches me tools to help me get through certain issues. She provides constructive feedback in terms that are relatable and understandable for me
Sarrah R.
Tina is great. Love our conversations we have I feel very comfortable telling her things.
Sam P
Tina allows us to openly express ourselves. She does not pick sides and is capable of telling us when we're wrong and shows us how look at things from all angles. She listens to both sides, she's unbiased and gives positive feedback.
Mark S
Tina is very easy and comfortable to work with and it's very easy to open up with our situation. She also gives very insightful feedback regarding things we should and shouldn't do. I have learned to be more patient and voice out some of my concerns.
