Marriage Counseling and Couples Therapy

It can happen in any relationship. The day-to-day grind of work, school, family and other responsibilities can cause a shift or loss of focus. Small failures to communicate can build and trust can start to crumble. What were once minor disagreements can become a source of ever-escalating conflict. And once your relationship starts moving in that direction, you can find it difficult to stop the momentum. We can help you.
Our Marriage Counseling & Couples TherapyWe provide comprehensive counseling services to couples experiencing difficulty because of:

• Infidelity of one or both parties
• Loss of physical and/or emotional intimacy, including challenges stemming from an earlier history of childhood sexual abuse, physical or emotional trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), or substance abuse
• Lack or loss of attachment
• Depression, anxiety or panic attacks
• Loss of a job or chronic joblessness

From Nick DeMetro, ESQ.
I have been a Divorce Attorney and Mediator for over 25 years. When a couple comes to me and there is a chance their marriage might be saved...I send them directly to Angela DeCandia. She is a compassionate, engaging, talented couple therapist with unprecedented success. She has helped couples with the most challenging situations. I highly recommend Angela.

From S & J - Maplewood, NJ
​We started working with Angela shortly after learning of my husband's infidelity.  I thought there was no way to recover.  The work we did with Angela was transformative. I can honestly say that we did more than rebuild trust - we were able to rebuild the foundation of our marriage, learn how we got to where we did and become closer as a result. I cannot say enough. 

From TC - Montclair, NJ
I am a trauma survivor. I have been in therapy most of my life, but always felt like the treatment made me feel worse. Then I met Angela. Her approach is gentle, caring and empowering. She was my angel of healing - thank you - thank you - thank you

From L & J - New York, NY
Angela has a very special approach to working with grief - especially the loss of a child which she helped us understand - is different.  Our loss was overwhelming and tearing us apart. We learned to take space and have compassion for each other since wee grieved in such different ways. It's hard to describe. She helped us individually and integrated the individual grief work into our couples' work. Step by step -day by day - we are healing.
