	Karen Sherman 50 Pasadena Dr. Plainview, NY 11803 Phone Number: (516) 935-5033 Email: DrK723@aol.com I’ve been in private practice for over 20 years with a specialty in relationships. I truly believe that most marriages can be saved and can be better and stronger than they were before coming in for marital work. To me, the most important thing a couple can bring to the table initially is their desire to make things better, in spite of the hurt or anger they may be experiencing. When children are involved, I think it is especially important for couples to make every effort to work on their marriage. Once we begin, I see our work as a collaborative process. I help you learn to understand and respect your differences as well as how to bridge them. Often, I view myself as a translator until you learn the way to better express yourselves in meaningful, productive ways. Aside from good communication, I feel it is vital for a couple to stay connected. To that end, I help you work on the skills to stay mindful of your relationship. Throughout our work, I am sensitive to each of you, who you are presently, what your backgrounds have been, what you need to move forward. What I also find particularly rewarding is helping couples who are first starting out - as they plan their wedding - because aside from all the details of the day, there are also lots of relational concerns that can be stressful. Learning to deal with these can make for a much smoother time of it and a great foundation to your relationship! So whether you're a couple who has been together for a while or you're one that's just about to start your journey together, I truly derive great pleasure in helping you achieve the joy in your partnership!
