“How we understand our emotional patterns shapes how we experience our relationships and ourselves.”

You may be here because something feels strained. Anxiety or depression may be affecting your connection with others. Communication may feel repetitive or tense. Intimacy may feel distant. A life transition may have unsettled your sense of stability.

When patterns repeat in conflict, dating, family dynamics, or under stress, it can feel confusing or discouraging. But patterns are not permanent. With clarity and support, they can shift.

Therapy offers space to slow down, understand what is happening beneath the surface, and begin responding in ways that feel more intentional and grounded.

Meet Joanna Kaminski, LMFT,
Licensed Psychotherapist

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist working with adults, couples, and families in New York City and throughout New York State.

My work focuses on emotional and relational patterns. I specialize in couples therapy, adult family work, and sex and intimacy concerns. I also support clients experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, dating challenges, divorce, postpartum changes, and life transitions.

I work with couples seeking to improve communication, rebuild trust, and strengthen emotional and sexual intimacy. I support adult siblings, parents, and adult children, and extended family members who want to better understand long-standing dynamics and communicate more effectively.

My clinical approach integrates Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), the Gottman Method, Attachment Theory, Structural Family Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I am also trained in sex therapy and work with individuals and couples navigating desire, communication around sex, and intimacy.

Therapy is a collaborative process. Together, we identify patterns, clarify emotional needs, and develop practical strategies for change.

In our work together, you may begin to experience:

  • Greater self-understanding
  • Clearer communication
  • Healthier boundaries
  • More effective conflict repair
  • Renewed trust and intimacy
  • Stronger, more stable relationships

I offer therapy in English and my native language, Polish.

“Joanna has been a consistent source of guidance and support for 4+ years. From day one, I immediately felt comfortable with Joanna as she created a safe environment, listened attentively, and demonstrated her understanding of the complexities of relationships. I am grateful for Joanna's help as I have grown immensely during our time together.”

– Client Review

“I spent years trying numerous therapists that I did not connect with, until I met Joanna. She is thoughtful and perceptive, always offering insight from her own life or using examples to make me feel understood. She has given me tools to feel more confident, free, and kind – to myself and others. I am so grateful to have found her!”

– Client Review

“Joanna is highly recommended by all of my patients who have the chance to interact with her. If you are dealing with marital problems, anxiety or depression issues, or you just want to understand why your life isn't going the way you would like it to, consider giving Joanna a call.”

– Dr. Edyta Reyher, MD

MY THERAPY STYLE

I generally tell clients to try a few sessions, and see how they feel about it. There is no pressure involved and I am accepting of the client’s feelings and wishes.

I’ve been formally trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), which I find to be useful when working with both individuals and couples.

When I’m able to make a genuine connection with a client in terms of understanding them as best as possible.

The mythologist Joseph Campbell noted that there is a common humanity within all of our nervous systems out of which we all act as a people. This simple reality goes a long way to building bridges.

My Polish background gives me already a different perspective and knowledge of being “different,” and I’m finding this to be comforting for some clients.
