You're here because something needs to change. Maybe your relationship feels more like a battlefield than a partnership. You love each other, but you're stuck in the same arguments, the same shutdowns, the same distance. Or maybe you're the one everyone leans on, the strong one, the reliable one, and you're running on empty with nowhere to fall apart. I help couples and individuals stop repeating painful patterns and start building the connection and clarity they actually want. I'm Robert Nyumah, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in helping couples recover from infidelity, emotional disconnection, and attachment wounds. I also work with burnt-out professionals, BIPOC men who rarely get space to be vulnerable, and members of immigrant communities navigating identity and belonging. My approach is different. We won't just talk about communication skills or coping strategies. We'll go deeper, exploring the attachment wounds, emotional triggers, and survival patterns driving your reactions. Using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS), we'll understand why you keep getting stuck so you can finally break free. I grew up between two worlds, surviving civil war in Liberia, refugee camps, and settling in the US. I understand what it means to carry complex identities, trauma, and the pressure to hold it together for everyone else. That lived experience, combined with my training in trauma-informed care, helps me create spaces where you can finally exhale and be real. What clients say about working with me: "Warm, direct, and incredibly insightful" "He gets the cultural stuff without me having to explain everything" "Finally, a therapist who doesn't just nod, he actually helps me understand myself" My style: Collaborative, warm, direct. I bring humor when it fits and honesty always. No therapist-speak or surface-level advice—just real conversation about what's really going on. I especially work well with: Couples recovering from infidelity or deep disconnection Interracial couples navigating cultural differences BIPOC men exploring vulnerability and emotional health Professionals and community leaders burning out from caring for everyone else Adult children and parents healing generational patterns Immigrants and diaspora members exploring identity and belonging
