Meet Melissa Divaris Thompson, LMFT
I'm a couples therapist in NYC who has spent years sitting with partners in the hardest, most tender moments of their relationships.
One thing I know for sure: relationships don't come with a manual. Mine certainly didn't.
That's why I created The Conflict Decoder. Because no one ever taught us how to break the painful patterns that keep us spinning. My work blends Emotionally Focused Therapy, attachment science, and real-world wisdom so you can stop fighting the same fight and start turning toward each other instead.
Ready to Stop Having the Same Fight??
Download The Conflict Decoder and discover what's really driving your conflicts. In just a few minutes, you'll have clarity on your pattern and practical steps to start breaking the cycle.
