Couples Therapist Serving New Providence, NJ

When a relationship has been disrupted by an affair or another serious breach of trust, the injured partner may need answers while the other partner struggles to stay present with the intensity of the hurt. Garrett Coan, LCSW serves couples in New Providence through secure, high-definition telehealth, while the practice’s physical headquarters and in-person office remain in Clifton, New Jersey.
Couples in New Providence dealing with infidelity or another major betrayal may find that communication becomes dominated by painful questions, defensiveness, checking, or repeated attempts to make sense of what happened. The injured partner may feel emotionally unsafe while the other partner may struggle to stay present with the intensity of the hurt, creating a cycle in which both people feel increasingly disconnected. That breakdown in communication and trust can deepen emotional distance unless accountability, honesty, and the conditions for meaningful repair are addressed directly.
Our clinical framework focuses on breaking negative cycles by slowing the interaction down enough to see what each partner is protecting, fearing, or needing beneath the surface. Understanding relationship problems can provide important context, but it never shifts responsibility for the decision to be unfaithful. From there, therapy works to rebuild active trust where it has been strained and establish enough emotional safety for both partners to stay engaged in difficult conversations.
For residents of New Providence, our secure, high-definition telehealth model perfectly accommodates busy schedules by working around commuting and scheduling demands connected with NJ Transit Gladstone Branch; Springfield Avenue and the New Providence Station and downtown Springfield Avenue area. Sessions are virtual, while our main physical headquarters and in-person office remain in Clifton, New Jersey.

Do you accept insurance?

I specialize exclusively in relational therapy, focusing entirely on your communication patterns and marital healing. Because traditional health insurance operates on a medical model—requiring an individual mental health diagnosis to cover treatment—I choose to operate as a private-pay practice. This approach allows us total clinical freedom to focus strictly on your relationship, without the need to pathologize either partner. My fee is $295 per session. To protect this relational focus, I do not process insurance or provide superbills or diagnostic coding for reimbursement. If this structure feels like a good fit for your goals, I would be honored to support you both.
