Zev Berkowitz, LCSW, helps individuals and couples navigate the most painful and complex moments in their relationships. Many of his clients are at a crossroads—facing the aftermath of infidelity, feeling emotionally disconnected, or stuck in repetitive conflicts. Others are struggling with compulsive behaviors like pornography, gambling, or overeating that are undermining trust and intimacy.
With over 20 years of clinical experience, Zev offers a direct, compassionate approach that helps clients move from overwhelm and shame toward clarity and healing. He creates a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel seen, heard, and supported—no matter what challenges they face.
Zev is trained in Imago Relationship Therapy and The Gottman Method, which he uses to guide couples through communication issues, trust breakdowns, behavioral challenges, and high-conflict dynamics. His work is grounded in deep respect for each person’s story and a belief in the possibility of meaningful, lasting change.
In addition to couples therapy, Zev supports teens and adults dealing with anxiety, panic attacks, and emotional reactivity. He uses evidence-based tools to help clients manage stress, rebuild confidence, and live with greater intention.
Zev’s background includes roles as a school psychologist, independent evaluator, and therapist at respected institutions like Maimonides Medical Center and Fordham Tremont. He also worked with the Family Healing Center in New Jersey, gaining expertise in family systems, anxiety, and substance use.
Outside the therapy room, Zev enjoys yoga, cycling, and spending time with his wife and four children. These personal connections continually inspire his commitment to helping others create lives—and relationships—they can truly feel proud of.
