Dr. Nicholaides is a licensed clinical psychologist and couples/relationship specialist. She is also the owner of Philadelphia Couples Therapy (PCT), a doctoral-level couples group practice offering a treatment team approach to supporting couples of every persuasion. Couples work is not for the faint of heart; many times couples come into therapy on the verge of separation. The work is emergent and vital, often bringing each partner to a new space in life that feels transformative to them. The clinicians at PCT work together to provide couples, individual, and group treatment in order to bolster the couple system in the way it might need. Today, couples are expected to be everything to one another, all the while navigating children, mortgages, layoffs, or illnesses. Such pressure can unravel even the strongest of partnerships. PCT offers just the support couples need to get back on their feet and face the world again.
