Pinny has this calm, kind presence that instantly puts both partners at ease — even when the conversation is tough. He’s trained in EFT, so he knows how to get underneath the arguments to what’s really going on, and he’s great at helping couples say the things they’ve been struggling to put into words. With Pinny, it’s not just about fixing fights; it’s about actually feeling close again.

“Pinny” Roth is an exceptional relationship therapist.
He helped us so much, by listening and understanding, and
creating a safe feeling and place for each of us to work from.
It’s amazing we got to a more secure and deeper deeper place in our relationship. I found the place inside myself that I could safely love my husband-so much more. I’m so much happier-personally AND with my husband. It took about a year. He’s the BEST. // NR

Both my husband and I are extremely grateful for the opportunity to have worked with Pinny. Honestly, working with him was one of the best things we did for our relationship. He takes an unbiased approach to whatever issues are at hand (nothing is off the table), and we both walked away from each session feeling a sense of deepening in our relationship. There were days that we would arrive to a session with no words for each other and when it would end, our conversation and connection would continue throughout the rest of the day and week. Pinny is gifted at his craft and we would recommend him and his practice to anybody or any couple looking for support. The only reason that we had to stop seeing Pinny was because we had a new job schedule switch and weren't able to make it work (entirely on us as he was extremely flexible). We already know that our sessions with Pinny will pick back up in the future because he's that great at what he does. Thank you, Pinny!

☺️ I'm blushing from that one! Wow. Sometimes in our profession ( bc of limitations of confidentiality) we don't get much feedback. Your words are very meaningful and inspire me to continue help others! Thank you for sharing this!

Thank you Brandi! I always look forward to my premarital counseling couples ESPECIALLY when they are as growth-minded and driven as you and Drew are! You are an awesome pair and I'm excited for the future you are going to build together. It's rewarding to know the foundations for a healthy marriage are in place. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to help in that process.
🎉 Congrats!
