About Me
Hi!
I'm Dr. Uri Krakauer, PsyD
Relational Psychologist • Couples Therapist • Group Facilitator
I’m a psychologist who works deeply at the intersection of emotion, attachment, and relationship.
​
My approach is rooted in the belief that being truly seen and understood is foundational to healing and growth. As I often say: “I feel seen, therefore I am.”
In my practice, I work with both individuals and couples who are looking to move beyond patterns that keep them stuck (disconnection, conflict, anxiety, or loneliness) and into a space of clarity, openness, and emotional safety.
​
My Focus
​
Couples Therapy:
I specialize in emotionally focused work, helping partners understand their cycles, communicate more vulnerably, and move toward repair. Whether you’re stuck in conflict or slowly drifting apart, we’ll focus on the space between you and how to make it feel safer and more alive.
​
Individual Therapy:
I also work with individuals navigating relationships, identity, trauma, or life transitions. Our work together is relational, experiential, and curious; grounded in empathy and the belief that transformation happens in safe connection.
​
Group & Workshop Facilitation:
I co-lead workshops and groups that offer experiential learning and emotional reset — including The Art of the Check-In, a relationship series for couples looking to reconnect in real time.
​
My Style
​
Clients often describe me as calm, grounded, direct, and deeply human. I’m not a blank screen; I’m a steady presence who engages with compassion and honesty.
I believe change happens when people feel seen, not fixed. Therapy with me isn’t about tools or tricks; it’s about relationships, emotions, and the courage to show up differently.
The Heart of the Work
Relationships
Are you feeling stuck in the space between you and someone you love?
​
Whether you're a couple caught in repeated patterns, or an individual wondering why relationships feel so hard, this work is about slowing things down and tuning into what is really happening underneath.
​
I use Emotion-Focused Therapy to help people connect more deeply with themselves and each other.
Emotional Safety and Triggers
When emotions feel too big, too sharp, or come on too fast, it can be hard to feel grounded.
​
Sometimes we shut down. Sometimes we lash out. Together we’ll explore what sets off the alarm inside you, and what it might be protecting. The goal isn’t to get rid of the feeling — it’s to make room for it and learn to respond instead of react.
Loneliness and Longing
Many people come to therapy carrying a quiet sense of aloneness, even when they are surrounded by others.
Sometimes we long for closeness and fear it at the same time. We’ll make space for those longings, without rushing to fix them. Healing begins when we feel met there.
Life Transitions and Identity
The Cycle You're In
Major changes can shake the foundation of who we are. Parenthood, divorce, relocation, career shifts, or losses can leave you feeling disoriented or unmotivated.
​
Therapy is a space to find clarity about who you are becoming and how to meet your life with steadiness.
Do you keep having the same fight with your partner?
Do you feel like you are chasing or being chased, shutting down, or walking on eggshells?
These aren't just communication issues — they're emotional patterns rooted in protection and attachment. Let's slow the cycle and find a way back to each other.
Repairing the Relationship with Yourself
Many people come to therapy not just because of what's happening around them, but because of how they feel inside. You might find yourself stuck in self-criticism, second-guessing your worth, or feeling disconnected from who you are.
​
Therapy can be a space to notice how you talk to yourself, how you respond to your own pain, and what it might mean to offer yourself more compassion.
