Stuart Fensterheim

I’m Stuart Fensterheim, I work with couples having difficulty feeling close and connected to one another. I assist them in finding ways to deepen their relationship by understanding and sharing what each person needs in the relationship. I help couples feel secure knowing that they will work together providing that for one another. From an early age, I knew I wanted to help others overcome the immense struggles that so often stand in the way of happiness. Many of us engage in patterns of behavior that obstruct our sense of validation, which can create difficulties when it comes to connecting with others. A lack of strong connections can lead to feelings of loneliness, depression, loss, and fear. I believe that we all deserve to live comfortable, happy lives, as free as possible from these obstructions. To realize my hope to help others, I received my master’s degree in social work from the University of Maryland in 1985, where I specialized in individual and family counseling. I have over 30 years of experience working with couples programs. I am licensed as a social worker through the Arizona State Board of Behavioral Health. Throughout the years, I have worked in many acute care settings as a medical social worker, a trauma social worker, and a director of social services. I also have experience as an outpatient therapist at various mental health clinics and I am a contributor to the Huffington Post. I believe that family is the number one priority in life.
