The Shalom Bayit Counseling Center

Shalom Bayit, a fundamental concept in Orthodox Jewish tradition, translates to "peace in the home." It encapsulates the notion of fostering harmony, tranquility, and a positive atmosphere within the household. This principle places a primary focus on maintaining peace, love, and respect within marital relationships and the family unit. Couples are encouraged to actively nurture their relationship, prioritize kindness and respect, and create a home filled with love, tranquility, and mutual understanding. By combining Gottman's couples counseling approach with Orthodox Jewish principles of Shalom Bayit, we aim to bridge the gap and provide evidence-based, culturally competent couples counseling to the Orthodox Jewish Community. We strive to assist Jewish couples seeking a blend of evidence-based couples counseling and adherence to Orthodox Jewish principles. Many couples have tried therapy in the past without success. The Shalom Bayit Counseling Center offers a distinctive approach that integrates cultural sensitivity, religious values, and effective techniques. This approach may resonate with couples who have encountered challenges in traditional therapy settings. Our goal is to reach and support couples within the Jewish community who face obstacles in accessing proper and appropriate marriage counseling.
