How to Redesign Relationships: Insights Into Sex Therapy and Discernment Counseling

Relationships can be challenging at times and require work from both parties to thrive.

My guest on the show today is Tracy Ross, a couples and family therapist in New York City. She has been working with couples at all phases of their relationship including pre-marriage and post-divorce for over 25 years.
