Modern Therapy For Modern Relationships.

Don’t let the scars of the past define your current relationship.
Trauma and anxiety may shape your story, but healing gives you the pen to rewrite the ending.

Trauma therapy is hard work. It has to be. Because nothing worth doing comes easy. But let us take care of you through it.

The world is starved of healthy relational repair, conflict management, self-reflection, and accountability. So we won’t whisper sweet nothings into your ear and overlook the reality of your circumstances.

While we will empower you to take back your control and start working towards a better, healthier future, we will always hold compassion for the parts of you that are hurting.

How We Can Help

  • Individual Therapy

    Therapy isn’t about changing who you are, it’s about uncovering the patterns that no longer serve you.

    Together, we’ll process the hurts still living in your body and mind so you can feel more confident, connected, and free. This is your space to heal, grow, and create the kind of relationships you truly want.

  • Couples Therapy

    Whether it’s emotional distance, trust issues, constant tension, or low intimacy, we help you find your way back to a stronger partnership with healthier communication, expectations, and boundaries through Relational Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Emotionally Focused Therapy.

    This is your starting point for big growth and even bigger healing.

  • Trauma Therapy

    At Relational Realm, we don’t just talk about your trauma—we dismantle the systems it built in your nervous system, your relationships, and your sense of self.

    This is therapy for people who are tired of repeating the same patterns and ready to face the real stuff: the childhood wounds, the intimacy fears, the harmful cycles. No toxic positivity, no spiritual bypassing—just grounded, gutsy healing that sticks.

  • EMDR Therapy

    EMDR at Relational Realm isn’t just a buzzword, it’s full-body healing from the trauma that’s been running your life behind the scenes. We target the stuck memories, the emotional flashbacks, the triggers that hijack your relationships and self-worth.

    This is healing for people who are done managing symptoms and ready to rewire their brain for real freedom. No numbing, no endless talk loops—just deep, efficient, evidence-based transformation.

  • Support For Partners of Trauma Survivors

    Therapy for partners of survivors isn’t about teaching you to “carry it all” or sacrificing your well-being. It’s about helping you feel grounded, supported, and effective in your relationship.

    Together, we work on shifting patterns, building resilience, and finding ways to connect so you can thrive alongside your partner without losing yourself.

Why work with Relational Realm? 

Whether You’ve Already Tried Everything Or Are Brand New to Therapy…

Most talk therapy couches are either too soft to be effective or too rigid to feel safe opening up. And that’s exactly why it hasn’t worked.

Relational Realm is a team of online trauma therapists led by Mariah Gallagher, a Columbia- and NYU-trained clinician who merges logical expertise with real-world emotional intelligence to serve individuals and couples in Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut.

We give you the actionable tools to heal your trauma and thrive in your relationships so you can get back to living life to its fullest by:

  • Skipping the fluff and getting straight to the real work

  • Identifying the relational cycles within your life (and how they’ve impacted you)

  • Healing from trauma and taking sustainable steps towards a better future

No Topic Is Off Limits

  • Romantic Relationships

    Dating and relationship confidence, sex and desire, betrayal, trust, and conflict — no topic is too juicy or taboo for us!

  • Friendships

    Friendship and social connection are essential to well-being, yet you feel lonely, drained, and disconnected. We’re here to help you navigate your social relationships with confidence and ease.

  • Family Dynamics

    Whether exploring childhood trauma, navigating your adult relationship with family members, or attempting to break a cycle of generational trauma, we can help. You got this.

  • Breakups

     We won’t sugar coat it — healing from heartbreak really sucks. We provide the support you need to process grief, gain insight, and rebuild your sense of self.

  • Life Transitions

    Feeling your relationship strain under the weight of moving in or becoming parents? Trying to decide how to navigate a change in your career or social life? We got you!

  • Workplace Dyanamics

    Toxic coworkers, poor boundaries, people-pleasing, or constant burnout—if work relationships are affecting your mental health, you're not alone.

  • Narcissistic Abuse Recovery

    We’ll gently untangle the gaslighting, rebuild your inner clarity, and help you reconnect with your worth. You deserve safety, truth, and happiness.
