Heal your communication.

Rebuild your connection.

Learn to love without losing yourself.

​

• Are you stuck in the same fight on repeat?

• Do you feel like roommates instead of partners?

• Do your attempts to talk just lead to blaming, shutdowns, or emotional explosions?

 

If so, you’re not alone—and you’re not doomed.

 

I’m Alison Bulman, LCSW—award-winning author, nationally recognized relationship expert, and creator of Lovitation®, a unique method that helps couples reconnect, rebuild trust, and actually enjoy being together again.

 

I work with high-functioning couples who feel frustrated, lonely, or completely stuck—but who still want to make it work.

 

Whether you’ve been together for years, are newly married, or are trying to prevent your relationship from becoming like your parents’… you’re in the right place.

 

Why Couples Like You Struggle

​

The #1 issue I hear from couples?

“We can’t communicate.”

 

• You interrupt, blame, or shut down

• You feel misunderstood or unseen

• You try to fix each other’s feelings—only to make things worse

• Conversations feel like a trap, so you stop talking altogether

​

Eventually, it spills into everything—your emotional health, your workday, your family dynamic, even your finances. Reckless communication costs too much.

 

But here’s the truth: You don’t have to keep doing this. With the right tools, communication becomes the bridge back to connection—and everything gets better from there.

 

My Approach: Practical, Insightful, Transformational

​

I don’t just listen and nod.

I coach you in real time—with interactive, eye-opening exercises that help you practice new skills and rebuild trust on the spot.

 

In our sessions, you’ll experience:

 

• Guided conversations that feel safe, structured, and emotionally honest

• Fun, experiential exercises that make learning feel natural and engaging

• Real-time coaching so you stop spiraling and start connecting

• A simple, proven framework for staying grounded—even in conflict

 

 

This is not traditional talk therapy.

It’s an embodied, mindful reset for your relationship.

 

You’ll walk away with tools you can use in daily life—so you can feel heard, express your needs, repair faster, and fall back in love with your partner’s humanity.

 

What You’ll Learn with Me

​

I teach couples:

 

• The 10 most common “Intimacy Blocks” that keep you stuck

• The 10 “Ground Rules” for Safe Communication that prevent defensiveness

• How to say the hard things without triggering each other

• How to really listen—and feel listened to

• How to disarm conflict and rebuild connection in real time

​

It’s a simple method.

And it works.

 

Who I Work With

​

• Long-term couples who want to rekindle connection and intimacy

• Newlyweds and unmarried couples looking to lay the groundwork for lasting love

• Couples navigating sobriety or major life transitions

• Partners who’ve tried other therapy—and are ready for something that actually helps

• Anyone who wants relationship preventive care—the communication tools that strengthen every part of life: love, parenting, friendship, even leadership at work

​

Why Clients Choose Me

​

I’ve helped hundreds of couples move from disconnected and defeated… to emotionally fluent, securely connected, and deeply in love again.

 

I’ve been featured on the cover of Garden City Living Magazine, profiled in Cornell University’s Alumni Magazine, and invited back to Cornell as a featured relationship expert and speaker. I also train therapists nationwide in the Lovitation® method, helping professionals elevate their own couples work.

 

Clients say working with me is:

 

“The best investment we’ve ever made in our relationship—and ourselves.”

Coming Soon: Debut Book on Mindful Communication

 

My upcoming book comes out later this year.

 

It’s a personal love story for singles, a powerful guide for couples, and a reflection on how to stay vulnerable and authentic in an increasingly artificial, AI-driven world. It’s also packed with tools to help you communicate in a way that changes your relationships—for good.
