These feelings are completely normal. They often come from past experiences, where your brain developed patterns to keep you safe.

What Makes The Connection Space Different

Authentic connection

We meet you where you are: gentle when you need support, clear and direct when you need guidance.

Healing without “fixing”

You are not broken. Therapy can be hard work, and it can also include humor, lightness, and moments of joy.

You’re the expert on you

We walk alongside you with curiosity, respect, and care, supporting your unique journey every step of the way.

Full emotional bandwidth

From laughter to tears, we embrace it all, because real growth happens in that range.

About The Connection Space

At The Connection Space, we believe relationships are at the heart of healing. When our bonds with ourselves or others are strained, the pain can run deep. But when those connections are strong, they become a powerful source of growth, joy, and change.

Dr. Avigail Margolis founded The Connection Space to bring a more integrative approach to therapy. Too often, therapy feels one-sided—either endless exploration without direction, or skills training that doesn’t reach the root of the struggle. Here, we bring both together: practical, evidence-based tools paired with meaningful exploration of the patterns that keep you stuck.

Dr. Margolis is a licensed clinical psychologist and co-founder of the Association of Orthodox Jewish Psychologists (AOJP). She is passionate about helping people build healthier relationships, discover joy, and feel truly understood in their unique stories.

Every client’s journey is unique. For some, therapy focuses on learning new skills each week; for others, it’s about understanding and healing from past experiences.

In fact, research shows that the connection with your therapist is one of the strongest predictors of progress.  We aim to make therapy a safe space to practice new ways of relating, helping you bring those skills into your life and relationships outside the session.
