"Often time, people begin psychotherapy as a result of feeling disconnected from themselves or the world. When overwhelmed by life, you may notice feeling drained, disconnected, dissatisfied with your relationships, and at times physically unwell. In therapy, I create a safe space to explore past, present, and future struggles and work towards goals in order to live a more insightful, balanced, fulfilled life."

"I make the room safe, no matter the issue you bring to me. Everyone could use therapeutic support or help achieving greater pleasure in their life at some point, whether it is to cope with a break up, figure out relationship patterns that you want to change, contend with anxiety, loneliness or depression, grieve a loss, process major life transitions or work on a marriage. I have been treating adults and couples in private practice for over 15 years."

"Are your relationships troubled and disappointing? Do your fears and worries get in the way of your being your most creative, productive self? Do you sometimes find yourself in the same situations or repeating behaviors over and over, and you don't know how to find your way out? Habitual ways of reacting and behaving often began as the means of coping with the stresses of childhood, but are no longer useful or appropriate. I would like to help you become "unstuck", become less anxious and worried, feel more comfortable with yourself and happier with your relationships and work."

"My clients come to me for help with their relationships ...with their 'significant other', their child, their friend or business partner. They come by themself and they come with their 'other'. People come in crisis when their relationship is threatened or to avoid a potential crisis. Sometimes the crisis is the inability to find the right relationship, sometimes it's difficulty maintaining the relationship and sometimes it's difficulty achieving a satisfying connection because of difficulties understanding and communicating effectively. Specific problems cover a wide range: Trust problems,Control battles,Career/family inbalance, personal dysfunctions,teamwork problems and intimacy issues"

"For me, the goal of therapy is to create more space, mindfulness and room for growth in our daily lives. I work with you to attain this goal through gaining a deeper understanding of how past difficulties contribute to unhealthy patterns in current relationships and lifestyle choices so that you can begin living more authentically. "

"I help couples looking to repair/renew their relationship and individuals wondering why they're repeating the same relationship patterns. Difficulties around communication, affairs, separation, loss, limerence, and stagnation make it difficult to feel settled and at peace. In therapy, we'll explore and eliminate the barriers preventing you from moving forward and get you back to being your favorite version of yourself. We'll identify attainable solutions and recurring themes you're ready to leave behind."

"I adapt my working methods to the needs of each individual who applies for psychotherapy; supporting someone in understanding a crisis event such as divorce, loss of a loved person or pet, or unusual stress or trauma. I work psychoanalytically when the therapy reaches a deeper level. My overall preference is to work with adults who are ready to sit down and commit to the interplay of understanding themselves at close range. Often this need arises during times of crisis and that is always a good time for beginning this life affirming process."

"Are you feeling overwhelmed by life? Do you often feel sad, confused, anxious and angry? Call me and together we can sort through what is getting in the way of you having a full, productive, and happy life. Often, people feel overwhelmed when they don't have a full awareness of how they continue to repeat patterns learned early in life. In our work together, we can enhance your moment-to-moment awareness, decreasing "overwhelm" and increasing your ability to make the changes that you want to make. The hardest step is making the commitment to start."

"As a clinical therapist, my purpose is to center clients in the awareness that they MATTER in the world. For over 25 years I have run a private practice in New York City, working with individuals, couples and groups. My office provides a safe environment for clients to speak openly; to identify and resolve personal challenges and conflicts in order to rediscover and reach their fullest potential - leading to a joyous, healthier life. My practice is grounded in the principles of interpersonal/relational therapy, somatic experience (SE), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Goal Oriented Therapy, Spirituality, and EMDR."

"I view therapy as a collaborative interpersonal experience that can facilitate understanding and self-growth. I work to foster an open and safe therapeutic environment that is based on mutual trust. I believe that a positive therapeutic relationship is necessary for individuals to be able to recognize, understand, and work through reoccurring and at times, self-harming interpersonal patterns and their negative self-view. I have found that in coming to understand the underlying unconscious reasons for behaviors individuals are better able to learn about themselves in a unique manner that can positively impact different and seemingly unrelated aspects of their lives."

"People often seek therapy when they want to change and feel they would benefit from a therapist's unbiased perspective. Yet change is almost always threatening. At some level, people believe behaving differently will cause themselves or others harm. These beliefs contribute to feelings of depression, anxiety, loneliness, and emptiness. By listening attentively, Joe gets a sense of how his patients would like to change and what is holding them back. Joe shares his understanding of their conflicts with empathy and respect."

"My practice is informed by extensive postgraduate training and my belief that warmth, honesty, and a sense of humor are vital to the treatment relationship. My experience has given me a deep respect for the process of psychotherapy and for you as the client. I have found that when two people work together, there is enormous potential for real transformation. Together, we can resolve unwanted symptoms and change upsetting patterns, and through this process you will begin to feel better about yourself in love and at work."

"Taking this step is likely a daunting and courageous one for you. I offer a safe, supportive environment in which to help you deal with difficult problems. Whether you are unhappy, overwhelmed, struggling with your relationships or are feeling stuck regarding your personal goals, I will actively listen and help problem solve around how to make changes so you can live more freely and feel more empowered. I will help you build more awareness and self care so that you will feel better."

" If you have big aspirations in life yet feel like you're spinning your wheels - perhaps it's time to heal and grow with more ease. My therapeutic approach focuses on clearing unresolved painful past experiences that affect your confidence, creativity, and connection with others in the present. Specializing in cutting edge brain-body therapies, I help clients with stress, anxiety, and trauma, as well as with performance and creativity expansion. I particularly enjoy helping actors, artists, and creative professionals fulfill their potential in life, business, and art."

"I believe the therapy relationship and therapeutic process have the potential to transform our lives in real and meaningful ways. The fit between you and your therapist is a key element of this process. It's important for you as a client to feel safe and supported enough by your therapist that you can tolerate and receive their gentle challenges and compassionate honesty. I invite you to learn more about my approach to therapy to guide you in finding someone who is a good fit for you."

"Much of our culture considers painful emotion—whether anger, sadness, or unwelcome erotic desire—something to be avoided at all costs. In fact, all of our emotions are crucial sources of information about what is going on inside and outside us. If we avoid our painful emotions, it ultimately leaves us feeling worse and more confused. Our unexamined feelings always come out anyway, in other forms: as repetitive conflict, anxiety, depression, and physical symptoms. When we begin to thoughtfully engage with aspects of ourselves that we would prefer to avoid, long-standing negative patterns begin to change, and we start to feel better. "
