"As a clinical social worker with over twenty-five years of working as a psychotherapist, I draw on many influences to guide my work. My aim is to be a witness and guide for each person to actualize their best Self. To that end, I employ many therapeutic tools to help create new neuro-networks that help resolve past traumas and free us to live in more joy, freedom and love. In our initial phone consultation, we can discuss your general concerns and you can gain a better sense of whether or not I am the right therapist for you."

"I am a psychologist who earned my Ph.D. at NYU and completed psychoanalytic training at the NYU Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis. I have been in private practice for over 20 years, and am experienced working with children, adolescents and adults. I have an engaged, collaborative approach to my work and have experience with people from varied backgrounds and with a wide range of clinical issues including depression, anxiety, loss and illness."

"I approach psychotherapy as a creative, collaborative undertaking between therapist and client with the goal of creating a safe, healing relationship through which clients can discover and mobilize their deepest capacities for transformation. I have been in practice for over 20 years, working with clients of all ages, including adults, couples, families, young children & adolescents. Areas of expertise include depression, anxiety, trauma, bereavement, issues surrounding adoption, parenting and co-parenting after divorce. As a psychotherapist and special educator I have worked extensively with children with learning differences. "

"I have experience with adults of all ages dealing with relationship issues, struggles with life goals, depression and anxiety. I actively and empathically support each person as we explore their experience of themselves and their relationships with others. By gaining more understanding of past AND present influences on your life, new choices become available."

"I attempt to awaken your self-actualizing tendency, via acceptance (unconditional positive regard), congruence (genuineness), and empathic understanding. Accordingly, my practice is strengths based. This focus sets up a positive mindset that helps you build on your best qualities, find your strengths, improve resilience and change your worldview. I acknowledge that traumatic experience can effect your current beliefs and feelings through memories and automatic responses. My couples work combines mindfulness, assertiveness and communications skills training and helps a couple to make the adjustments necessary to rediscover each other and resolve the conflicts that separate them emotionally."

"I am empathic, warm, and personable. I communicate in a non-condescending, unpretentious way. I am not always right! I've been treating adults for over 15 years. I provide empirically validated treatments such as Psychodynamic, Relational, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. More importantly, I take great care in our relationship. Your success in and outside of therapy is my biggest concern. I stay abreast of current research and make changes accordingly; however, I know my limits and will make appropriate referrals if and when necessary. "

"'If not now, when?" I work with couples, adults, and adolescents on issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and creative blocks. I work together with you to understand the history of patterns of thinking and behavior that are no longer working for you and to gain insight into why they have developed and how to change them. We will work on how to create a more gratifying and better functioning present and future. I also draw on my many years of experience as an artist -working in film, theater, and dance and I approach the therapeutic experience as a creative collaboration."

"I enjoy working with people of all backgrounds. My approach is based on traditional psychodynamic theory but influenced by short-term counseling, cognitive therapy and yogic philosophy. With adults each person's unique personality and background determine how the treatment progresses. Goals and the length of treatment are arrived at collaboratively."

"Do you ever wish you could talk to someone who accepts you as you really are? Does something interfere with your comfort and confidence in your relationships or career? Have your vulnerabilities become obstacles to the life you'd like to live? Stress can arise at times of change, milestones (wedding, birth, religious ceremony, empty nest, retirement), illness, or family tension, leading to depression, anxiety, or marital distress. I offer collaborative, compassionate support for individuals, couples, and families. It's human to seek help-- together we can work toward a more connected, fulfilling, and joyful life for you."

"I completed my Ph.D. in clinical psychology as well as post-doctoral training in psychotherapy and contemporary psychoanalysis at New York University. I have been in private practice for over twenty years,treating adolescents and adults from a variety of backgrounds. Respectfulness, clarity and directness, tempered by humor characterize my exploratory work. In a flexible and pragmatic manner, I aim to alleviate symptoms and problems in living in the briefest possible time. Although not a sufficient reason to remain in therapy, a regular benefit is the pleasure and pride in an examined life."

"After 25 years of experience, I've learned that successful psychotherapy begins with a genuine collaborative relationship and connection with my clients - one formed in an environment of trust and safety, but with enough challenge to promote change. I work from a psychodynamic and relational perspective, actively engaging with you to explore issues including relationship and career difficulties, anxiety, depression, self -esteem, as well as addictive behaviors such as eating disorders. I integrate behavioral strategies (CBT), life coaching techniques, and mindfulness practices as needed. I want my clients to know themselves better, be able to explore new options, and learn the tools needed to change."

The goal of our work would be to work through your emotional struggles and to learn new ways of coping."

"Most of us have trouble reaching our full potential. We are limited by problems such as mistrust, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and irrational guilt. I help people free themselves from their "chains" which limit them in the areas of work, love, and relationships. In treatment I help you to become more productive, happy, confident and more pleased with yourself. As a result you are likely to become more authentic, genuine, and cooperative--and thereby become more attractive to others and sought out by them. I work with individuals, couples, and business organizations."
