I am a clinical psychologist providing therapy and assessment services in Scarsdale and Greenwich. I treat various conditions, such as depression, anxiety, behavioral problems, social anxiety, and school/work issues. I also focus on life transitions, whether that be a recent move, transition from college, changes in family dynamics, or changes in significant relationships. Furthermore, I have extensive experience in conducting psychological assessments. Therapeutically, I focus on developing teens and adults, where as I provide assessments for all ages.

We are a group of clinicians who offer comprehensive psychotherapy, pregnancy and postpartum support, neuropsych testing, and speech-language services for children, adolescents, adults, and families.

I am a couples and family therapist who offers collaborative partnership based in curiosity, respect, and empathy. I believe in empowering, honoring, and celebrating your authentic self.

I'm a dedicated psychotherapist with an extensive and diverse background, spanning private practice, schools, college clinics, foster care, and hospitals, including acute care. With a passion for treating individuals of all ages, I specialize in harnessing the power of evidence-based therapies to create long-lasting positive change, focusing on the core of issues, rather than surface change. I take pride in fostering a safe, warm, and compassionate environment that embraces the unique perspectives of clients from diverse backgrounds. Even the most resistant patients find themselves engaged in the therapeutic process under my care.

We all experience struggles and times when we just don’t feel good. My job is to cheer you on and help you through both the hard times and the good times so you can achieve your goals in a way that feels authentic and meaningful. It can be hard to understand our emotions and overwhelming to decide what next steps we should take. Therapy is a judgment-free zone to explore those topics and more so you can heal and grow. Together we will co-create a space and bond where you can experience therapy as a practice of freedom and resilience. My goal is to work collaboratively to ensure you feel safe and empowered in yourself.

Hello! My name is Max, and I am a social worker and psychotherapist. I have worked in community mental health for the past decade in a diverse range of settings from food pantries to substance use treatment, crisis counseling to supportive housing. I am passionate about getting people through a rough patch in their life or unpacking painful experiences from the past. The world we live in today can be incredibly overwhelming, and I’m glad that you are here looking for a listening ear. You deserve it! I am antiracist and a member of the queer community, and I love providing knowledgeable support to people across all cultural groups.

I believe in meeting individuals where they are at and supporting them in achieving resiliency. By taking a compassionate and genuine approach, my goal is to help you feel understood and supported. Through collaboration, our work will focus on gaining awareness into patterns and dilemmas, and using your fundamental strengths to lead a meaningful life and cope with the stressors that inevitably come with it. A main focus of my work is to maintain an empathic, warm, and non-judgmental approach as the complex pieces of your story are shared over time.

Adolescents, especially neurodiverse middle & high schoolers, are increasingly reporting social isolation. For some, reaching out and trying to connect can be so filled with pressure & doubt, so dispiriting when it doesn’t work out, that they opt out. Others feel variations of overwhelmed, angry, or alienated. These kids have a lot to offer, but struggle to navigate our hidden, often irrational social rulebook, and their practical opportunities have often dried up. They deserve a psychologically safe place where they can pursue their passions alongside peers. I've created groups and reserved 1:1 sessions to address this need.

Hello, whether this is your first time seeking therapy, or you are looking for a fresh perspective, it is important to find the right fit. I bring thirty years of experience, listening, and thinking to help us build a relationship of mutual trust. Sometimes when you really feel heard, you begin to hear yourself differently, and surprising new directions emerge. If appropriate I may use Focusing, as developed by Eugene Gendlin, to help you find next steps, when you gently bring your awareness into your "body knowing" of a situation. Depression and anxiety may then lessen.

I have been working with people faced with significant loss for the past thirty years. People often ask me if this work is depressing - I always say that the stories I hear are not only stories of loss - they are love stories. We grieve becaue we love. Sometimes that love is complicated, and so the grief is complicated. Sometimes the loss changes us in ways that we feel are unbearable and unsustainable. My work is about helping you move from a state of deep pain and preoccupation with loss to a place where you can reengage with life.

Some folx also struggle with low self esteem, body image issues, shame/guilt around sexuality and gender identity, difficulty connecting with others, family of origin issues, motivation and other stressors such as work and home life.

My therapeutic approach includes creating an environment where one can feel safe to freely express needs and desires without fear, shame or guilt. Often, a byproduct of this process is to become more comfortable and accepting of yourself. Clarity and confidence are newly discovered benefits of the therapy experience. My 25 years of experience provides me with the professional skills to assess and diagnose an individual. I set reachable goals and identify under-lying psychological barriers that can interfere with reaching your potential. My experience enables me to examine the complexities of unconscious habits.

I started my social work career working with children and families.

I believe in enabling clients to work in the here and now to make good choices based on sound understanding of their motivations.
