Hello, a bit about myself and my style: I established my practice in NYC in 1995, and have been helping clients maximize their potential and resolve patterns that impede that development. Today my practice is styled along the lines of a concierge: independent in home, office or virtual. I look forward to hearing from you soon. All the best, Dr Kevin

As a native New Yorker, business owner, and busy parent, I understand the difficulty in saying "no", setting boundaries, and maintaining relationships outside of the family. You may feel guilt or shame for taking time for yourself. You may feel like you have no idea what you're doing at times, and perhaps burnout that makes you feel like you're hanging on by a thread. You may feel like you're always doing something but at the same time feel like you're not doing enough. That's because you're not prioritizing your own needs. I work with parents, particularly parents who have had pre-term babies and children who are differently abled.

Attachment-based Therapists
Is attachment-based therapy the same as attachment therapy?
Attachment-based therapy may be confused with what is called “attachment therapy” (sometimes called “holding therapy”), a discredited and dangerous approach to treating children with attachment disorders, autism, or other mental health concerns. Attachment therapy—not attachment-based therapy—may involve restraining a child, forcing eye contact, and other coercive or abusive techniques. None of these practices are used in attachment-based therapy and the two modalities are in no way related.
What should I expect from attachment-based therapy?
Attachment-based therapy is based on attachment theory, which posits that children’s early relationships with their caregivers strongly influence their ability to navigate the world later in life. Thus, adults who seek attachment-based therapy should expect to deeply explore their childhood, identifying the dynamics or experiences that disrupted their attachment and the steps necessary to overcome challenges that arose as a result. Parents and children should expect to explore the possible factors that disrupted the parent-child relationship and work toward restoring trust and connection.
How long does attachment-based therapy last?
Certain forms of attachment-based therapy, especially those designed for parents and children, last for a set number of sessions; for example, Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch-Up, a specific attachment-based approach for young children who have undergone early adversity, unfolds over 10 one-hour sessions. When attachment-based therapy is practiced on adults or combined with other modalities, it may not last a specific length of time; clients may wish to ask prospective therapists how long they expect treatment to take.
Does attachment-based therapy work?
Most of the research on attachment-based therapy focuses on children and adolescents. Some of this research shows a positive effect, especially for attachment-based family therapy (ABFT). Other studies, however, have found that attachment-based therapy is no more effective than other approaches to childhood depression, anxiety, or suicidality. Less is known about the therapy’s efficacy on adult populations.
