ONLY OFFERING VIRTUAL SESSIONS RIGHT NOW: Maybe things aren’t working out the way you want or expected them to, and you don’t know how to make changes that will stick. What’s getting in the way? Are you having difficulty communicating and navigating intimacy issues with your partner; tolerating intense feelings or moods; reconciling a traumatic history? Whether it be in our loves or careers, parenting, facing illness and loss, or just watching ourselves and our partners age — all too often, in the midst of this complex and busy life, we find ourselves wondering: what do I do now? How do I best respond?

I am an interactive psychotherapist with advanced experience in Couples Therapy, Cognitive Therapy and Modern Psychodynamic Therapy. I help individuals and couples suffering from symptoms of depression, anxiety or problems in their relationships. Often clients come to me feeling stuck or confused about relationships and careers that keep them from engaging more fully in life. I help them to understand the problems, remove the obstacles, and live a life more in tune with their true nature. Having grown up in a family of therapists and worked through many of my own similar issues, I know personally and professionally the vast rewards of good therapy.

Do you feel overwhelmed, stressed, or unhappy? My job is to help you find the strength and serenity to thrive. I have years of experience helping people overcome problems in stressful careers or difficult relationships, or facing important choices or unexpected events. I work well with people who feel depressed or anxious, who feel like their lives haven't gone in the right direction, or who have trouble believing in themselves. I see people from diverse backgrounds and multiple careers, like physicians, bankers, drivers, diplomats, designers, social workers, and technology professionals.

I listen, carefully, to you. We can discuss, together, what you want to be different in your life or your relationships. Reducing stress and understanding sadness, indecision or work problems- can all help your mood. Perhaps you want to find a meaningful romantic relationship or improve other relationships. My approach includes helping you to clarify what works and what doesn't work in your life, within a confidential setting. Often speaking with a professional can bring some relief to feelings of depression, anxiety and uncertainty.

How do we know when we're healed, "fixed", back to ourselves? There's a lightening up, a kinder voice in our heads, a bursting generosity and restored sense of purpose. And how does one get there with an integrative therapist? We start with The Here and Now. Forming I Fear/ I Wish statements. Figuring out which Selves survived that little t or Big T trauma. Listing the constricting beliefs of your Inner Critic. Inviting you (and your partner?) to play with new self-talk, role-play, power poses or traditions. Maybe diagramming intergenerational intel to re-write the future.

Are you feeling sad, down, or exhausted? Do you often feel overwhelmed with worry and fear? Are you feeling stuck in a rut or constantly stressed out? You are not alone! Many of my clients begin therapy with me because they are struggling with persistent and overwhelming feelings of sadness or fear, are struggling in their relationships, or are feeling stressed out and stuck. My clients leave therapy feeling relief from their emotional pain, with deeper insight and specific tools that help them to thrive personally and professionally, and to lead more fulfilling lives.

Many of us are currently dealing with symptoms of depression, anxiety, feelings of isolation, work, financial or interpersonal stress. Therapy can help deal with these emotions and difficult situations. Our patient centered psychodynamic approach can help alleviate some of these feelings. An empathetic listener can help you clarify the issues that may be contributing to them. and build the strength to resolve your problems.

I work with individuals and couples who would like to gain a deeper understanding of their internal processes, thoughts and behaviors. I provide psychodynamic and supportive psychotherapy for patients who struggle with various issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship conflicts, trauma and body image.

I specialize in individual, couples, and group psychotherapy with adolescents, adults, and older adults. I operate from a psychodynamic (relational) framework, although I have the training and experience to adapt my style to best suit each client's individual needs. I encourage curiosity in the therapy room with an emphasis on reserving judgment; I believe that through increased awareness of ourselves, as opposed to labeling our thoughts, feelings, and actions as good or bad, the more we can grow. I strive to create a safe, intimate environment that balances nurturing and support with challenging one's preconceived notions and beliefs.

My clients (individuals and couples) come to me with challenges in their relationships, adjusting to life transitions, navigating the role of parenthood, and at times, the inexplicable feeling of emptiness or feeling alone. Feelings and moods associated with these and other struggles, such as anxiety and depression can manifest as self-defeating behavior and create a version of ourselves and our lives which is not what we want.

We are surrounded by a story that unwanted feelings are pathological, an illness to be eradicated by taking medication, relentlessly policing thoughts, and consuming a never-ending supply of self-care products and services. Taken alone, that narrative can conceal deeper causes of distress by focusing solely on how well you adjust to and cope with their effects. Lasting relief requires a more holistic approach, one that accurately identifies and addresses the personal, social, and structural barriers that are keeping you stuck.

Tal Gershon, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor at Looking Glass Psychology, provides comprehensive mental health support for Adult Individuals and Couples located in New York, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut.

As a couples counselor, I help partners resolve conflicts through learning how to compromise and how to talk to each other more respectfully. Couples reach specific agreements which may involve sex and intimacy, money, substance use, in-laws, parenting, or household responsibilities. I establish clear interactive guidelines which focus on not bringing up the negative past, playing the blame game, or making dismissive comments about the relationship. A core premise of my work is that almost almost any relationship problem can be resolved as long as couples are committed to each other and open to changing how they communicate.

I view therapy as a chance to solve problems, improve relationships, get support, and increase self-awareness by exploring your thoughts and feelings. I work with individuals and couples using a modern psychodynamic approach. My style is interactive and engaged as we work to resolve current problems and explore how the past has shaped you.

I want to foster a relationship with my clients where they feel comfortable discussing the possibilities of change. I have spent many years working in the creative arts, the restaurant industry, and with adolescents and families. I am no stranger to heightened levels of resilience, empathy, and patience. I wish to create a safe place where introspection and exploration leads you to asking more questions and clarifying your goals. The strength of our therapeutic relationship will foster your ability for growth and human connection. I very much look forward to working with you.
