Therapists in Upper East Side, New York, NY

Over 24 years, I have had the privilege to work with young and older adults seeking improvement in relationships, job and school functioning, self awareness and overall quality of life by addressing substance use problems. As Coordinator of Substance Abuse Services at Columbia University Medical Center from 2004-2015, I have cultivated a complex understanding of addiction and offer consultations to identify an appropriate therapy to meet your treatment goals. Initially you will provide a history of your substance use. Understanding its pattern and relationship to your mood allows you to become more knowledgeable thus, empowered, in addressing your addiction.

Therapy that reduces suffering and increases success in love and work: these are my goals. I have a unique range of preparation for this work: psychologist, clinical social worker, psychoanalyst, and professor to many clinical practitioners, and 30+ years of practice, I can meet each person or couple with an approach that is tailored to their specific needs. Anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions, eating disorders, relational problems - among others, these problems of living are possible to resolve or significantly reduce, and I have had success in working with all these as well as other difficulties. My focus is wellness.

Prioritizing mental health is paramount to improving your wellbeing and quality of life. Together we can develop goals that are relevant to your own unique character, culture and values. Although the approach to treatment is evidence based and often theoretical, your life experience and story will remain the most valuable point of reference.
