My goal is to combine my compassionate approach with evidence-based methods which I tailor to each individual. Through my therapeutic services, I work to build an authentic relationship not only with each child I see, but also with their family. Rather than placing your child into a predetermined box, I consider their developmental stage, and we will work collaboratively to understand their strengths and challenges and address their needs. Most importantly, I always meet each client exactly where they are on their journey.

Much of my practice technique works to restore self esteem and dignity which are problems as a result of trauma and addiction. My personal experience is conducive to the work that takes place. I create a positive therapeutic alliance that is safe, and confidential. Addictions are treatable. Everyone can get sober, and in doing so you can live a "Quality of Life" that you deserve. Make the call and we can discuss your situation, confidentially and together make a plan to get; "Clean and Sober ". My promise to you that we can make it affordable.

My job is to help you when you don't have all the answers yourself. I have significant clinical experience with children, adolescents and adults, with a wide variety of issues. I work passionately to help my clients, using an eclectic approach determined solely by their needs. I work closely with other professionals with different specialties, and I will not hesitate to refer you to whoever I believe can help you best. Frequently, I work collaboratively with such specialists, especially if medication is involved. (I also feel very fortunate to be a frequent referral for many doctors, psychologists and psychiatrists.)

I am a licensed Psychologist in private practice for over 23 years here to support you to develop healthy connections and to find safety, peace, & joy in your life, and to help you feel understood, valued, and respected. I provide counseling and psychotherapy to adolescents, adults, & couples around mood disorders, interpersonal problems, substance abuse, and family conflict. I conduct psychological assessments, including for adoptions, as well as substance abuse evaluations to assess for level of care needs. I complete evaluations in Court-ordered and Attorney-referred cases, including in civil, criminal & child protection matters.

As a child/adolescent therapist and parent-child specialist, I know that parenting will always have its challenges and that a certain amount of stress is inevitable, even under the best of circumstances. However, this current pandemic, with its consequent uncertainties and increased challenges and stresses on families, is unprecedented. If you are a parent who is having difficulties or are the parent of a young child, teen or young adult who is having difficulties, talking to a professional can be helpful.

I believe that therapy can be an enjoyable, comforting, challenging, and moving process. I recognize how difficult it can be for clients to show up consistently for themselves and put in the work. It’s a privilege to be able to guide my clients through this process and I do my best to support them in whatever ways needed. I strive to create a safe and judgement-free space where clients can be vulnerable.

My approach to therapy is practical With over 30 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults I focus my energy with clients on the present. I help my clients identify their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that are creating difficulties for them. I will help you use skills you already have or develop new techniques for managing difficulties in your life. If issues from the past are keeping you from managing your present life we will work together to neutralize issues from the past, so you can manage current life stresses with current, more effective techniques.

I have been in private practice for more than 15 years and pride myself on helping individuals develop a strong sense of identity. I received my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from The New School for Social Research and have extensive training from Beth Israel Medical Center, North Central Bronx Hospital, Lenox Hill Hospital, and New York Presbyterian Hospital. I practice in Westport, CT, and Manhattan, NY. I work with families, adults, children, and adolescents suffering from mood, anxiety, and eating disorders, and help cope with life transitions, including parenthood, divorce, emerging adulthood, medical illness, and end-of-life.

I am a child and family therapist who prefers to work with children who show oppositional behavior and other problematic behaviors. Are you experiencing difficulty communicating with your child? Do you feel like you're trying to help your child but your child doesn't recognize this? Perhaps you are aware that something is bothering your child but you and your child can't put your finger on it. You may have heard from the school that your child is having difficulty in school and your having trouble identifying what is causing this.

Happiness and fulfillment in life is achieved when the relationships with our inner self, our partner, and our family members are harmonious. Harmony is a process, not a result. I strategize with my clients, who are sick of the status quo, to help them identify areas in their individual, marital, and familial lives that can facilitate peaceful resolutions.

Whether with partners, family, friends, children, parents or at your work, relationships are the centerpieces of our lives. Handled thoughtfully, they uplift, or they can frustrate, provoke guilt and aggravate. For twenty-five years I have helped people to find greater satisfaction through better understanding of the events in their lives, along with honest discussions of options and helping to find the motivation to move forward. I have published articles about marriage, parenting, and growing healthier relationships, and a book: HOW TO KNOW IF ITS TIME TO GO. Website: lbirnbach.com. I work interactively and confidentially.

Our therapeutic approach at Strategic Solutions utilizes a brief, problem solving model that focuses on understanding and treating problems within their intimate context. The goal of therapy is to resolve the presenting problem while fostering supportive, functional relationships. Family problems are embedded in relationship patterns, which can become unproductive and perpetuate, rather than solve problems. Our approach is strength-based and outcome oriented. The focus of therapy is understanding the client's goals for change and then working together to solve those problems directly.
