Greenwich Village, New York, NY 10011
I am a licensed psychotherapist with 10 years of experience treating depression, bi-polar, anxiety/panic, OCD, psychosis, grief, trauma, difficulties with work/career, family conflicts, adjustment to illness/disability, and relationship and sexuality issues.
A strong, positive therapeutic relationship is our starting point. Your wellness and growth in self-understanding and self-acceptance are our guiding priorities. I provide a safe, judgment-free environment in which we explore, together, how best to alleviate the suffering, distress, obstacles, and blockages that bring you to therapy. Beyond just reducing symptoms, we identify underlying issues/patterns to heal their emotional origins. Each session is responsive to your current needs. Sometimes this means focusing on deeper insights; at other times, we may work on more immediate strategies for coping with especially difficult or painful moments in your life.

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.

As an immigrant myself, I develop my passion to work with international students and American born Asian American who has been struggling with bridging their family dynamic challenge.
A necessary part of life is facing difficult situations that will be hard to understand, and thus we seek validation. When you are overwhelmed with emotions, you are unable to address them and respond negatively. You might be aware of your sadness, anxiety, fears, and shame. In that process, you could uncover a lot of how you defend yourself from rejection or part of our vulnerable self both consciously and unconsciously. I start my private practice by incorporating my experiences to work with clients who struggling with depression, anxiety, and emotional dysregulation, relationship problems and acculturation issues.

I work with adults and couples with multiple and varied issues, including chemical dependency, mood disorders, relationship and family problems, and psychotic disorders.
We are defined by our relationships. Relationship to ourselves, to others and to the world. Relationship dynamics get formed in attempts to succeed in life. Though sometimes we may succeed in relationship at certain points in life, those same dynamics can also become unproductive. At that point we can use the dynamic to understand the problem and determine the adjustments that then lead to success once again.

Many of us struggle with the wish to be close to a lover/partner/spouse while simultaneously feeling fearful of risking vulnerability. Past hurts, traumas in childhood or adolescence, negative family messages about sexuality, body image issues, present-day stresses, betrayals of trust, and experiences of loss, may all contribute to this hesitancy. As an AASECT Certified couples and sex therapist, I will work with you individually and/or in couples' sessions to develop a better understanding of what holds you back from experiencing the deeper physical and emotional intimacy you desire.

Through this approach, I hope to help you identify and achieve your goals in the here and now, while still focusing on past family history, childhood experiences, attachment style, and relationship patterns.
I believe one of the most important parts of the therapeutic relationship is to create a safe, objective, and supportive space for the client. Whether this be your first time in therapy, or your 100th, I seek to help create that space in order for you to process difficult emotions and examine coping mechanisms that may no longer be serving you. Through our work together, I aim to help you create a life full of meaning, while supporting however you define that. I operate from an integrated approach which combines holistic evidence-based practices combined with psychotherapeutic techniques.

I am trained as a psychodynamic therapist and also often integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS).
Often people enter therapy frustrated and confused about parts of themselves acting in ways they don't understand. Why can’t I stop drinking? Why am I eating when I am not hungry? Why am having trouble ending a relationship? Why am I bored and unfulfilled? I believe that without extending curiosity towards the parts of ourselves seem to stand in our own way, we will remain stuck. Our frustration and confusion is often internal, not external, and learning how to understand oneself through therapy can often lead to increased clarity, presence, and connection with oneself and others.

At some point along the way, we all struggle with something. Family, career, relationships, depression, anxiety---something---and we need help to get unstuck and move towards living a more satisfying and authentic life. This is where psychotherapy comes in. I truly believe in its power to bring about personal transformation, help us better understand ourselves, and work through life's difficulties. Life isn't easy, and often, seeking help isn't either. But finding a therapist that you feel comfortable with is the courageous first step.

Family Therapy
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
