Most people try to solve problems on their own. But apparently unsolvable arguments with spouses, relatives, phobias, infidelity, porn addiction, depression, anxiety, temper outbursts, obsessions & workaholism require a educated, neutral third party to help figure out what's going on. I obtained as much training as I could in psychiatry, psychoanalysis, & treatment technique. I try to help patients become aware of their current conflicts and the effects of both recent and remote difficulties so they resolve problems & finish treatment. Confidentiality is critical. You will not see anyone else except me in my office or on zoom.
In my books, 101 Defenses (2004, 2021) and Get the Diagnosis Right (2010, 2018), I describe the process of helping patients organize their material and deduce their unconscious defenses and conflicts. This is done through empathy with a variety of developmental theories applied. A good fit between patient and therapist is required.
When you call, my office manager will take your identifying information on the phone. Then I will call you personally to find out more and make a preliminary decision about whether I think I can help. I can see patients on zoom or in my private office.
