I am a neuropsychologist providing neuropsych assessments to preschoolers through young adults with learning and psychiatric issues. My primary goals are to provide families with thorough evaluations, timely reports written in user-friendly language, and a willingness to collaborate with school personnel and other professionals who may be working with their child. Therapeutically, I am also a certified provider of the Collaborative and Proactive Solutions (CPS) approach, helping parents and children find realistic solutions that address their concerns regarding a wide range of issues, unsolved problems, and unmet expectations.

I conduct neuropsychological evaluations with children, adolescents, and adults. For students, families typically seek out these assessments when something is interfering with their child's progress, whether academic, behavioral, or emotional. For adults, clients may need help determining why they are not performing to their potential, or working as efficiently as they would like.

Whether you are seeking relief for a specific issue, symptom or problem or feeling a longing to improve the quality and meaning of your life and develop your potential, therapy is a path seriously worth exploring. Moreover, our symptoms, depressions, anxieties and fears, our addictions and old habit patterns create a wall in front of us as we strive to move forward. Left solely to our own devices change can evoke high anxiety and include a resurgence of old negative or depressive messages and "what-if?" thinking. We may doubt ourselves,our capacities in learning, work ,communication or love, even play.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) approaches for treating youth and adults with a range of difficulties. I have over 15 years of experience supporting people to actively improve their lives. Through rigorous training in Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I support mood disorders, self-worth, shame, guilt, trauma, and anxiety disorders, including obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), panic, and social anxiety. I also work with parents and children to support school-based challenges.

I am a clinical psychologist who has 15 years of experience providing psychotherapy to individuals with a variety of issues including anxiety, stress management, relationship concerns, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and depression. I have experience working with individuals within the LGBTQ community, as well as adolescents, and those struggling with compulsive behaviors. My background and training also allows him to assist clients in exploring matters of faith and spirituality should they so desire. I work to create an open, non-judgmental space whereby individuals can begin to explore important life questions and develop new ways of being and coping.

With over 25 years experience, I offer cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy with teens/adults who experience mood, relationship, and eating disordered issues. Whatever brings you in, we focus on self-understanding and making small yet effective changes that let you be heard, connect, and thrive. Second, neuropsychological evaluations let us pinpoint learning or attentional issues that compromise performance, achievement, and self-esteem. My dual focus allows for a broader understanding of what prevents one from reaching their true potential, which then guides comprehensive recommendations. Couple and family sessions are also offered.

My work as a clinical psychologist has grown out of my interest in the interplay of how we develop, what we experience, and how we make our way through our challenges. My commitment in the therapeutic process is to a thoughtful understanding of how your experiences have brought you to this point and what the underlying causes of difficulty in your life are. Through our collaboration we work in an atmosphere of respect to deepen that understanding, reduce distress, create better ways of coping, promote healing, and structure changes that allow for greater balance and the possibility of joy.

I work with children, teens and adults experiencing anxiety, life transitions and conflict with relationships. Many individuals I work with are highly creative, intuitive, emotionally attuned, engaging and charismatic, but often feel misunderstood.

Psychological evaluations (also referred to as ‘testing’ or ‘assessment’) can help children, adolescents, and adults better understand their behavior, functioning, cognition, mood, and personality. Evaluations are likely warranted in the presence of suspected ADHD; difficulties with attention, concentration, and/or hyperactivity; persistent academic difficulties (e.g., reading, writing, math); social, behavioral, and/or emotional difficulties; inability to engage in real-life skills (e.g., grooming, getting dressed, etc.); and/or psychological symptoms that have not responded to treatment (e.g., paranoia, severe anxiety, etc.).

I am a New York State licensed and board-certified creative art therapist providing treatment for young people and adults. My approach is strength based, client centered and deeply grounded in the restorative power of the creative process. A strong therapeutic alliance fostered through trust, understanding and collaboration is essential in cultivating positive change. I deeply value the use of art making to facilitate authentic self-expression, increase self-awareness, and promote self-acceptance. “Art is a way of recognizing oneself...” -Louise Bourgeois

Growth is beautiful, although at times, it’s not pretty. I’m here to support you through this process, tap into your intrinsic ability to heal, and achieve your full potential. My clients are adults and adolescents who are tired of feeling mentorless, stuck, or afraid of failure and want to change their lives. Whether they’re dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or grief, I work with clients in a relational, experiential way to engage their intrinsic capacity to heal. Your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are asking you to slow down and nurture your internal world.

Change is rarely easy. Life comes with changes that sometimes can feel overwhelming to navigate. Acknowledgment is the first step, and seeking help comes next. My approach is to meet you where you are, in a genuine and empathetic way. I provide a neutral, non-judgmental, yet challenging environment to explore and find positive coping strategies. I believe positive coping strategies empower us to live better lives and handle change effectively. I will walk with you on this path of your life, and will help you to become who you are destined to be.

My background and training as an Art Therapist was a major determinant in my decision to become a Psychologist and Psychoanalyst. I was enthralled by the power, curative possibilities and revealing nature in the creative process. As a result, my area of particular interest is in working with artists, writers, photographers and individuals in the theater and music industry. I am an interactive therapist with extensive postgraduate training. When possible, I use humor in our sessions, pretty well I am told, a bit of sarcasm now and then as well!

It can be really daunting to start therapy with a new person. Whether it’s the anxiety of opening up to a stranger, or feeling afraid of judgment; starting anew creates a lot of uncertainty and new challenges. No matter what the reasons are, they are completely valid, and if you allow me, I am here to help you every step of the way.

Psychotherapy is simultaneously one of the most difficult and most rewarding things one can do. Honestly confronting the patterns of thinking, feeling, and behavior that maintain the life you have and understanding the roots of your values, beliefs, and desires can be hard work, but it is also the best way to break old habits and start to live a life you want to live. People often report repeating behaviors that feel natural to them but that result in the same painful outcomes: dating the same type of partner, getting into the same arguments, feeling the same anxiety or ambient-sadness.

Hi, everyone! I recognize that mental health is much more than what's happening mentally, but also deals with issues of physical health, social and environmental factors, and relationships. I'm culturally competent in several areas such as race, sexuality, gender identity, religion, and disability and have specialization in working with autistic individuals, individuals with ADHD, and children.

Life can be difficult at times. For many of us protecting ourselves from knowing our suffering can take the form of troubling emotional symptoms, self-destructiveness as well as anxieties and inhibitions. Yet it is precisely these symptoms we must take the time to listen to as messages communicating something essential and understandable about our suffering, fears, and wishes - the emotional meanings of our personal history. By listening to you closely and carefully, we will explore together thoughts and feelings that were previously unknown to you yet powerfully affect your life. Talking changes the way things look.

I am an experienced psychotherapist with 25 years of clinical practice. I will work with you as an individual, couple or family to improve the relationships in your life. I have a warm, easily approachable and interactive style in my work with clients. As teaching faculty and a member of the Developing Child and Family at the Ackerman Institute for the Family I specialize in working with parents, children and adolescents. I have had extensive training and experience in couples and family therapy.

It requires a lot of strength and courage to ask for help. Reaching out can be scary and unsettling, but you don't have to do it alone. I acknowledge what it took for you to seek help, and want to provide a safe, warm and comfortable environment for you to talk and open up. A strong therapeutic alliance is the key in ensuring honest, open, and constructive communication. In my sessions, I like to work together as two experts tackling your problems. I am direct, interactive, and genuine and will always be honest and upfront with you.
