Therapists in New York

Drawing from my background as editor of an arts magazine and a contemporary artist, I offer tailored psychoanalytic consulting services aimed at helping artists and other individuals tap into their imagination, surmount creative blocks, and unearth fresh inspiration. My practice is rooted in the belief that engaging with existential and metaphysical concepts, as well as understanding one's vocational essence, can pave the way for transformative growth and the realization of personal aspirations.

Before relocating to NYS to pursue clinical psychoanalysis, I was an educator and researcher, focused on human development and cross-cultural challenges. As a clinician speaking both Mandarin and English, I deeply enjoy working with and learning from clients with different languages, cultural backgrounds, religions, sexuality and gender orientations, socioeconomic status and life situations. I help adults and adolescents suffering from depression, anxiety, grief, phobias, trauma, relationship problems, adjustment issues, somatic symptoms that have no physiological explanations, and other difficulties.

I am a psychotherapist working primarily with men and young men. Clients of mine may be experiencing relationship issues, anger, anxiety, feeling down or just finding that it is time to seek professional help for reasons they can't explain. I try to work in a way that is thoughtful and collaborative. Often, this involves exploring unresolved issues from the past that may be causing difficulties now. Ultimately, my goal is to help my clients confront what is troubling them and lead more enjoyable lives.

My specialties include the treatment of depression, anxiety, destructive and self-defeating behaviors, and the many unique forms of inner anguish that defy categorization.

I have much experience, as well, treating the range of symptoms that commonly accompany significant life changes or transitions such as illness,personal losses, post partum depression, and the impact of aging.

It's amazing: talking in therapy is such a simple act, with powerful results. What keeps getting in the way of satisfaction--in relationships, in work? The patient and I form a sort of detective team to investigate this question. When self-defeating patterns of thinking and behavior come into conscious awareness, it becomes possible to make informed decisions, to act in ways that make life better. Therapy is serious, but it can be something to enjoy and look forward to. Depression and anxiety, isolation, anger, loneliness--all are states that we can address in treatment, with understanding, patience and respect.

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 active therapist, I help individuals, couples, families, and children identify and transform the story that has been governing their life. It is my belief, that with the right support everyone has the innate capability to show up and transform their life. Past or present circumstances may have created pain or a belief of powerlessness, but these circumstances do not define you. You can reclaim your power and sense of authorship over your own life. In the words of Marianne Wiliamson, " Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure."
