Body-Positive Therapy NYC is a specialty group psychotherapy practice with a social justice mission. Individuals and families come to us with struggles spanning the full disordered eating spectrum to heal their relationships with food and body and to rediscover their most authentic selves. We work with folks whose challenges fall at the intersection of body, food, and reproductive health, as well co-occurring concerns, such as anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, life transitions, gender identity, sexuality, and trauma. We welcome all parts of you.

Michael offers a caring, supportive, safe environment for growth. Let's face it, you just want to be happy, content, satisfied. Maybe just learning to love and accept yourself is enough. But, problems surround us constantly. It's so difficult to dream of what we want when we are consumed by what we don't have or what we might lose. How can you focus on where you want to go when right now is so difficult? What do you aspire to achieve? What are your best hopes for the future (and present)? Brief Solution-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy doesn't just work on solving past or current problems, but also on building a positive future.

My ideal client would be someone who wants to grow, learn, and deepen their relationship with themselves and others. I enjoy working with adults, LGBTQIA+ communities, and couples. I am here to create a safe healing space for all humans and experiences.

Life is an ongoing process, and there are myriad of ups and downs. We all struggle in our lives with a different level of anxiety, fear, sadness, and shame. Whatever challenges that you are facing right now, you deserved to be understood with kindness and acceptance. Psychotherapy is a safe place for you to listen and explore yourself. While it can be hard to take the first step, I am here to assist you in finding paths on your journey of discovery.

Psychotherapy is an investment in a life lived consciously and self-reflectively. With respect for the complexity of psychological problems and their uniquely subjective meaning and function for each person, the "work" of psychotherapy fosters a curiosity about ourselves, our histories, our relational patterns, our ways of thinking and behaving, and of managing stress and loss. Questions like - why do I do the things I do? Choose to be involved with this type of person? React to stress or loss this way? Why am I stuck? Sad? Empty feeling? - help us develop insight and the capacity for informed change.

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.

As a clinical neuropsychologist, it is my goal to understand the relationship between the brain and cognitive/behavioral functioning. I work with patients with a variety of neurological and neurodevelopmental disorders to help with diagnostic clarification based on the findings of a comprehensive evaluation.
