Do you sometimes feel misunderstood or judged because you don't have mainstream beliefs or a cookie-cutter lifestyle?
Have you hesitated going to therapy (even though a part of you would like to get a second opinion about issues that keep cropping up) because you thought the person wouldn't "get" you?
Well, maybe I'm the right therapist for you. I came to NYC 1984 to see bands and explore art and then bartended in the E. Village for many years before becoming a therapist. I refuse to be pigeonholed so I won't do that with you.

Like many others who have come to PT's therapist locator, you're likely anxious, depressed, and stressed: anxious over an unsatisfying social life, depressed by family members who intrude too much or fail to be there for you at all, stressed in your search for a loving partner. Caught in a morass of negative feelings, probably amplified by self-doubt, you're having trouble seeing a path forward and hope that working with a therapist can help. While no therapist can guarantee success, we know from research that three-quarters of those who see a therapist find it beneficial, so give yourself credit for taking this step.

Let's be real, the idea of starting or resuming therapy can be terrifying. For first timers, the thought of sharing personal information with a virtual stranger can be anxiety provoking and for those who have gone to therapy in the past, but had a bad experience, there is probably reluctance to try it again. I understand, because once upon a time, I was just a regular guy looking for some help and sought out therapy, My first experience was less than amazing, but eventually I gave it another shot. My experience was so positive that I quit my job as an investment banker and went back to school to become a therapist.

While I have a commitment to those people who are experiencing anxiety and/or depression having to do with disruptive life changes. At the present time the Pandemic has forced the need to change, even so many of the habits that have worked for us. The sense of isolation has exponentially heightened fears and whatever loneliness existed before is exacerbated. This has changed my practice both physically and as it relates to style. Support is so necessary to guide the way to management of fears and management of major transitions. My background includes many years at the Out Patient Unit of the Veterans Hospital Post Traumatic Stress

My clients are committed to finding ways to manage their struggles, but also to go deeper—to understand the patterns shaping their choices, and begin moving toward greater clarity, direction, and a renewed sense of possibility.

I received my training from Columbia University, with advanced clinical training in psychoanalysis from the American Institute for Psychoanalysis in NYC.
My focus is helping people alleviate their emotional pain by understanding themselves, accurately. Simply put, when we understand ourselves, we can ‘stand under’ ourselves.
Our reasons for starting therapy differ in terms of how problems and circumstances influence our lives. I work with adults seeking relief from anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship issues, identity issues, and life stressors (like grief, divorce, job loss, life-stage crises, and career change).

Something keeps happening. In your relationships, in the way certain feelings seem to follow you from one chapter of life to the next. You may have tried to understand it already, through therapy, through self-reflection, through sheer force of will. And yet something persists. I work with people who are ready to understand not just what is happening, but why and what it might mean to finally change it. My approach is psychodynamic and attachment-based, which means we go beneath the surface.

Many people who come to see me appear successful on the outside, yet privately struggle with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or relationships that no longer feel supportive or satisfying. Others carry a lingering sense of unease or disconnection, as if something important is missing or stuck. These experiences can feel isolating and difficult to talk about, especially when shame or self-doubt is involved. Therapy offers a place to slow down, make sense of what’s happening, and begin to feel more grounded and hopeful.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors.
Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the United States could cost between $100 and $200 or more. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship. Therapists in the United States are bound by the regulations set out by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which aims to protect sensitive health information. With very few exceptions, a therapist will only discuss their client with others when the client has given their written permission. The instances in which a therapist would be required to disclose personal information are: if a client poses a danger to themselves or others, if the therapist suspects the abuse of a child or an elderly or otherwise dependent adult, or if they are legally forced to by court order. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed with a client before their first session.
