"The client I see in my practice is motived in her/his pursuit for inner-growth, healing, and well being. She/he has an appreciation for the transpersonal aspects of life, a curiosity for learning about subconscious processes, and an attitude towards health that is grounded in mindfulness. Besides Holistic, my approach to the therapeutic relationship is one of sponsorship, collaboration and respect for each person's healing journey and creed. My purpose is to encourage the spiritual and psychological inner work that is called for to attain wellness, and to offer resources as they may be needed."

"Are you feeling bogged down by the many stressors you are faced with? Do you notice yourself becoming increasingly unmotivated and unhappy with your job, with the nature of your interpersonal relationships, or with the activities that you once found fulfilling? When life becomes challenging, it can be difficult to single-handedly navigate the complex emotions that arise within you. Therapy can provide a safe and supportive space for you to process your feelings, learn new ways to cope, and understand the root causes of why you might be feeling “stuck” or “helpless.”"

"I've maintained a psychotherapy private practice in Lower Manhattan for more than a decade - and have recently moved to a new office in a loft in TriBeCa. I have a rich and varied practice, ranging widely in ages and backgrounds. As a former corporate lawyer, I've developed a sub-specialty in working with attorneys and finance professionals around career issues, but I'm also gay and have worked with plenty of LGBT people and all sorts of people around just about anything. I welcome one and all."

"I use my training and experience to provide real guidance to people wishing to remove blocks to personal and professional fulfillment, develop a deeper understanding of themselves, and confront negative patterns of behavior. As a professor of clinical practice with individuals, families and groups at New York University, I teach my students to appreciate both the science and the art of psychotherapy. I believe that psychotherapy is most successful in an atmosphere of warmth, humor, and nonjudgmental support. As a psychotherapist, I try to create a professional atmosphere for playful exploration."

"I received my doctorate in clinical psychology fro Un. of California, Berkeley in 1994. an M.S. in clinical psychology from San Francisco State University, and a B.A. in comparative literature from Un. of Iowa.In private practice for seventeen years, I've worked with young children/mothers- early attachment issues, families - divorce, psychoanalytic couples therapy, adults in long term psychoanalytic therapy, depression, anxiety, disordered eating, gay and lesbian issues, psychosomatic issues. I have a background and continuing interest in psychotherapy research, language and poetry."

"I help people find their inner strengths, which may be difficult to recognize during times of stress, anxiety, depression or trauma. I offer a holistic, experiential approach to therapy that includes talk, creative expression and body-mind awareness. You can expect our work together to be collaborative and relational. With a warm, grounded and compassionate presence I offer you support to challenge old patterns and create a fulfilling life."

"Finding an affirmative therapist can be a difficult & complex process. For many of us, living as our authentic selves can be challenging. Sometimes there are multiple barriers & difficult decisions ahead. You don’t have to navigate it all alone. Whether gender identity or sexuality is a focus of treatment or you're dealing with other unrelated things, a therapist with a solid knowledge base & understanding of your needs & background is crucial. Many clients work with me because of my expertise & years of experience, or because they prefer working with a therapist who has first-hand knowledge of trans/queer identities. "

"**Booked for therapy til end of the year. Life coaching slots avail. now call 518-689-0244 ext 24** If you are someone who wants to engage in a journey of self improvement and feels stuck in their current life situation you are not alone. I work with people who want to live a different version of their life but may feel there is no way out. Sometimes people's self-esteem get knocked down along the way. It is often hard to do this alone and you may only need some guidance or motivation to help and sometimes you need more assistance and insight. I believe everyone has the answer inside of them and they are the experts of themselves. "

"It's hard to change - but with support it becomes possible. You might be struggling with difficult thoughts like "what if my family never accepts my life choices - will they ever accept me?" Perhaps you're battling indecisiveness and fear about whether you're "good enough" to succeed, preventing you from reaching your aspirations and goals? Or maybe you feel confident and successful at times, but at other moments as if your shield for taking on the world is paper-thin?"

"Have you ever wondered whether you have the inherent wisdom to find peace, to heal, to love, to be creative, to achieve, and grow? I believe all of us do. I'll help to connect you to this wisdom by clearing blockages, assumptions, old beliefs, and habits so you can identify and move towards what you want in life. At Embodied Mind NYC I specialize in issues with mood, relationships, grief and loss, masculinity, addiction, eating, sleep, spirituality, and challenges around creativity. Drawing from talk therapy, somatic awareness, mindfulness and the expressive arts, I tailor my approach to the inherent wisdom of each individual."

"Sometimes in life, we face various problems or setbacks that impede our identity, self-esteem, relationships, and/or aspirations. Through therapy, we can safely and quickly develop ways to achieve your life goals and improve life satisfaction. I work dynamically and collaboratively to explore your inner thoughts and feelings to bring positive changes and meaning to your present life. In conjunction, I utilize specific ways to help you build your inner resources/skills to cope with daily life stressors, relationship problems, trauma, anxiety, depression, and other concerns. "

"Although listening is vital, I'm not the kind of therapist who just sits back and silently nods for the whole session. I engage with clients to understand their lives better. Relationships exist in all our lives - whether they be love, work, friends, or family - but too often you could feel you are not getting what you want out of them. You might blame yourself. You feel like the common denominator, and that makes things feel worse inside. But among all of our relationships, the most important is the one we have with ourselves."

"It takes courage to contact a psychotherapist. Thoughts and feelings can be complicated, and it can seem easier to just keep trudging on. If you’re here, you’re ready for a change. Maybe the life you want is not the life you have. Perhaps you’re stressed out, grieving, or have a trauma history. You may suffer with a chronic illness or alcohol or drug addiction. You and a partner may want to find a stronger connection. If you’re a parent, you might be concerned that your son or daughter has gotten off track. You may be having trouble with insomnia and longing for a good night's sleep. My work spans a wide range of issues."

"The stress and uncertainty of life can, at times, feel overwhelming and endless. Everyone experiences times in life where things seem like they’re spiraling out of control, or our favorite things no longer spark joy. Finding the right therapist can unlock your ability to approach situations in the way you’ve always dreamed of. Our work together will help you better understand yourself, your relationships, and the steps that will get you where you want to be. I have experience helping those with anxiety, depression, OCD, addiction, PTSD/Trauma, life transitions, and more."

"You feel something is wrong. At times, you have an idea of what may be causing it. Other times, you’re not so sure anymore. I want to help you. As a distinguished mental health care professional, I’ve dedicated my entire life and practice to discovering resolutions to my patients’ toughest challenges and I have guided them towards an enhanced and revitalized manner of living. I am not a traditional therapist. I am a leader and innovator in therapy. The form of psychotherapy I practice has been highly successful because I’ve developed the science and craft necessary to help the many people who’ve opened up to me. "

"Suffering in silence can be incredibly painful. You freeze up at the thought of sharing your story with others around you, afraid of their reactions. You’re angry at yourself for not being able to "get it together," and you berate and belittle yourself daily. Whether you are struggling to cope with feelings of profound despair, manage an addiction, overcome marital issues, or transition careers, you second guess yourself at every juncture. You’re living in space of uncertainty and loneliness. And as much as you want to reach out, you continue to hide your truth out of fear and shame, putting up a guard that seems impenetrable."
