Therapists in Upper East Side, New York, NY

Time is of the essence. Let's face it, men are often reluctant to enter therapy as they find it stigmatizing or a sign of being weak or even skeptical of it's effectiveness. Men often take a problem-solving, solution-focused approach to life and that is not always congruent with most therapy models where the focus is on discussing feelings, exploring the past or "processing" experiences. As a cognitive behavioral therapist with an emphasis on solution focused & positive, strengths based interventions, I use a more active, action oriented & short term approach that works well for men and includes a more stoic philosophy.

We are the most privileged and prosperous generation in human history. Despite claims that things are getting worse & that our parents and grandparents had it better than we do, that just isn't true. We are more advantaged than at any time in history. So, why are people more unhappy, stressed & depressed? In 2023, the US dropped from 15th place to 23rd in terms of happiness. Why? People tend to focus & ruminate on their problems. We are experts in being problem-focused, but what if we could be Solution-Focused? What if we focused on the emotional outcome we want to achieve instead? Happiness, peace of mind, contentment, & optimism.
