Adults Therapists in Upper West Side, New York, NY

I am an actively engaged therapist with more than thirty five years experience with young adults , adults , older adults (Medicare accepted), children, adolescents and their parents. I do short term as well as long term intensive psychodynamic psychotherapy(relational/interpersonal).

As a caring psychotherapist in practice for 30+ years, I specialize in working with adults who are unhappy with themselves and their relationships, who experience the discomforts of anxiety, low self-esteem and depression and who feel stuck and are unsure what to do next. I am committed to the growth of my clients.

I have been a Clinical Psychologist for 30 years, and I continue to be enriched, challenged and personally deepened by my work. My therapeutic style is to be active, engaged and empathetic. I explore the past, ask questions about the present, and collaborate with my clients to brainstorm solutions for the future as I work to help people find meaning and purpose in their lives. As Clinical Director of the Center for Loss and Renewal, I have an expertise in loss situations, yet I see many couples for relationship enhancement issues and do coaching for business success.

We have all acquired ways of coping that get in the way of our development, and manifest as emotional pain, such as anxiety and depression. I work with clients to identify and reduce these painful symptoms. Clients are then freer to use their energy in pursuit of their goals. In my private practice, I work with young, midlife, and older adults . I develop a safe and collaborative relationship with clients. In that context, I do short and long-term psychotherapy and train clients to use specific protocols to modify symptoms that are in the way of personal and professional functioning.

I provide therapy that is collaborative. We get to know you together - your strengths and challenges, the problems you currently face, and how you can use insights you develop in therapy to better think about and address those problems. We slow things down enough so you can gain perspective and understand patterns that at other times happen automatically or too quickly for reflection. We look at what's happening in the here and now AND take into account past experiences and relationships.

I empower clients to value their own strengths in order to develop confidence in themselves.
