Life is learning. We all have obstacles to smoothly incorporating information into the way we live our lives. Behaving reasonably is easier said than done. The process of learning to live our lives well requires commitment, humility and openness. These qualities are cultivated within a trusted relationship . There are no shortcuts to an open mind. having worked extensively with children and adults, in school, clinic, day treatment and hospital settings, I'm best suited to treating children, parents, relationship issues, addiction issues and issues of narcissistic personalities. I have experience with EMDR, an excellent tool.

Sometimes life’s everyday challenges are more than we can handle. Small issues that go unchecked often cause the greatest difficulties. My practice serves children, adolescents, adults and couples who need professional support to say how they feel, discover what they want and find needed answers. In a safe space, each individual is encouraged to encounter and express every feeling they are experiencing.

Congratulations! By exploring therapy you are taking the first step toward a more enjoyable, meaningful life. Anxiety, relationship problems, past trauma, even positive job or life changes can weigh us down so that we lose sight of the true joys that surround us. We make the best choices we can as we try to solve our problems and live our lives; but sometimes, we forget that we learned those problem-solving skills long ago and that there might be a better way. Together we will work to solve your problems, face challenges and improve your quality of life.

I'm a seasoned clinician, with advanced expertise in family and couples therapy. I also have a sub-specialty: treatment of the professional writer, artist and performing artist. But I do not limit the scope of my practice to specialties; my work extends through life's full spectrum of quandaries and quagmires. Patients say the keys to our success are: safety, authenticity, flexibility, respect, wisdom, kindness, humor, and clarity. We work together, to understand the feelings that can sometimes ambush, block or trigger a person, derailing relationships and careers. We work without fast-forwarding past the hard parts - but without losing precious time.

" A trusting relationship where feedback is real and exploration interesting is the place to do that.
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 am a psychologist / psychoanalyst, teaching, supervising, and practicing on the Upper West Side for over 20 years. I would describe my style as warm, eclectic and pragmatic. I think psychodynamically but am flexible and open to using different approaches. I am a good listener and am able to provide support in a process that can, at times, be quite painful. Like any other relationship , therapy involves a certain chemistry and I invite you to use the free consultation to come in and explore my approach directly.

I offer individual and couples therapy as well as a range of personality and vocational assessments.
I believe that no universal way of treating people exists. Rather, your cultural identity, personality traits, and presenting issues guide the way that I approach therapy with you. My therapeutic intent is to treat the person not the problem. Therefore, I adhere to a wellness perspective to emphasize strengths and help you develop your sense of self in a collaborative and supportive way.

Encountering struggles in our lives is a universal part of our humanity. Sometimes we feel overwhelmed and alone, whether going through a painful breakup, dealing with grief from a tragic loss, coping with the pressures of career or chronic illness, or dealing with family and relationship situations. Sometimes we just need someone to talk to, who is impartial, can listen, and who can help us somehow make sense of it all. Therapy can act as a bridge of compassion and hope, to get us through to the other side to a greater understanding of our authentic selves and to help us reach the potential to live our best lives.

I have been practicing Buddhist meditation since 1994 and I have a special interest in Buddhism and its relationship to psychotherapy/psychoanalysis.
Therapy is a rare opportunity to be profoundly understood by another person. The more we feel understood, the more we are able to untangle the emotional and interpersonal knots that lead us into treatment in the first place. While diagnostic categories are often useful, each person has to be understood within the context of their life history and the emotional convictions that shape their experience.

I work with individuals dealing with addiction, relationship issues, codependency, anxiety, depression, and other mood disorders.
I am a licensed therapist passionate about working with individuals dealing with addiction (or a family member’s addiction), anxiety, depression, and codependency. Do you struggle to feel content or whole without using something external (substances, relationships, food)? Do you have difficulties setting boundaries with others or practicing self-compassion? It can feel overwhelming to be vulnerable with another person in therapy and to let yourself truly be seen, but there can be freedom and connection from doing so. I create a non-judgmental space for you to strengthen your inner resources through awareness and self-acceptance.

In my practice, clients have the opportunity to work in group as well as individual and couples therapy.
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 collaborate with my clients to help them find a better understanding of themselves. The process may include exploring how they have arrived at where they find themselves in life; how patterns in their relationships with the important people in their lives have developed and are sustained; how emotions and emotion-laden expectations may limit possibilities; how the therapeutic relationship can provide support, insight, improve coping skills and relationships with others, expand opportunities, improve performance, and increase satisfaction.

I have been in practice for over 20 years treating adolescents, adults and couples .
“I’m so sad.” “I’m stuck.” “I’m lonely.” “I hate my life.” “I’m nervous about everything.” If these sentiments sound familiar, you have just taken the first step toward change. I have specialized training in the treatment of anxiety, depression, and complex trauma. I have unique experience in treating men and women with relationship issues as well as those contemplating, or in the process of, divorce. I have worked extensively with religiously observant individuals of the Catholic and Jewish faith, negotiating the tension between modern contemporary life and religious practice.

Couples Counseling Therapists

Does couples counseling work?

Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.

When should a couple seek counseling?

Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.

How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?

The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.

How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?

The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
