Relationship Issues Therapists in Upper West Side, New York, NY

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.

Do you find yourself overwhelmed and stressed? Have work or personal relationships become unmanageable. Sometimes life calls for outside assitance, and psychotherapy can be very effective at alleviating distress. In my practice, I use an interactive and collaborative approach where an individual can explore, learn, and heal in an atmoshpere of trust and safety. I combine psychodynamic therapy that searches for the root causes of problems with coginitive-behavioral techniques when needed that offer more immediate structured coping skills.

Is it hard to integrate your diverse self into today's social communities? My multidisciplinary expertise can help you deeply understand yourself while getting your growth and changes up and running.

My social work education and continuing teaching in the field commit me to an eclectic approach to psychotherapy. What does that mean to you?

It means that I view the relationship we form together as the basis for the changes you want to make in your life.
