Teletherapy for Lower Manhattan - New York, NY

Perhaps you are in a transitional phase, feeling unsettled, confused, frustrated, lonely or in grief. Or there may be active addiction, disordered eating or body image issues, family stress, estrangement, relational conflicts or infidelity. Or, you are struggling and don't understand why. My professional experience is varied and spans 40 years. However, it is this role as a therapist that blends it together beautifully with my life experience and extensive training to serve my clients. Therapy can be life-changing, and you deserve to thrive, accept what is unchangeable, change what is, and feel at ease with yourself and others.

Hi there and welcome! I always loved learning about people and hearing their stories. Eventually, that interest led me to social work and to psychotherapy. My priority is supporting clients in their journeys to personal healing & growth. Whether you would like to make positive changes in any area of your life or figure out how to address current stressors, I am here to support you on your journey of self-discovery and to help you overcome any obstacles on your path.

Navigating relationships and the challenges of life can be overwhelming. Whether you are preparing for marriage or in a relationship on the brink, it’s important to understand how you and your partner are showing up for one another to move forward in a healthy direction. I’ll guide you in uncovering the root cause of your challenges so you can choose your next steps out of relationship crisis, anxiety, fear, and confusion. As an experienced certified Discernment Counselor and individual and couples therapist, I provide a unique perspective on how you can make positive changes in your life and relationship.

Adolescents and young people are creating a bridge for their adult future. I am passionate about guiding this process of transformation for the world’s future. I work with parents, families, children, youth, and adolescents to learn to fully live in the world and to claim a place for each individual for the whole. Gary teaches teens to meet their absolute place in the world. Together I help each adolescent move beyond stuck-ness, anxiety or uncertainty. You may be a parent struggling with your teen’s screen or gaming addiction with no solution. Left alone, it could take years - if ever – for him move to a zest for life.

The journey towards healing and self-exploration is a sacred and deep encounter. Finding the right person who is attuned and able to respond to your needs is an essential part of this journey. I am an experienced psychoanalyst and a graduate of the National Psychological Association for Psychoanalysis. I bring a gentle and balanced approach to treatment to restore vitality to your life and to feel understood. Our sense of being is naturally capable of nourishing healthy aspects of the self and transforming wounded or stuck parts. These fragmentations often result in depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and creative blocks.

Everyone deserves an opportunity for growth. The therapeutic relationship is a trusting process. I use empathy, humor, and positive regard to create a safe space to discuss distress people experience throughout the course of life. I encourage my clients to identify and focus on the things they can control when dealing with depression and anxiety. Change is challenging and often unavoidable. I work with adults (over age 21) who are looking to overcome fears and struggles by helping them learn effective ways to cope and set and maintain boundaries. My goal is to guide individuals on the road to healing, empowerment, and success.

I can probably help you, especially if your concerns relate to relationships or sexuality. I work with individuals and couples, and I have advanced training in treating sexual dysfunctions and sexual and other addictions. I was a clinical supervisor of graduate students at NYU and I presently supervise therapists in my private practice. I mediate divorces and family or business disputes; I co-authored "The Divorce Mediation Answer Book". For the past two years I have worked pro bono for CaringKind running a support group for adults whose parents have Alzheimer's Disease. I am on the faculty of the Harlem Family Institute

I am a LCSW & CASAC Level 2 with 16 years of experience doing clinical work with individuals and couples. I have worked with clients who experience sexual dysfunction, depression, anxiety, mental health concerns, trauma, chronic health conditions and addictions. I specialize in sex therapy with diverse clients seeking to increase intimacy, confidence and improve communication about sex. I offer sex positive therapy to people with various sexual identities and orientations, who are monogamous, ENM/CNM, in plural relationships, have kinks and non-traditional lifestyles. Therapy can be short or long term focusing on holistic wellness.

You want to appear like you have it all together, but deep down you're struggling to feel confident in who you are and cope with life's challenges. Maybe you're tired of the constant anxiety, the critical inner voice, or feeling lost when it comes to your sense of purpose. At this point, it may be hard to even imagine a life where you feel balanced and at peace with yourself. But one thing is certain: you're ready for change. You're ready to speak to yourself with kindness. You're ready to establish self-care rituals that help you thrive.

Are you seeking to enhance your happiness or prosperity? Do you find that your rational thoughts conflict with your emotional responses? Are you experiencing anxiety, depression, or struggling in your relationships? Is OCD creating obstacles? Are you facing issues with alcohol? I provide a gentle method for uncovering your genuine and empowered self. Rather than seeking a cure, life can be managed, explored and comprehended. We can learn to listen, be effective and meet our needs. Leadership and transformation require intention and attention. It may be time to explore your emotional well-being, and take charge of your life.

Feeling stuck? Depression and anxiety can be part of the problem, and I am here to listen and to help. I offer approaches and useful tools that provide relief and an understanding of the underlying causes for these problems. I specialize in helping people with career obstacles, relationship problems, ADHD, highly sensitive personalities, and neurodiversity challenges. I also can help with creative blocks and learning how to tap into creative potential in life, art or any other career. My hope is to work as a team to help you identify what your needs and goals are and put you on the best path to greater happiness.

We offer a practical approach to therapy! We can support you with depression, anxiety, stress, life changes, attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) relationship problems, family conflict, parenting support, trauma/ PTSD, anger management, grief/ bereavement, somatic disorders, eating disorders, and bullying.

You feel hopeless, angst, dread, or freaked out. You feel anxiety and have trouble sleeping, headaches, stress, palpitations, and/or nightmares. You may be struggling in relationship, whether single, and looking for a partner, committed to a partner, or in a recent breakup. You may be stuck at work, not able to get ahead, or unsure if you are in the right profession or company.

Have you been feeling anxious, overwhelmed or alone? Do you find that your mind and emotions control you? Are you stuck in repetitive patterns? I have 18 years' experience as a licensed therapist treating these symptoms. I offer Therapy & Psychedelic Therapy. I have a background in art and a warm, engaging (rather than silent) style of interacting. My experience includes work at 2 eating disorder centers, Mental Health Assessor for University of California, graduate psychology professor, crisis work w/ Mental Health Association of NYC, supervision of interns and Integration of Psychedelic experiences. I am licensed in CA, NY and PA.

Do you find it difficult to communicate your needs to those closest to you? I work with those who desire a deeper awareness of themselves, who are navigating relationship challenges, embarking on career changes, experiencing burn out, and who struggle with sexual intimacy. Together, we will collaborate to create a space that feels right for you.

I offer talk psychotherapy, art therapy and wellness coaching for adults seeking to make proactive changes in therapy to experience a better quality of life. I believe that people are experts in their own lives and that we develop unique coping strategies over the years to help us navigate important relationships and experiences. I work with people to better understand themselves and to grow greater self-compassion and empathy. I view therapy as an important aspect of personal self-care and wellness. I assist people in finding a healthier work-life balance and enjoy more satisfying life, work and relationships.

I've maintained a psychotherapy private practice in Lower Manhattan for more than eighteen years, and about ten years ago moved to an office in a loft in TriBeCa. 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 LGBT people and all sorts of other people around just about anything. I welcome one and all.

As a therapist and coach, I offer a safe, supportive space for my clients to explore, grow awareness, and make decisions about the way they choose to approach and live their lives. People often reach out when they are at a crossroads with career or relationship issues, and they are experiencing emotions that feel overwhelming like anxiety or depression. I partner with my clients to provide empathetic, active listening as well as focus on skill development. Through our work together, clients develop a deeper understanding of themselves, where they came from, and the impact the past has on who they are in the present moment.

You’re a strong, successful individual who puts in hard work to maintain your endeavors! Everyone looks up to you- you are resilient, a go-getter & just triumphant at everything you do, it makes you feel amazing! However, at times you feel overwhelmed with pressured expectations of society or your immediate circle- you feel deeply saddened behind closed doors-sometimes anxious & just need someone outside of your circle to share these hindering feelings. These challenges don’t have to define you, we can help you define them & heal through it… We look forward to meeting you & joining you on this journey of wellness towards happiness!
