Available both in-person and online
7 Erie Avenue Room 206-B Narrowsburg, NY 12764
In-person in Narrowsburg NY or virtual psychotherapy anywhere in New York State, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, or Florida. Feeling hurt, lost, or anxious, wondering if you want to wake up tomorrow, trapped in addiction or chronic pain, torn between choices, in or recovering from a hurtful relationship, alone, or like life is against you?
I can help by listening, offering feedback, listening some more, advocating for you when needed, understanding, pointing out strengths or possibilities you might not be seeing, respecting your right to make important choices governing your life...
Certified as TeleMental Health therapist by Person Centered Tech, I've been a counselor since 1985. I help adult men and women identify goals, plan to reach them, and make changes. If this sounds useful, give me a call and I look forward to meeting with you to help re-discover hope and make positive choices. (Available in New York and Florida by telehealth.)

Willingness to accept health insurance reimbursement as payment for services is a social justice issue. Most folks who have insurance need to use it to obtain the services and treatment they require. Any who lack or prefer not to use health insurance may self-pay. I am in network with several plans.

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we will explore what brought you to therapy and then decide how to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
