Seeking Therapy in Manhattan?
Welcome to my therapy site. I hope that by describing my therapy training and experience, my therapeutic orientation and philosophy, as well as my areas of specialization, including cognitive-behavioral therapy and solution-focused therapy, you’ll be able to determine whether you would like to meet with me for an initial consultation to see if I’m a good fit for your therapy needs.
Rather than choosing a therapist by zipcode or by randomly selecting a name from your insurance company’s in-network therapist roster, if you are seeking therapy in Manhattan, you deserve to be matched with a well-trained and experienced therapist who specializes in treating your particular psychological symptoms and concerns.
Results-Oriented Therapy
I, like you, prefer therapy that is not endless. I focus on achieving results quickly and efficiently. By exploring your current symptoms in the context of both past and present experiences, I will assist you in clarifying your goals in therapy, understanding the steps needed to reach these goals, and providing the optimal balance of guidance, support, and confrontation to help you achieve them.
As a therapist and psychologist in Manhattan, I identify as an integrationist, utilizing techniques from various therapeutic methodologies, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, Gestalt, Psychodynamic, Humanistic, and EMDR.
Whenever possible, and with your consent, I encourage inviting into our sessions anyone who we identify as a significant source of conflict in your life—be it a parent, child, sibling, marriage partner, significant other, or close friend. Alternatively, I may suggest group therapy as a complement to our individual therapy work.
While I am an attentive and discerning listener, I also take an active and directive role as a therapist, guiding you to the areas I believe are essential for your healing and growth.
Solution-Focused and Insight-Oriented Therapy
I practice a dual-focused treatment approach that addresses your present symptoms utilizing more solution-focused therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy techniques. Additionally, where needed, I address unresolved past conflicts primarily through insight-oriented techniques.
As your therapist in Manhattan, my sole agenda is to address whatever needs or concerns prompted you to seek my professional help: whether you seek relief from symptoms of depression and anxiety, help overcoming blocks to achieving professional or creative fulfillment, greater self-awareness and self-esteem, improved interpersonal effectiveness, counseling for your marriage or relationship, or assistance in steering your career or life in a more fulfilling direction.
Your goal becomes our therapeutic objective.
