Most people considering therapy are looking for a new experience, but fearing the repetition of an old one.

Treatment provides an open, freeing space where you can express feelings that are often hard to articulate: career anxieties, difficulty feeling at ease with one’s sexuality, lingering disappointments and anger.

Through attentive listening I draw connections between your past and present and help you identify debilitating patterns in your life, often ways of surviving in childhood that are no longer useful.

Together we gain insight into your relational dynamics, your dreams and fantasies. A crucial part of treatment is helping you define what you want and working through the barriers to getting there.

Successful treatment offers continual evidence-based benefits that go beyond temporary relief and can result in fundamental shifts in one’s sense of self and how one relates to others.

The psychodynamic process enhances one’s capacity to love, to live more creatively and achieve greater self-actualization. Over time you will internalize analytic skills so that you can use them independently, as healthy ways of adapting to life’s challenges and dealing constructively with reality long after treatment ends.

Sessions available both in person and through tele-health.

Out-OF-NETWORK BENEFITS

On the back of your insurance card there should be a toll free number for questions related to your mental health benefits. You can better understand your coverage by calling and asking:

  • What are my mental health benefits?

  • What is my deductible and has it been met?

  • How many sessions per calendar year does my plan cover?

  • How much does my plan cover for an out-of-network provider?

  • What is the usual and customary amount for a therapist in New York, NY?

  • Is approval required from my primary care physician?
