Male Therapists in Westport, CT

Are you a high performer struggling to balance your work, home, and personal life? Are negative emotions, mental health issues, or relationship problems are getting in the way of your teen's life? I am a clinical psychologist specializing in helping clients overcome personal and mental health struggles interfering with their goals and maintaining high levels of performance. I also provide couples therapy to help people get their marriages or relationships on the right track.

Life can be difficult but you don't have to go it alone. I am here. I want to hear what you are going through and I want to know how you are feeling. Give me a call. We will walk through this journey together.

LIFE IS DIFFICULT, My psychotherapy addresses your problems of living. Problems arise in three general areas: in your relationship; in your career or in job performance; and in the intrapersonal sphere (emotions, dissatisfaction with self). My approach is to engage in problem-solving through full 60-minute sessions across a brief time. When significant relief is achieved, and you are in a more emancipated place, you will be better able to anticipate and attenuate emerging problems, yourself. Should patterns that interfere with your functioning or self-esteem return, booster sessions are a solution. I offer housecalls (home or office).

I work well with clients who are motivated to change their lives. Our greatest challenges come during times of big life transitions. Through active listening and genuine empathy, I help my clients focus upon the inherent solutions to their most pressing problems. Motivation to change comes with the willingness to look closely and investigate the stories we tell ourselves. Often, I discover with my clients that their oldest and most damaging internal stories are simply not true. By having a fellow human who is open and fully present witness our lives, we can discover the very real possibility for greater health.

Life has many challenges. It's how you grow from your past that defines who you are in life. You may feel alone, misunderstood, and unfulfilled with your life or personal relationships. Perhaps you're having intense negative emotions. People typically enter therapy when they are in distress, although it's usually the long-term and underlying struggles that concern them the most. Initially, we will work quickly to address your immediate pain and provide relief. As therapy progresses, our focus may shift so you develop more positive and enriching relationships with yourself and others.

I have been in private practice for over 28 years throughout which time I have treated adults and couples struggling with a wide variety of issues.

I aim to work collaboratively and compassionately with you toward helping you to gain insight and work through the obstacles that interfere with your overall well-being.

I specialize in individual psychotherapy, couples counseling and executive coaching. I work with individuals who are in crisis or need assistance facing everyday challenges.

I am trained in goal directed cognitive therapy (CBT) as well as more in- depth existential psychodynamic analysis that focus on how both current and past experience influences patterns of behavior.

I believe in the ever-present possibility of growth and the power of the therapeutic relationship to facilitate productive change in regard to what is not working or troublesome in people's lives. As a psychotherapist, I engage in confidential collaborative relationships grounded in respect, empathy, and safety in order to explore and help free people from patterns of functioning that are generally old, now maladaptive and personally limiting. Through achieving a deeper sense of self-understanding and personal growth, I believe in the increased capacity to live more satisfying emotional, social, and professional lives.

In addition to treating adults with anxiety, depression and other common and complex conditions, I specialize in child and adolescent psychotherapy, substance abuse struggles as well as LGBTQ populations, including gender-expansive, gender-questioning individuals across the lifespan.

Hello! I am currently working remote only. I am licensed in Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, and Florida. I take a supportive and goal oriented approach to working with my clients.

I offer in-person psychotherapy to adolescents and young adults in Westport and surrounding areas. I have extensive experience working with kids ages 12-18 with emotional and behavioral challenges, specifically those who have difficulty in school, kids who "shut down," kids prone to anger and opposition, depression, anxiety, and kids who struggle dealing with hardship. I also work with young adults in their 20s and 30s with anxiety, depression, perfectionism, loss, grief, anger, relationship difficulties, and life transitions, among others.

Life is an ocean of never-ending challenge; we can get overwhelmed, anxious, isolated, and feel out of control. Without proper support we miss the opportunities for growth that adversity offers. I provide a supportive structure that allows exploration of the most important aspects of your life and helps you develop concrete practical skills to better respond to the complex challenges life presents - - whether in individual, couples, or family therapy. You will learn to better know, understand, and accept more of your experiences and interactions as you discover and shape more satisfying layers of yourself and your relationships.

My areas of practice include child adolescent, individual and couples treatment as well as psycho-educational testing. Whether you have a clear idea of the help you are seeking-in depth psychotherapy- a brief consultation, a psychological evaluation-or have not yet defined your own goals, the best first step is to find a psychologist who is highly trained in more than one approach, someone with extensive experience who's humanity and good sense you can trust. A consultation can help to identify your goals and to decide what approach may be most helpful.

I am a child and family therapist who prefers to work with children who show oppositional behavior and other problematic behaviors. Are you experiencing difficulty communicating with your child? Do you feel like you're trying to help your child but your child doesn't recognize this? Perhaps you are aware that something is bothering your child but you and your child can't put your finger on it. You may have heard from the school that your child is having difficulty in school and your having trouble identifying what is causing this.
