Sam specializes in CBT and DBT – two of the most effective evidence-based therapeutic modalities – to help clients of all ages change unhelpful thought processes, face their fears, learn better emotional regulation, and build interpersonal skills. Sam’s solution-focused, client-centric treatment helps clients define their goals and allows them to leverage their own strengths and support systems to achieve them. Clients praise his warm demeanor, which makes them feel heard and valued during sessions, and leave treatment with newfound confidence and the tools to navigate life's challenges successfully and lead more fulfilling lives.

Individuals typically seek psychotherapy for specific problems such as episodes of low mood, anxiety, panic attacks and difficulties with work and relationships. However, when told to an attentive and non-judgmental listener, the stories behind these complaints often reveal previously unacknowledged tensions between what one wants and what is expected of them by others. I work from the conviction that psychotherapy provides the space to understand one's troubles in a new way, such that the narrative about oneself, others and life can be rewritten, leading to lasting and more satisfying choices and relationships.

Often when we are struggling with a concern or difficulty in living, we can't help but feel as if we are stuck in a pattern that feels too daunting to make our way out of, even if we have a sense of what it takes to live differently. These patterns frequently maintain themselves in large part because of a lack of resources -- whether it is time, strained relationships, or unmet needs. Attempting to regain these resources can be difficult if done alone.

I offer safe harbor for distress and instill a generative curiosity. In our work together, we awaken your ability to dream and build a better life. I am a therapist who is both warm and challenging. I use a combination of insight and skills-based approaches. My patients report greater ease "being" with themselves and others. They become more adept at "doing," meeting life's challenges in new, unexpected ways. Without being preachy, I bring attention to culture, social norms, race/ethnicity, gender, sexuality, class to help my patients find freedom, connection, and rehumanization.

I believe that psychotherapy lays the emotional groundwork that leads to a more satisfying and engaged life. Many people mistakenly think of psychotherapy as one-sided: the person in therapy talks and the therapist listens. But effective psychotherapy - therapy that heals - works because of the unique relationship that develops between the therapist and the person in therapy. I provide an environment - safe and non-judgemental - that facilitates opening up in new and often unexpected ways and helps you experience and express deepest thoughts and feelings. I have particular experience working with gay men, HIV issues, substance abuse and sexual addiction.

An artist who never experienced being loved by a woman may look for a different therapy than someone who, after the collapse of the Twin Towers, has experienced crises of panic and is unable to travel the subway. Somebody may want to stop using drugs and alcohol, but may also be interested in finding a spiritual path. Most frequently, people do not know what they want from therapy. Finding out is part of it. Some go to therapy to solve a problem, and some to grow and look for the meaning of life, while others have both reasons.
