Psychoanalytic Therapists in NoHo, New York, NY
I have trained at MITPP (Metropolitan Institute for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy) and worked at MCMH (Metropolitan Clinic for Mental Health) with adults of all ages.
The road to self discovery and healing starts with a brave step forward. I facilitate a safe space where you can address any challenges and gain awareness into past patterns that may be affecting your present. You’ll explore ways fear or internal conflicts interfere with your life goals, relationships, and overall quality of life. Through this process, you’ll be able to recognize triggers and work towards breaking unhealthy cycles.

But psychoanalytic therapy is also an ongoing, in-depth conversation between two people--one in which the experience of relating to others, including each other right there in the room, can become a meaningful resource and play an important role in the process.
I use a contemporary psychoanalytic approach to address a variety of issues by engaging with and honoring each person's unique history, internal experience, and personal and cultural circumstances. I work with people from many different backgrounds who find themselves struggling in their lives: those who feel stuck or stalled in approaching a crossroads, those who can't get past what has happened or are going through something too big to bear alone, those who know where they want to be but can't seem to get there, and those too anxious or depressed even to look ahead.

I specialize in psychoanalytic therapy, integrating aspects of CBT, DBT, and ACT when indicated.
There are countless reasons to engage in psychotherapy. These, especially at the outset, can include concerns like discreet symptoms, depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, low self-worth, intimacy issues, disordered eating, compulsive behavior, career stagnation, illness, physical limitation, identity struggles, life transitions, and feeling that there could be more to life. Collaboration with a well-matched professional can allow for a deep working-through with lasting transformation. My goal is to help you live more freely, by working with you to restore and enhance your experience of joy and thriving.

I have been teaching and supervising trainees in postgraduate psychoanalytic training institutes since 1985 and have a wide network of colleagues.
I'm a psychotherapist and psychoanalyst with more than 35 years of experience. My goal is to enable my clients to better understand themselves and their hidden emotional conflicts. Self-awareness and self-knowledge are empowering because our deepest desires for love, connectedness, and achievement are typically tangled up in bad feelings - like shame, guilt or anxiety -- that obstruct us from pursuing their fulfillment. These bad feelings are often based on unrealistic ideas, the residues of childhood experience. I work with clients to disentangle their vital wishes from these constraints so that they can live more authentic and creative lives.

I also have postgraduate training in dissociative processes, disturbances in eating and addictions and am currently a psychoanalytic candidate in training in New York City.
I create a warm and collaborative atmosphere where you can freely explore your lived experiences, anxieties, and hopes for yourself. My approach to therapy involves deep listening. I have trained in psychoanalysis, meaning that we will explore your unconscious mental processes and their origins to illuminate not only the roots of current suffering, but also help you make use of your passions, strengths, and desires to create a life according to your own design. In our work together, we can better understand your patterns, empowering you to make conscious choices and break free from self-limiting cycles.

A bit about my professional background: I completed my psychoanalytic post-doctoral training at NYU.
My approach to treatment is interactive and engaging. I find that clients appreciate and benefit from an active therapist that will help identify areas of difficulty and work on initiating changes rather than a passive, primarily listening approach to treatment. A comfortable fit between therapist and client is an essential part of successful work together. Consistent with that, I'm happy to do a phone consultation so you can get a sense of how I approach this process. In terms of insurance, if you have out-of-network benefits we should be able to make therapy affordable.

I'm a faculty member of the Psychoanalytic Association of New York, where I teach and supervise professionals in our postgraduate programs in psychotherapy, and am also the Chair of our Consultation and Treatment Service.
I specialize in individual and couples therapy, particularly for people negotiating midlife crises and transitions. I can help you to understand yourself and other people better, and to find meaning for yourself in midlife and beyond. I give a regular talk at NYU School of Medicine on coping effectively with midlife challenges. I've also published a recent journal article on midlife issues in the Psychoanalytic Review, Oct. 2019: "Generativity and Its Viscissitudes." For couples work, broadly speaking, I have experience working with nonconventional relationships, and am queer, kink, and CNM/poly friendly.

I practice from a psycho dynamic, psychoanalytic, cognitive, behavioral and systems perspective.
Often times we find ourselves feeling frustrated with relationships, either at home or at work. Perhaps we are in transition, adjusting to major life events such as the loss of a job, loss of a significant person, or caring for an aging parent. Depression, anxiety and stress can get in the way of living a more full, productive and satisfying life. Utilizing a supportive, non-judgmental, collaborative and engaged therapeutic relationship, I can help you understand those internal barriers, with the goal of relieving those symptoms.

Trained in a psychoanalytic paradigm, I believe that past experiences profoundly influence how we manage our fears and anxieties and thus impact the quality of our relationships with others and the world around us, i.e., they affect the ways in which we are able to shape our lives in the present. While this belief fundamentally guides my thinking and informs my treatment approach, I am versed in a variety of techniques rooted in other traditions and am comfortable treating a wide range of clinical issues. I also have extensive experience conducting neuropsychological, psycho-educational, and personality assessments.

My clinical work is deepened by my engagement in psychoanalytic writing and research.
Listening defines my approach to your treatment. A major difference in working with a psychoanalyst as opposed to other mental health practitioners is the careful, consistent, deep attention a psychoanalyst gives to listening. Change can occur because the first emphasis of this treatment is understanding, rather than feeling pressured to "do" something. Psychoanalysts develop this skill by engaging in extensive institute training beyond that required for their license. My goal is for you to achieve substantive, durable change through a collaborative approach to understanding the deeper meanings and causes of problems you face.

I use the research validated Gottman Methods couples therapy approach integrated with Emotionally Effective techniques and Modern Psychoanalytic Attunement techniques for effective results.
My ideal client is a couple who are interested in staying together but need help dealing with some rough patches -unfaithfulness, excessive fighting and conflict, destructive communication and behavioral patterns, difficulties coping with stress, love life problems, anxiety, depression, jealousy- in a constructive way. A couple who doesn't want to give up on their relationships and is willing to make some efforts to improve their relationship and resolve their difficulties. My ideal client is the one who wants to help him/herself or a significant other overcome barriers holding them back from dealing with themselves and others effectively.

My work is primarily psychoanalytic and psychodynamic, (a focus on conscious and unconscious processes), combining insight and reflection, but I have a pragmatic streak addressing your coping skills, mindfulness in the present moment, and your interpersonal interactions and (any) self destructive patterns.
Are you stuck? Same problems, same thoughts? Unable to play, or imagine something different? Depression, anxiety, addictions and trauma require another person to help you understand their pull and face them, so they no longer control your life. Suffering alone only forces the pain underground to emerge in symptoms, behaviors and personal interactions that undermine your life and lead you to hide even more from others. The therapy relationship is one where you hope to explore who you are with another person to allow your desires to emerge without shame and fear.

I have been the president of several psychoanalytic organizations, and founder of the Noir Institute for psychoanalytic study and practice.
Ever wonder if you are making the right choices in life? Does it feel like all the choices are wrong? Are you having difficulties with relationships, job or career? Should you take a risk on something new? In my 20+ years as a psychologist I have found that making the right choice is not the issue, but rather understanding how and why we make choices. Becoming aware of how we think and why we act is what leads to a more satisfying and engaged life. Knowing oneself and exploring our unconscious can open potentials for emotional growth, creativity, and self-empowerment.

After completing a 3 year training program in parent-infant psychoanalytic psychotherapy and studying with some of the most prominent clinicians in the field of infant research, I have developed a unique way of working with parent-baby dyads, providing short-term treatment for Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PDMAs).
Pregnancy is a time of transformation as changes take place in the future mother’s body, relationship with her partner, social and work life and environment. Parents have to adjust to their rapidly changing world and to a new little human whose survival depends on them. They often feel inadequate because they are not quite sure what they are supposed to do in this new role, and having a baby can be a very challenging and isolating experience. Some parents experience anxiety and depression as well as difficulty bonding with their baby.

I am a clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst in private practice serving adults and adolescents. I am a warm, interactive person, and respond to my patients in a lively, involved way. I work with all problems of living and help patients to function better in their lives and relationships. We all have deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others and viewing ourselves, some self-defeating and interfering with our ability to live a satisfying and productive life. While essential, insight is not enough to alleviate personal suffering. I help patients to make positive steps in their lives.

My approach is psychoanalytic, but also is highly individualized.
Psychotherapy alleviates suffering and expands your capacity to live a fulfilling life. It helps you to build stronger relationships, find satisfaction in work, be more creative, and achieve your goals - whatever they may be. Good psychotherapy works through collaboration; we work together to understand your experiences, memories and relationships in order to create openings for change. My practice is diverse across race, nationality, ethnicity, gender, sexuality and age. I believe that therapists must be sensitive to social issues and must bring into treatment an understanding of the suffering and trauma caused by marginalization.

Psychoanalytic Therapists
Does psychoanalytic therapy work?
Psychoanalytic therapy derives from the work of Sigmund Freud. In this type of therapy, discovering buried thoughts and emotions from the unconscious will help a person work through their difficulties and negative behaviors. Research shows that psychoanalytic therapy can be highly effective, with patients reporting improvement in mood, quality of life, and overall well-being.
How long are people typically in psychoanalytic therapy?
Traditional psychoanalysis is in-depth and is conducted in five sessions every week. Today, modern psychoanalytic therapy is less intense and normally incorporates as few as one or two sessions a week. In some cases, positive change can occur quickly. However, if the condition, difficulty, or behavior is deep-seated, improvement may require many months or years of therapy.
Is psychoanalytic therapy suitable for young people?
Children and adolescents can benefit from this type of therapy. Many kids and teens are often unable to form and communicate their thoughts and emotions. Psychoanalytic therapy uses specific techniques such as dream analysis, symbolism, and free association or word association; all of which can be useful tools for less-communicative young people. Through this therapy, a patient will hopefully make connections between what they feel inside and how the world works outside.
Can psychoanalytic therapy be done online?
Modern-day psychoanalytic therapy is very different from traditional psychoanalysis. While an individual can sit face-to-face with the psychoanalyst for multiple sessions a week, they do not have to. Today, psychoanalytic therapy can be effectively conducted online or by phone. The key is that the individual confronts what is repressed and avoided, and this can be done whether in person or over online video.
