Male Therapists in New York, NY

Over time, therapy helps people make profound changes in their lives, enabling them to heal from painful pasts and experience themselves in the present as more vital and alive. To facilitate this growth, I offer my patients a place to explore their inner worlds, their challenges, and their relationships to others. Together, we identify the forces, internal and external, that keep them stuck in negative patterns. It is through knowing and addressing these forces that we expand their ability to experience themselves, connect to others, and act to improve their lives and reduce their suffering.

Finding the right therapist can be very confusing and overwhelming! On your initial visit, I will spend a generous amount of time with you on your presenting concerns and your goals for therapy. Having 20 years of experience, I can assess the therapy method most likely to be effective for your specific situation. My specialty is Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and I find most clients achieve significant progress with this method. However, if I feel CBT is not appropriate for you, I have a number of experienced colleagues in my practice with different methods I can recommend (behaviorhealthny.com).

You don't have to live in pain and depression. Working together, you and I can create mutually understood meanings tol help you get past "stuck places."

Change is difficult, and often unavoidable. I work with people who are looking to overcome the obstacles in their lives. Everyone needs growth, and often the greatest opportunities are found in the greatest of challenges. Though we cannot always choose what happens to us, we can always exercise self awareness and decide how we are going to move forward. It is when we disengage from our struggles and the need to move past them that we cease to make conscious decisions. My clients come to therapy looking for their own unique transformation. It is my great privilege to assist them in making it happen.

There is no single way to live a fulfilling life. All of us need a safe place to talk about what we're experiencing. Expressing your thoughts and feelings to another person is an essential part of transformation. This is especially true when done in a therapeutic environment where you can explore new ideas and make your own decisions about your life without fear of intrusion from the other. My clinical intention is to help clients see and experience themselves in a new way.

I have years of experience helping clients deal with anxiety, depression and anger problems and with couples who are looking to reduce marital conflict. When new clients call me they are looking for help in coping so they can feel better and handle their life challenges more effectively.

I listen to what their individual wants and needs and plan accordingly.

Discussing your problems, your painful pasts, and current difficult situations can be quite challenging.

Psychotherapy is about freedom: freedom from suffering, freedom to change what is working poorly in one's life, and freedom to develop as an authentic human being. I address patient's difficulties from a number of perspectives: psychodynamic, which provides a way of understanding how people limit their lives in ways they're not aware of, as well as Somatic, which addresses the roots of trauma and emotional conflict as they manifest in bodily experience and symptoms (headache, pain, digestive problems). I also employ more directive coaching methods that are appropriate for workplace issues and conflicts.

In life, there is no obvious roadmap to finding happiness and satisfaction. The mission of therapy is to explore your inner world so that you can find meaning in the world outside. Our work will be to get you on a path to living a life in which you can be fulfilled and about which you can feel proud. The hardest step to take is the first one into the consulting room, and people often feel tremendous relief when they do. Therapy can be the one place in the world where your issues are front and center, you need not compete with others to be heard, and the only agenda is your self-improvement. If done well, it is life-changing.

“We tell ourselves stories in order to live.”—Joan Didion Sometimes life takes a bad turn. Sometimes something awful happens and we need to learn to cope. Sometimes we find ourselves in a veritable dark wood, bereft of hope, looking for some way out. Often we try things that don't work, or that work all too well, or that bring further trouble and suffering into our lives. We struggle with work, relationships, our health, money, and, most importantly, making sense of our struggles, so mired are we in the everyday grind of existence.
