In Person Therapists in Pound Ridge, NY

I am a licensed psychologist and one of the few Certified Gottman Couples Therapists on the East Coast. My speciality is helping individuals and couples identify and make changes in their personal and professional lives that enable them to enhance their life satisfaction and well-being. I integrate traditional psychodynamic concepts with contemporary methods such as cognitive behavioral, Gottman, attachment, and systems theories. Offering a highly personalized approach that is goal oriented and solution focused, I tailor my services to the needs of each individual or couple. My style is caring and direct, gentle and collaborative.

For over thirty years I've helped adults, children, adolescents and couples resolve their conflicts and lead more satisfying lives. I am flexible in my approach, paying special attention to the individual needs of those whom I treat. I have specialties in the treatment of anxiety, panic disorder, depression, couple/marital counseling, children and adolescents, ADD/ADHD, and bipolar disorder. Working with alcohol and other substance abusers has also been a long term part of my practice. With my wife, Roberta Markowitz,LCSW we conduct interventions, helping families obtain treatment for otherwise resistant family members.

My main goal is to help my clients of all ages (pre-teen-senior citizens) navigate along life's journey as they seek and maintain happiness. Change/transition is a constant and fact of life. Transitions can be positive (having a baby, getting married, getting a new job) or negative (a loss of a loved one, a loss of a job, an unwanted move). Whether positive or negative these transitions can cause stress, anxiety and depression. If transitions have been grinding you down and you feel stuck in life, schedule a consultation with me. I am excited to start this journey with you.

I am a developmental psychologist and licensed clinical social worker with extensive experience working with young children, teens, adults, and families with a variety of mental health needs including emotional regulation, anxiety, life stressors, relationship challenges, and developmental disorders. I currently work in private practice in Westchester, NY, specializing in psychotherapy, child-centered play therapy, parent-child relationships, and learning differences. I embrace a reflective and strengths-focused model and I am known to be creative, compassionate, and open-minded.

In a safe and supportive environment, I collaborate with individual adults couples, and families to address difficult emotions or behaviors. I work with clients to enhance communication, deepen attachments and relationships, and identify road blocks. Given the tools, support, and guidance, I believe that we are all capable of making positive changes to reduce conflict, stress, and anxiety and lead more satisfying lives. My orientation is eclectic though I often utilize Cognitive Behavioral and Solution Focused techniques. I work with adults, couples and families.

Life can be overwhelming. If you’re here, I’m guessing something brought you to this point that made you think therapy may be beneficial. Is your child more worried than usual? Maybe you or someone you love is struggling with their emotions? Perhaps, you or someone you love is having a hard time navigating one of life’s many transitions? As your therapist, my goal is to create a welcoming, safe, supportive environment to explore your current stressors, and create a path to improving your wellbeing. Whether I am working with a child, teen, or young adult, I tailor sessions to each individual. For parents, I offer support & resources.

I have been in practice for over 40 years and I feel that my best client is the person who recognizes that they could use someone like myself to help them alter their thoughts and behaviors that are impeding their progress. I have worked well with issues related to mood such as anxiety and depression, but also with stress related disorders. If you believe that life would be better if you only knew how to change your thinking,feeling and behavior, then I am your therapist.

I believe that in order to work on your issues -- regardless of what they are -- you must first feel safe and understood. My treatment approach is first to provide you with a safe environment created through empathic and non-judgmental listening. Change -- even positive change -- is difficult. By understanding my clients' individual strengths and applying effective treatment approaches, change can happen. This is a process that evolves through a working relationship of open communication and trust. Identifying and changing those patterns of behavior is the focus of our work together.

Perhaps you have tried talk therapy before and it didn't feel productive or inspire you to change or reflect in new ways. Or perhaps you feel like you often don't have the words to describe how you feel, or aren't ready to verbally share about your challenges or difficult experiences. Individuals who can relate to these sentiments may greatly benefit from working with an Art Therapist. Through a combination of talk therapy and creative techniques I will support you in reflective and problem solving processes that will be different, productive and sometimes even playful.

I have been counseling addicts and alcoholics since 1993. I have inpatient, detox, outpatient and intervention experience. I have completed many assessments for teens at college that have been sent hiome for evaluations and treatment if needed. DWI and DUI assessments and education can be done at YOUR convenience and not according to an agencys schedule. My ideal client is a motivated client, that want's to make their life better, or recognizes that his or her substance abuse/addiction is causing major disruptions in their life. I also enjoy the challenge of the unmotivated client that I can help through the stages of change. Individual, group counseling and random drug testing (on site) are regular practices, family work and education are important services that I provide as well. I work closely with Psychiatrist's in Greenwich Ct, New Canaan Ct, and NYC when needed. These are trusted addiction specialist psychiatrists. I look forward to helping you and or your family member. When I am working with a client I become available 24 hours a day.

I will welcome you into a safe and non-judgmental place where you can explore what it could be like to find the freedom to live your life with self-compassion while taking full responsibility. I believe therapy can help you find a sense of peace in your life because you are able to identify your own power, your own wisdom and really focus on what brings your life joy. If your family is experiencing difficulties then family therapy is a necessary first step toward finding a more harmonious family life.
