I have friends who sometimes help me. What’s the difference between talking to you in therapy and talking to a friend?
There is nothing like a good friend to share your pains and emotional and physical upheaval with, however, it is often difficult for friends to point out how you get in the way of your psychological well-being. They will often side with you no matter what! That’s great!
As a therapist, I offer a perspective that is not based on friendship or camaraderie, rather it is based on a sound psychological perspective garnered from years of practice in the field. I give you tools that help you to discover how the obstacles in your life stop the joy and sense of balance; those tools will also help you to feel empowered and calm.
I want to come in with my partner, and wonder if you would also see us separately?
When working with couples, depending on the situation and volatility of the couple, I may ask to see you separately. I prefer, to see a couple together for most sessions.
How long does therapy typically last?
Everyone is different. Sometimes people come in and have 3 sessions and they have gotten the help and the tools they need. I offer long-term therapy, therapy intensives, and short-term therapy. There is no typical amount of time in therapy, as everyone is different.
How often do you want to see people?
Consistent and regular sessions are key to building a repertoire of tools that enable your psyche to tolerate and embody dependable and undisputable change. My sessions are weekly or bi-weekly, if we do a double session.
Are my sessions confidential?
All sessions are confidential. Guided by HIPAA laws.
Monday through Friday at my offices in New York City and Port Washington
