Individualized Treatment

​In therapy, we tailor an agreed upon treatment to meet your individual needs. This might include exploring behaviors that have historically interfered with your growth. We often do things in the short term to feel better, and for a while, they’re effective. But then these same coping mechanisms that were supposed to help begin to hurt. This is where a treatment plan provides a roadmap for the direction we'll explore together.

Group Therapy

Picture
Currently, I run a therapy group for widows and widowers at the 92nd Street Y. Better understand and cope with your loss, learn about building a new life and explore ways to hold on to hope. For more information and to register for the group, click on the 92Y icon. During times when the link to the group is unavailable please email [email protected] for further details. ​

Next Steps

We begin with a one hour consultation. I'll describe how I work and you'll tell me what's bringing you to therapy. If we agree it's a fit we'll set up an appointment for our next session. I look forward to speaking with you.
