Finding a therapist requires a good relational match. My experience has shown me that you know it when you feel it.
After looking over my website, I encourage you to get in touch and schedule a 20 minute phone consultation. I provide these free of charge, so I can understand your initial reasons for starting therapy and for us to know if we are a good fit.
Whether you've been in therapy before or this is your first time, I will help you feel supported, grounded and safe enough to get started.
Relationship is at the heart of effective therapy. This is something I appreciate, understand and work hard to foster. We will work together to clarify what you want from therapy and for your life, going forward. This is a collaborative process.
My commitment to helping people heal and grow began over two decades ago, when I started my career as a clinical social worker, working in various clinical settings. My experience during that time grounds my work with a deep understanding of and care for the profound challenges people face.
I remain engaged in ongoing training and regular case consultation groups, to stay current with the latest developments in the field and with best practices.
I provide both short term and long term therapy:
Short term:
Sometimes people aren't looking to make big changes in their lives, but want to address specific problems and obstacles they are facing. They are seeking insight and concrete tools to address their difficulties differently.
Long term:
Making fundamental changes in our lives require a deeper understanding of what influences our behavior and day-to-day living. Longer term treatment helps people incrementally integrate these fundamental changes, so that the changes are enduring.
In person Sessions: Mondays and Thursdays only (mid-town Manhattan office)
Telehealth (Video): Monday through Thursday, available to residents of New York State, Minnesota and Maryland.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Warmly,
Stephen
