I've been a psychologist and certified group therapist for over 20 years. I have a very welcoming private practice in a cozy office that is easily accessible to the B/C trains. My clients include people of many races, religions, and ethnic groups, as well as gay and lesbian individuals. I was born in Brooklyn. My great grandparents came from Russia during a time of persecution. My own upbringing was reformed Judaism, and I was on the receiving end of discrimination for years during the 60's on Long Island. Thus I am very sensitive to issues of diversity. Many people from the more religious Jewish communities have found me helpful in giving them the room to explore their feelings about their own spirituality. That is also true of non-Jewish clients. The clients in my weekly group are African American, Latino, Italian, Jewish, and include and have included more than one gay group member. In all the work I do, my intent is to get to know you in your entirety, to listen openly and to learn from you, in order to best help you find better ways of coping or to make your own decisions about life choices. My little dog, Simba, is usually in the office, and many people find him to be a meaningful part of their experience here. However, he is mostly a "silent partner", so is not intimidating in any way. Please see below for a journal article in which I talk about some of Simba's "work" in my practice. The link is "A Cigar is Sometimes Just a Cigar, But a Dog is Never Just a Dog". It gives you an idea of how flexible and creative and thoughtful I am in my work....I believe that a clinician's integrity is central, and that honest self-reflection on the part of the therapist is crucial. I am happy to offer a 10-15 minute phone consultation free of charge to help you decide if I might be the right therapist for you. I accept a wide range of fees, according to ability to pay. Some insurances do cover me as an out-of-network provider as well.
