Services
TeleTherapy
TeleTherapy provides accessible mental health support through secure video sessions. Ideal for clients in Manhattan, Long Island, and Upstate New York, this service addresses depression, anxiety, and relationship challenges. Sessions mirror in-person depth, focusing on unconscious patterns affecting daily life.
Depression Treatment
Specialized care for depression uses psychodynamic exploration to uncover root causes. By examining early-life influences and unconscious beliefs, treatment fosters sustainable recovery. Techniques target maladaptive thought patterns impacting self-perception and relationships, promoting emotional resilience.
Marital Therapy
Marital therapy addresses relationship conflicts through a relational model framework. Sessions explore communication breakdowns and unconscious dynamics perpetuating discord. The goal is to rebuild trust and foster healthier interaction patterns aligned with both partners' needs.
PTSD Counseling
PTSD counseling focuses on processing traumatic experiences through psychodynamic analysis. By examining how past trauma shapes current behaviors, clients learn to mitigate symptoms like hypervigilance and emotional numbness, restoring functional daily living.
