Therapy Options

Individual Therapy

Typically, individual therapy is meeting one or two times per week in my office. A goal is set, and therapy works toward achieving that goal. My style of therapy is supportive, dynamic, and solution focused.

Couples Therapy

Relationships can be difficult, especially during times of change. Couples come to therapy for a wide range of reasons. Infidelity, trust, arguing, money issues, child and parenting difficulties, loss of romance and/or sexual contact, and empty nests, are just some of the reasons couples seek therapy.  Couples therapy can be very useful with the goal of changing the dynamic between two people that has been problematic. In couples therapy, I’m looking  at what’s possible for the relationship and moving toward what is appealing for both partners. I have a successful track record helping people in a diversity of relationships solve their issues. I’m active in couples sessions, making certain that both partners feel safe and comfortable, regardless of the reason(s) they’re in therapy.

Group Therapy

Group therapy can be helpful in many situations. People feel supported in group therapy. People learn to communicate effectively and in a way that’s of value to them. Group therapy can be a means of networking when there’s a common issue that someone needs information about. When I’m forming a group, I’ll post announcements and schedule information, including dates, times, and location. Currently, my groups run from September to May.

Please check the Westchester Group Psychotherapy Association at WGPS.org for a listing of many groups offered in Westchester County, NY.

 Rapid Resolution Therapy

As a result of brain based research in the field of psychology, we now have the knowledge to change things more quickly and effectively than before we studied the brain from this perspective. I have the honor of being personally trained by Dr. Jon Connelly, and other memory reconsolidation experts who develop life changing, highly effective, and unique methods of treatment.

The IRRT Institute, NYU, Harvard University, Yale University, and most Medical and Psychiatric Institutes continue to develop new ways to use mental health treatment, based on research and evidence of it’s effectiveness. I supervise other therapists using these and other models. I’m also the creator and moderator of the the group listserve for Certified RRT Practitioners around the world.

Past events can have a negative effect on thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. These experiences can range from something as mundane as a sharp word from a teacher, parent, or peer, to traumatic events as severe as rape, incest, grief, loss, and acts of war.

Rapid Resolution Therapy™ is an effective, painless, quick treatment that clears the negative influence of past events very quickly. Rapid Resolution Therapy can eliminate the negative emotional and behavioral influence of traumatic events, whether these experiences are at the top of your mind or not. It isn’t necessary to relive past events or experience any pain. My intention is to have your mind experiencing things with clarity, and operating in a way that has benefit, possibility, and appeal. Dramatic improvements in thoughts, feelings, and behavior occur. Unconscious conflicts blocking desired change are pinpointed and resolved. As the root cause of problems is cleared, positive change endures. Energy begins to expand as things are cleared up and reorganized.

Therapy Supervision

Since I’m an LCSW-R with over 25 years of experience, I’m able to supervise therapists working toward their licensing requirements for practice hours.

Please check with your professional licensing agency to see what specifications are needed to complete these requirements. I can supervise from a perspective of  many different treatment methods and modalities in which I’m trained and certified, or any combination of several methods of treatment.
