Let me also help you solve your unique PERSONAL PROBLEMS. Find relief from social & work anxieties, fears, phobias, loneliness, abuse, PTSD, eating disorders, depression, OCD, addictions, bad habits, pain, learning disabilities … & more. As a Professor Emer. of Brooklyn College of CUNY and former Adjunct Prof. at C.W. Post College of LIU and Hunter College of CUNY, I even taught graduate students how to do what I do. Now I can Help you reshape your life.

I also have advanced training in Guided Imagery, Meditation (Zen, TM, Yoga), Learning Disabilities, and Separation/Divorce Mediation. If you can go Out-of-Network, you will be reimbursed. Because I specialize in SHORT-TERM THERAPY, many clients who cannot go out-of-network elect to pay out-of-pocket for fast results. Come for a FREE CONSULTATION!

Because of distance from office, or COVID issues, or patient convenience, many of our sessions currently are by phone or Zoom. If you have completed both vaccinations, you may have an In-Person session. Payment is by Cash or via Venmo, Zelle, or Paypal PRIOR to the session.
