CBT-plus For a time, I received supervision at the American Cognitive Behavior Institute in NYC, one of the pioneering training centers for the wildly-popular therapy approach of cognitive behavioral therapy. I learned a lot about this method and utilized it in my practice. When I moved to a new NYC therapy practice, Tribeca Therapy, weRead more
Support Therapy and Instability
Right at the corner from our NYC therapy office, in Tribeca on Church and Reade Streets, this image caught my eye. Stuck on a stoplight amongst graffiti and stickers, “SUPPORT THERAPY AND INSTABILITY”, shouted at me from where I stood on the sidewalk.

“The Pregnant Therapist”–New York Times
Pregnant Therapist On April 28th no less than 15 people emailed me Jessica Zucker’s article, “The pregnant therapist,” from the New York Times.

“All by myself!” Independent versus dependent
I took my daughter to the park last week, which these days means we head right to the swings. Just as we started swinging (“Higher! Higher!”) the swing next to us opened up and a mother moved to hoist her (I’m guessing) three-year old son up to the seat. These swings, I should mention, areRead more
