It's Not Always Postpartum Depression: Postpartum Anxiety In Therapy
We need to talk about the postpartum anxiety that I see in my NYC therapy practice.Postpartum anxiety is more than worry or nerves. Your anxiety goes through the roof, you're more anxious than not, intensely worried or even panicked–not just because of the sleepless nights or the new demands, but because anxiety is at the forefront of your mind. The phrase “postpartum anxiety” is what many…

"We Got This": A Conversation On Pain And Intimacy In An NYC Therapy Practice
I met Rachael six years ago, in the early stages of working to expand Tribeca Therapy into a group practice. She has a quality that is difficult to describe, but known well to everyone on our staff and certainly to her patients. I asked her some questions about this in an attempt to better understand her ability to connect with patients who are in pain.Matt: You have a remarkable ability to…

Growing From The Relationship: An Art Therapist Talks About Social Anxiety
In my NYC art therapy practice, I work with a lot of folks who are looking for therapy for social anxiety. Many who seek this sort of help find that in social interactions they are so uncomfortable and in their head that it renders them completely stumped and stuck around others.

Setting Teens Up To Thrive During Their College Experience

Time-Release Therapy
As a therapist, I often wonder how to maximize the work I do with people. Forty five minutes a week of therapy is not much. You might get the initial “hit” of enlightenment, closeness, catharsis, empowerment, and so on but in order for those 45 minutes of therapy to really work their magic, the work needs to be continual. When you leave the space and hit the streets of NYC, what happens? When…

Thoughts on Hope in NYC Therapy
Creating Hope: It’s life or death. Therapy for depression. Here’s how it can go when we need help with depression: You haven’t landed that full-time job yet, you're living back with your parents after graduation, you're feeling isolated from those you went to school with and are scared to talk to them. They have their lives SO together. This has been going on for over 6 months. You broke up with…

That it could be other: The therapy of possibilities
Therapy at its best is about expanding the edges if what we see as possible, from our therapy and from our lives. In a sense, my concern when I encounter a new therapy patient in my NYC office is less with what they're asking for and more with what they aren't asking for--what they refrain from wanting from their therapy (and their lives) by virtue of having given up (or failed to ever consider)…

No way. Why? Because we don't believe in the premise.There are a lot of modalities of therapy and counseling we're into, and we love group therapy. But the assumption of a support group is that the thing…
