Helping People Find Therapists & Advocating for Ethical and Healthy Therapy & Marriage Counseling Practices

My Approach to Helping

Hi:
I am a neuropsychologist who specializes in clinical neuropsychology and clinical psychology with two convenient offices in Manhattan: Midtown West and Midtown East. I treat individuals with central nervous system disorders affecting cognitive, emotional, social, and occupational functioning. I also treat individuals with problems in living (relationship and work-related issues), psychosomatic disorders (stress-related diseases), bariatric and fitness for duty evaluations, neuropsychological (brain-related) and psychological workups, 504 accommodations for school placement, as well as pain management.

Easy to talk to, warm, and empathetic, I am there for you to help you move your life forward in the best way possible. Please check out my website, give me a call, and set up an initial consultation.

Best wishes,

- Dr Jay Seitz
