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

My Approach to Helping

I am a psychiatrist in private practice in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, and have been in practice for 20 years. I am not the type of psychiatrist who pushes pills rather than talk to his patients; my desire is to truly understand the person seeking my help and collaborate as a guide in the process of healing. My orientation towards therapy is psychodynamic, but I also make use of cognitive techniques. My approach is holistic, and I may recommend nutritional supplements, deep breathing and exercise before suggesting medication. I also believe that every person is placed on here on Earth for a purpose, and this belief causes me to approach each client/patient with a profound respect for his individuality.
