You look like you're functioning, managing your responsibilities, showing up for the people who depend on you. But internally, it can feel heavy, unstable, or quietly shut down. Maybe it's anxiety that won't settle, or a restlessness that makes it hard to feel present. Maybe it's the opposite: things go flat, distant, numb. You're thoughtful and self-aware enough to notice you keep repeating the same emotional and relational patterns, even when you don't want to. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 8 years of experience, working with adults through anxiety, depression, self-doubt, and the relationship patterns that keep people stuck. I offer a space where you don't have to perform "okay," where we can slow things down and actually understand what's underneath instead of just managing symptoms. My approach is depth-oriented and relational. We look at where these patterns come from, often early attachment or family-of-origin dynamics, so the shifts you make in session actually hold outside of it. I offer online therapy for adults and couples across New York (including New York City), New Jersey, Connecticut, Oregon, and Florida. If you're tired of white-knuckling your way through anxiety, overwhelm, or the same relationship patterns on repeat, I'd love to talk. Reach out to schedule a consultation, and see if we're a good fit.

My passion is to provide support and guidance therapeutically and through coaching to help you meet your personal life goals.

Depression, anxiety, ADHD, and chronic stress can turn everyday life into a constant uphill climb. You're managing work and daily responsibilities, but only by burning energy to stay focused and keep things from slipping. From the outside, things may look fine, yet inside, it takes consistent effort to keep moving forward. It's frustrating when pushing harder doesn't help and nothing clicks. I offer a structured, goal-oriented approach centered on clarity, accountability, and practical strategies, helping you build momentum, improve focus, and feel steady and confident navigating daily demands and long-term goals.

It may be a little unorthodox to introduce my practice to you on a negative note. But the truth is that what brought me to Goodtherapy was..."not-good therapy"! My own, as patient. With an intelligent, highly trained practitioner, who knows how to practice good therapy...and didn't. This got me thinking: How is it that good therapists go...off track? Gold standard skills, compassion, caring, empathy...are, evidently, not enough. I believe I found the missing piece. To be a good therapist is to be humble. Humility in action is the foundation of safety and success in treatment. Humility keeps a therapist open, curious, and honest - and keeps this honesty respectful. It acknowledges your power as a patient - to really let me know how my words and actions affect you, knowing this helps me help you. Emotional pain is rooted in lived experience, and only new experience can touch it. Symptoms are distressing, but feeling trapped, alone, or unreachable within them is...unbearable. It's likely that the emotional events that caused your distress were experienced in this way: Alone and unbearable. Therapy is a healing conversation, and it heals by giving you a new experience, one that unfolds as you relate your experience to me, and I relate to you. So we undo your aloneness together; you'll find me respectfully wondering about little things I notice, moment to moment, as you tell your story - the glimpses of feeling that accompany your words - the music of your problem, so to speak. This is a gentle process, and very, very powerful. It orients you to yourself and your "problem" in a new way - with safety, sometimes surprising speed, and depth. Humility in action give me the power to heal, and is the basis of the two models I rely on to help others (Sue Johnson's EFT for couples and families, and Diana Fosha's AEDP for individuals. "Undoing aloneness" is a term of Dr. Fosha's). This site provides good information on both.

Are you feeling emotionally overwhelmed or stuck? If so, notice that you've already moved in a positive direction by searching for a therapist to help you overcome obstacles and guide you toward greater fulfillment. Change is not always easy, but it is always possible. Often, uncomfortable feelings or aspects of ourselves that we'd rather not confront get in the way. We hope to protect ourselves through avoidance, and yet avoidance is often the very reason we can't move forward. Whether you're dealing with anxiety or depression, relationship difficulties, family conflict, life transitions, job or school stress, or painful experiences from your past, we can work together to address your concerns. We will uncover the meaning you attach to your thoughts, feelings and experiences so that you can consider alternative perspectives and choices to help you progress. I'll work with you to clarify your goals, identify steps to get there, and meet challenges along the way. We will take it one step at a time and work at a pace that feels comfortable to you. I invite you to take the next step to contact me via phone or e-mail, or visit my website: www.drleesaltzman.com and simply click the "Schedule a Consultation" link. I look forward to meeting with you to determine how I can help you get on track.

Change is the only constant in life, but that doesn't necessarily mean it is easy! Pain is an indicator that something isn't working and it is time for change. Like most things worthwhile, change requires hard work. Guiding you through the process of change is my lifework. Whatever your struggle, I'm here to work through it with you --you are not alone! The purpose of psychotherapy is to help you improve your life by making meaningful changes. A good therapist should, first and foremost, be able to help you reduce the immediate distress that has pushed you to look for treatment. Once that initial relief is accomplished, the way is then cleared to focus on the bigger-picture of your life: your beliefs and feelings about yourself and others, your interpersonal style, the usual ways in which you protect yourself from getting hurt, the influence of your childhood experiences, and many other factors, including highlighting and using your hard-won strengths, all with the aim of bringing about changes that lead to lasting improvements in quality of life.
