Integrative Therapy That Works.

I am a Manhattan holistic therapist and relationship counselor and considered highly regarded, respected, and recommended in my field. I founded Present Centered Therapies over 24 years ago, building my practice and reputation in the city and working with many diverse populations over the years. I immediately make my clients feel comfortable by rapidly building trust and confidence through my integrative dialogue process. Present Centered Therapies is the natural outcome of my own therapeutic and holistic psychological training, alongside my own personal development and the spiritual work I’ve actively pursued throughout my life.

My holistic methodology integrates Gestalt and Experiential therapy, Western Psychology, Metaphysics and Eastern Spirituality, as well as current mindfulness, meditation, and stress reduction therapies. I have trained with some of the most highly regarded couples therapists, including David Schnarch (Passionate Marriage), Susan Johnson (Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy), Harville Hendrix (Getting the Love You Want) and Ester Perel (Mating in Captivity). Over the course of two decades my work in the Present Centered Modality, has proven itself to be a unique and powerful approach that effectively creates “real change in real time.” It has been successfully utilized by a large number and range of individuals and couples seeking personal development, inner growth and relationship healing.

The core techniques of Integrative Psychotherapy are specific to each particular modality being used and can move fluently from one to another as the therapy unfolds.  A client may need experiential work (new self-awareness or an emotionally corrective experience) and then benefit from something cognitive or behavioral. There are also times when a more transcendent framework would be helpful, so an existential or spiritual approach can then be utilized. This could include references to Buddhism for right action or speech, or A Course in Miracles when forgiveness would help to further the healing and move forward.
