How do I make an appointment?
You can make an appointment by calling (212) 691-4408 and leaving
a message. I will return your call within one business day and will
offer you an appointment within five business days of your original
phone call.
Where is your office located?
My office is located in the Chelsea area
of Manhattan, adjacent to the Meat Packing District, near the corner
of Eighth Avenue and Fourteenth Street. (The building entrance is actually
on Fourteenth Street although the address is listed as "80 Eighth
Avenue".)
See
the map for specific directions to my office.
The closest subway stops are at Eighth Avenue and Fourteenth (A, C,
E, L), Seventh Avenue and Fourteenth (1, 2, 3), Sixth Avenue and Fourteenth
(F) and the PATH at Sixth and Fourteenth. The closest buses are the
crosstown (M14), the Seventh/Eighth Avenue (M20), and the Ninth Avenue
(M11). There are several parking garages in the area.
Do I have to come to sessions weekly?
How long do you typically work with patients?
How will we know if we're done with therapy?
The frequency of therapy sessions, the length of time
we work together, and the termination of treatment are decisions the
client and I work out together. I will attempt to outline treatment
options including the pros and cons of any choices we would make. I
have extensive experience working with clients both in brief treatments
(six to ten sessions) and on intermediate and longer-term bases. The
most important issue is that we have a shared understanding of the
goals we have agreed on and the methods we are employing to create
change in your life.
