I have named my practice the Counseling and Connection Center because providing high-quality counseling is only part of my mission. We live in a world in which we are increasingly isolated. People cross the street with their eyes and ears glued to their phones and oblivious to their surroundings. Families rarely have dinner together or eat without talking to each other.
The irony of today's world is that we are able to instantly connect to each other, yet we feel more alone than ever. Sherry Turkle talks about this in her book Alone Together. The connection part of my practice is about helping you make genuine connections that will lead to increased satisfaction. They may be connections to the parts of you that you have ignored or they may be more meaningful connections with your friends and family.
Strengthening these connections can help you to feel more grounded and a part of the larger community in a way that Internet connections are not able to. To provide excellent service to a limited number of clients within a private practice setting.

Who decided that an "hour" of therapy should be 50 minutes?
It wasn't Freud who introduced the idea of the 50-minute therapy session.
It wasn't the clients, who lose 10 minutes out of every 60.
The common wisdom is that the 50 minute hour allows the therapist 10 minutes for paperwork; there doesn't seem to be any consensus of how this tradition began.
I am standing tradition on its head.
All of my sessions are a minimum of 60 minutes.
I love what I do and 50 minutes go by too fast.
It allows more work to be done.

When you read an article or a page titled "Choosing the Right Therapist, " it's usually a build-up to the self-serving conclusion that the author is the one you should choose.
This ain't that!
It would be presumptuous of me to tell you who the right therapist is for you.
I don't know you.
I don't know your reasons for going to therapy.
I don't know if you have had therapy before or if you are new to therapy.
I don't know the issues you have been struggling with and what you want to change in your life.

Your therapy is about YOU, not me.
I'm glad to share my education and experience with you, but it is only one part of a much larger picture.
I could have a huge display of certificates and diplomas in my office and still be one of the biggest jerks you've ever met!
I have over thirty years of experience treating individuals, couples, and families.
I have worked for several agencies and a major HMO before beginning a full-time practice in 1995.
From 1995 through 2013, I was in full-time practice in Staten Island, NY (Brief Therapy Center of Staten Island).
