With whom do I do therapy?
- children ages 10 to 18
- individual adults

What issues do I treat?
I treat a range of concerns:
my two major sub-specialties are
Marital Harmony
Anger Management
I also address issues such as:
Anxiety Disorders, including:
- Panic Attack, Phobia, and General Anxiety Disorder
- Obsessive-Compulsive-Disorder (O.C.D.)
- Post-Traumatic-Stress-Disorder (P.T.S.D.)
Depressive Disorders
and individuals facing the loss of loved ones, of health or of wealth.
Parent Education: Encouraging Child Creativity, Cooperation, Compliance and Joy.
I help people concerned about the meaning of their daily life and of their religious life.
What methods do I use?
My approach is to integrate contemporary strategies from secular psychology with
traditional principles from Torah literature. Having been a therapist for over 40 years,
I have learned to use a number of different therapeutic modalities.
In order of their weight in my current practice, these include:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Interpersonal Communications Training
Humanistic Existential Logotherapeutic Therapies as practiced by Carl Rogers, Irvin Yalom and Viktor Frankl
Relaxation Training, Guided Imagery and Eriksonian Hypnosis
Psycho-Dynamic Therapy
Therapeutic Dogs for Anxiety and Attachment Disorders
The specific set of techniques that I use are tailored to the needs of the specific client.
I help clients to identify and to draw on their strengths in mastering problems.
My particular approach is called “Solution –Oriented-Psychology” because it helps clients
achieve a solution to their specific goals in short-term-therapy,
rather than through a long-term, global restructuring of their personality.
