Most people reach out at a hard moment. Three common reasons people get in touch:
The same arguments keep repeating, or you have stopped talking at all. Couples counseling helps you find the pattern underneath and change it together.
Discovery of an affair shakes the ground a relationship stands on. Infidelity counseling gives both partners a structured way through the crisis.
Anger that costs you at home or at work can be read, understood and used well. Moshe wrote the book on it: Anger Is Your Compass.
Healthy, fulfilling relationships are a key ingredient of health and well-being. Couples counseling helps partners find, develop and craft intimacy, love and fulfillment.
Making a marriage work takes steady investment. Marriage therapy gives couples the skills and strategies to manage life together in a healthy and fulfilling way.
Infidelity deeply affects the betrayed partner and the relationship as a whole. Rebuilding trust is not a simple process, but it is possible.
Anger can hinder, wear down or even destroy life and relationships. Used wisely, it can serve as an opportunity for personal growth and better relationships.
Executive coaching strengthens leadership and helps leaders manage organizational change, complexity and pressure.
One-to-one psychotherapy for self-esteem, anxiety, life transitions and the patterns that keep repeating in your relationships.
Send the short form or call. Say in a sentence or two what you are looking for and how to reach you.
About 15 minutes to talk through what is going on, ask questions and see whether working together is a good fit.
Meet in person at the Midtown office near Grand Central Station, or online by video.

On the brink of divorce, spiral2grow therapist helped us save our marriage. We still have challenges, yet we are committed to handle them. Our therapist gave us the ability to create a healthy and happy marriage richer than either of us ever imagined. It was the hardest thing we have ever done, and the best thing we have ever done. We never thought we could overcome the challenges we faced.

It is great to control the situation rather than be controlled by it. By applying the techniques that I have learned from your anger management classes, I am able to recognize my own negative self talk. Now, I am using your “formula” and taking the time to be patient, rational and consider the consequences of my alternatives. I have been able to reduce my personal stress level dramatically and have more fun.

No. The first session is a full working session and is charged like any regular session. What is free is the 15-minute phone consultation offered to every new inquiry. Use that call to ask questions and decide whether you want to book. Feeling comfortable with your therapist is one of the most important factors in therapy, so the call is worth making.
You and your partner identify the points of conflict in your relationship and decide what needs to change, both between you and in how each of you behaves. That involves learning to communicate more effectively, listen more closely, stop competing with each other, find common life goals and share responsibilities. Sometimes a session resembles individual psychotherapy, sometimes mediation, and sometimes it is educational.
Yes. The practice offers online sessions by video, on Zoom. You log in at a time scheduled in advance, and each video session is 45 minutes, the same as an office session. Online sessions are convenient when travel, schedule or accessibility makes it hard to get to the Midtown office.
The practice does not bill insurance directly. It works as an out-of-network provider. If your plan includes out-of-network benefits, you may be reimbursed for part of the fee, and the practice gives you a statement of services to submit. Call your insurer first to ask whether your plan covers mental health services, whether you have an out-of-network deductible, and whether it limits sessions per year.
