Marriage and family therapists (MFTs) are uniquely suited to addiction counseling because they are trained to approach addiction from a systemic perspective.
This means that they view addiction as a problem that affects not only the individual struggling with addiction but also their family, social, and environmental contexts.
MFTs are trained to work with individuals, couples, and families to identify and address the underlying causes and triggers of addiction. They can help clients develop strengthen their relationships with loved ones, and create a supportive home environment that promotes recovery.
MFTs also have specialized training in the treatment of co-occurring mental health disorders, such as depression and anxiety, which are often present in individuals struggling with addiction.
Overall, the systemic perspective and specialized training of MFTs make them uniquely suited to addiction counseling. They can help individuals struggling with addiction and their families navigate the challenges of recovery and develop a plan for long-term success.
I let my clients determine what we do in session.
I don’t steer the conversation in a direction the client doesn’t want to go.
And I never ask a client to do anything they don’t want to do.
No, we do not take insurance.
Therapy is a personal, confidential treatment. When insurance companies get involved they require intimate details about what goes on in our sessions that I’m not comfortable revealing.
I let my clients determine how often and how long we meet. I’m always happy to offer advice but this is your therapy, not mine.
With some rare exceptions that we can discuss therapy is completely confidential.
I will not even confirm or deny you are a client without your written permission.
Fill out the form on my contact page, or call me any time: (914) 907-1497.
Feel free to leave a message.
Nobody can access my voice mailbox but me.
I require 24-hour notice of cancellation to avoid billing you for the session.
Obviously, there is some leeway in the event of emergencies.
We begin when you call me or fill out my contact form.
Once we get on the phone, I do a short interview to determine whether I’m the right therapist for you. If not, I will refer you to a therapist who is.
If I believe we are a good fit, I will invite you to ask any questions you may have so you feel comfortable with us working together.
Finally, we may set an appointment, at which time I will get your email address so that I can send you an invitation to my web portal where you can sign an Office Policy and Privacy Policy document.

From ages 18 to 100.
I don’t think of therapy in terms of modalities.
I have the training and life experience to help with most issues my clients present.
How I help is completely dependent on my impression of what will be the most effective method.
In other words, I have no preconceived notions of what kind of help my clients need.
I’m a Marriage and Family Therapist (or Couples Counselor), licensed by the State of California (LMFT License 98803).
I’m also certified by the State of California as a Substance Abuse Counselor
I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts from the New York University, and received my Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy With Distinction from Mercy College.
In addition I am constantly training in new modalities. In the last year
I have been trained in Mindfulness techniques, Neuro Linguistic Programming and Brainspotting (a very effective and innovative technique for getting the most out of therapy in the most efficient and beneficial manner).
