Anxiety therapy for professional women in
New York City and New York State.

Anxiety Therapy

I see women in therapy who never imagined anxiety could impact so many parts of their life. Whether that's daily functioning or a work presentation, it can be overwhelming to have ruminations about making mistakes.

Rather than rush to solve what appears to be the problem, I ask direct questions, like: "What if you made a mistake, what might happen then?"

Once the mistake stops being the focus, it becomes possible to look at what’s actually driving the fear. This is where depth therapy, psychodynamic therapy, comes in.

Psychodynamic therapy provides a way to talk about the past and present. It offers people the opportunity to work through themes that reoccur in life, provides language for painful emotions, and makes room so that a cognitive technique or a mindfulness skill can be utilized more effectively.
