Individual psychotherapy for adults in NYC
A deeper way to understand what keeps repeating.
Psychodynamic therapy can help you understand the patterns beneath anxiety, depression, self-criticism, and difficult relationships.
Psychotherapy in Midtown Manhattan
Relief matters. Understanding matters too.
You may know that something needs to change without knowing why familiar difficulties keep returning.
In therapy, we look closely at what is happening now and at the experiences, expectations, and protective strategies that shape how you move through the world. The goal is not to force you into a formula. It is to develop a more accurate and compassionate understanding of yourself, so that new choices become possible.
My approach is psychodynamic, relational, and responsive to the person in front of me.
The office
A comfortable place to talk.
In-person sessions take place in my Midtown Manhattan office, with online sessions also available.
The suite includes a quiet waiting area and views across Midtown.
Areas of focus
What brings people to therapy
Anxiety and overthinking
Worry, avoidance, self-doubt, or the feeling that you can never quite settle.
02Depression and disconnection
Low mood, isolation, loss of motivation, or difficulty finding meaning.
03Self-worth and inadequacy
Shame, comparison, perfectionism, or a persistent fear of not being enough.
04Relationship patterns
Repeated conflicts, trouble trusting, difficult boundaries, or feeling unseen.
The work of therapy
More room to think, feel, and choose.
Therapy offers a relationship in which the details of your experience can be taken seriously. We pay attention to what is happening, what it connects to, and how old strategies may still be directing present choices.

About Jonathan
Curious, engaged, and individualized.
I am a New York State licensed psychotherapist working with adults of all ages.
I completed my training at the Metropolitan Institute for Training in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy. I aim to create an honest, judgment-free environment where we can understand your personal experience, including the parts that may be difficult to put into words.
I do not believe therapy should feel generic. The work develops through attention to who you are, what you have lived through, and what happens between us.
