Therapy for Men in Brooklyn Heights

I offer in-person, psychodynamic psychotherapy for men who want to better understand themselves, their relationships, and the patterns that keep them feeling stuck.

I work with both straight and gay men, often around questions of intimacy, dating, relationships, identity, and emotional connection. Many of the men I see are successful in their professional lives but find themselves struggling in ways that aren't immediately obvious, even to themselves.

My approach draws on extensive psychoanalytic training and years of clinical experience. I offer a thoughtful, engaged, and highly individualized therapeutic relationship in my private Brooklyn Heights office.

Common Reasons Men Reach Out

You might be:

  • Dating but unable to build something that lasts

  • Feeling disconnected or emotionally shut down in relationships

  • Repeating the same patterns with different people

  • Struggling with anxiety, overthinking, or low mood

  • Unsure how to express what you feel, or even what you feel

  • Navigating questions about sex, intimacy, or identity

  • Feeling lonely, even with friends or an active social life

These are more common than you might think and they’re all things we can work on.

Why Therapy Can Be Different for Men

A lot of men come into therapy unsure of what to expect.

You might not be used to talking about your inner life in this way. Or you may have tried before and found it unhelpful or too passive.

My approach is different.

Therapy with me is active, direct, and focused. We won’t just talk, we’ll work to understand the patterns that are shaping your relationships and keeping you stuck.

How I Work

I use a relational, insight-oriented approach, which means we look closely at how you relate to other people and how those patterns developed over time.

I’m engaged in the process. I’ll ask direct questions, offer observations, and challenge you when it’s useful. At the same time, the work is collaborative. We’re figuring this out together.

The goal isn’t just insight. It’s change:

  • clearer communication

  • more stable relationships

  • a stronger sense of what you want

A More Personal Approach to Psychotherapy

I maintain an independent practice in Brooklyn Heights, where I see patients in a dedicated, comfortable office rather than through a large clinic or therapy platform.

For many people, having a consistent place to come each week, and an ongoing relationship with a therapist who comes to know them well, is an important part of the work.

My practice is grounded in the belief that meaningful change develops through sustained attention, curiosity, and a relationship in which difficult things can be explored honestly.

Working with Straight and Gay Men

I work with men across sexual orientations and backgrounds.

As a gay therapist, I bring both personal and clinical understanding to working with:

  • dating and relationships

  • sex and intimacy

  • identity and self-understanding

For some clients, this is central to the work. For others, it’s simply part of the broader picture.

Getting Started

I see patients in person at my Brooklyn Heights office, with virtual sessions available when appropriate.

My fee is $300 for a 45-minute psychotherapy session. I am an out-of-network provider and can provide superbills for patients seeking insurance reimbursement.

I offer a complimentary 15-minute initial consultation to discuss what brings you to therapy and whether working together might be a good fit.
