Aaron Newman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with an office centrally located in the historic NOMAD/ Flat Iron District of Manhattan. Aaron has over 30 years of experience working with individuals, couples and families who struggle with intense mood states such as anxiety and depression, stress or interpersonal conflicts that arise from major life transitions or change. He has provided training, supervision and clinical vision to mental health agencies serving families and children throughout New York City and Westchester and has promoted the philosophy of trauma informed and client centered care in his practice as well as for others.

Using Cognitive Behavioral therapy and other evidence based techniques, Aaron will help you understand interconnections between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. You will learn practical coping strategies and ways to manage your own mood states. Aaron strongly believes in the role of psycho-education - not only building coping skills with his clients but making sure that they understand the psychological and neurobiological concepts behind those techniques. He has had specialized training in Couples Therapy, Family Therapy and EMDR.

Taking an integrated, holistic approach to understanding how our moods effect our bodies as well as minds, and how maladaptive coping strategies such as over eating, poor sleep hygiene or abuse of substances may affect our emotions, Aaron treats the whole person. Aaron also uses mindfulness practices through integrating breathing and relaxation exercises. With his enormous amount of experience in working with people going through life transitions, he is a highly skilled therapist who brings compassion, transparency, hope and a sense of humor to his practice.
