George Embiricos(He/Him/His)

George Embiricos, LCSW, CPTT specializes in supporting those struggling with intimacy, relationship issues, addiction recovery, vulnerability, and life transitions. He offers a safe and judgment-free space where the healing process can begin collaboratively. His main goals are to help you rebuild your emotional wellbeing and to move forward toward a healthier, more purposeful life. In early work, you and he will center on how you take care of yourself; tracking immediate and tangible progress while also exploring and addressing the deeper roots of issues. Only when self-esteem and confidence are actively being built can one seek properly to help with the wants and needs of others.

George has over seven years of experience as a psychotherapist. He is a lifelong New Yorker and earned his Master’s Degree in Advanced Clinical Practice from Columbia University, graduating at the top of his class. He worked for four years at NYC's Center for Intimacy Recovery, where he helped individuals and led groups overcoming barriers to connection and emotional closeness. He has substantial experience working alongside individuals in therapy dealing with issues related to intimacy, having accumulated thousands of hours of hands-on, client-focused experience. A large percentage of his clients struggle with addictions and impulsive behaviors. He uses a two-pronged approach, asking, "How do we measure progress and how can we get there?" and "What are the roots of this issue?" The two blend to create a more promising journey ahead; one that wrestles free from repetitive patterns and starts to build more rewarding and healthier relationships — both with yourself and with others.

George is one of only a few male practitioners in New York to hold a CPTT (Certified Partner Trauma Therapist) Certificate, trained to help partners navigate the complex emotions and challenges that arise from betrayal trauma.
