Professional statement

Tim is a New York-based psychotherapist who specializes in treating depression, anxiety, LGBTQ+ related issues, and compulsive or out-of-control sexual behavior. Self-esteem is often a big part of all of these issues as well.

He uses talk therapy with research-based tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), DBT, and other modalities, to work with clients who have often found previous therapy lacking in momentum or insight. Tim focuses on both support and behavioral change, and has extensive experience helping clients move forward in their lives.

Tim received his MSW from Columbia, an MBA from ESADE, and postgraduate training in CBT, Psychoanalytic Therapy, and Positive Psychology Coaching from NYC institutes including NYU and William Alanson White. He is currently finishing up a certificate in Sexual Health from the University of Michigan.

Tim currently sees clients virtually and in-person throughout the week at his office at 5th Avenue and 30th Street. Please feel free to email or call and leave a VM for a free consult, he will reply within 24 hrs.


Message to clients

Do you want to change how you feel, your habits, or how you interact with others? Or, do you engage in sexual behaviors that you feel are out of control, compulsive or like an addiction?  You deserve a therapist who will listen with empathy and offer insight without judgment, someone who will help you figure out what is holding you back and how to overcome it.

I aim for sessions to be collaborative, uplifting, and above all, helpful. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, LGBTQ+ related issues (I identify as LGBT+), or compulsive/out-of-control sexual behavior, I will offer the insight and tools to push you forward, with the support you deserve along the way. Together we can address your concerns in a way that is effective and at your comfort level.

Please email or call and leave a VM for a free consult, I will reply within 24 hrs.
