Professional Help

Can I see you for therapy?

No, while I am a licensed clinical psychologist in California (PSY34269) and New York (020357), I am not accepting patients.

This website, newsletter, and community are for learning only, not for professional help. If you need treatment, please talk to a medical doctor, licensed therapist, or other healthcare provider.

If you're seeking therapy, please consult my resource guide for finding mental health professionals in your area.
