More about George

- LCSW
Welcome! I am so glad you have taken the first — and most difficult step — of reaching out. I have over five years' experience in intimacy therapy and all the themes to which it relates: addiction, relationships, stress and anxiety, depression, and things people turn to as initially adaptive coping mechanisms. I am a lifelong New Yorker and finished at the top of my graduate-school class studying Advanced Clinical Practice at Columbia University. I promise that I will devote every ounce of my capabilities to help process your unique journey and what it all means. Together, we will set short-term, measurable goals while also collaborating on getting to the roots of issues at a pace that is most comfortable for you. Over the course of my career, I have developed an affinity for working with those seeking mental-health counseling for the first time (or returning to therapy after taking an absence), as I believe that my gentle and empathetic manner make for a good match.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
