Addictive Disorder Treatment in NYC
I have a specialization in addictive disorders. I treat patients using an approach that I developed called Assimilative Dynamic Addiction PsychoTherapy (ADAPT). This approach views individual psychodynamic psychotherapy as the core of the treatment, but it also integrates other treatments as needed and these might include self-help groups like Alcoholics Anonymous, psychiatric medications, and group therapy.
People might see me for a consultation to determine the type of addiction treatment they need. They might see me exclusively for treatment, if their addictive disorder is not dangerously severe, or they might see me to help them maintain abstinence, if abstinence is their goal. I take a compassionate approach to addiction treatment.
