David Tannenbaum, LCSW, Psychotherapist in Private Practice on the Upper West Side, NYC

Most people seek out a psychotherapist out of a feeling of discomfort. They are tired of living with constant anxiety, a vague feeling of discontent, a sense that something is missing in their lives.

The literal meaning of the word courage is to tell your story with your whole heart. Recognizing that sharing your story is a strength, not a weakness, is an important beginning on your journey.

You find peace not by rearranging the circumstances of your life,but by realizing who you are at the deepest level. ~ Eckarte Tolle

Psychotherapy is an exploration that we take together. It is a journey that brings people back to themselves in a more loving an accepting way. Although we look at how the past has created obstacles in moving forward, it is equally focused on creating a vision of how you want to be.
In over thirty years of private practice, I have been fortunate to help others develop qualities of presence and simplicity in their lives, to learn to love and live fully, and to see how our fears have limited us in seeing the many opportunities for our hearts to open. An integral part of the journey is integrating a spiritual vision into our lives, and achieving true balance, in the midst of an urban lifestyle.
