Private Study Groups, Supervision and Consultations
As a supervisor and training analyst at the NYU Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis, and at the Center for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy of New Jersey, as well as the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy in New York City, I have more than 20 years’ experience in consulting with other mental health clinicians on their work both in individual as well as group contexts.
I chair the Specialized Training in Trauma and Disaster Studies at the NYU Postdoctoral Program about which you can read more here.
Group supervision is an especially valuable venue for processing the challenges of our work. Through the feedback of group members and the shared working through of the “knots” and enactments of clinical interactions, group members have the opportunity to develop their skills in a supportive and collegial setting. I currently run a supervision group in my Morristown office which focuses on case discussion and readings. Also, I would be happy to arrange a personal consultation to discuss joining this group or scheduling private supervision.
Among the courses I have taught in psychoanalytic institutes are: The Interpretation of Dreams, Countertransference in Working with Trauma, Psychoanalytic Perspectives on Trauma, Selected Topics in Working with Trauma, and Trauma Within and Outside the Consulting Room.
