Ezra Feinberg, PSYD

Affordable Psychotherapy. Through careful listening and an empathic, honest approach I can help you feel better about yourself and your life. You may feel stuck in a job or relationship. You may want more from life but not know how to get it. You may be struggling with the difficulties of parenthood or marriage. I can help with artistic, creative or intellectual struggles, body issues, sexual problems, imbalances of life and work, impulse control, past trauma, or even just a general lack of inspiration or motivation in life. The goal is always to feel better about love and work. I welcome adult individuals, couples, and adolescents into my practice. My work is psychoanalytically informed but pragmatic, and it is important to me to get to know my patients well and to spend time working collaboratively through their needs. I work at a reduced fee and offer free consultations before treatment begins.
