| Practice Description: |
Since the emergence of COVID-19, I have given up my office in New York, which was at 207 E. 15th Street in Manhattan. I now do online therapy via Zoom, and after several years experience my practice has grown larger than it was in my office, and I have come to find that the up-close, face to face online format is just as effective, if not more so, than in-person therapy.
Although trained as a psychoanalyst at the Washington Square Institute in New York, I have developed my own way of doing therapy. I am not a Freudian or a Jungian, but I can use both modalities; however, my version of psychoanalysis is much more flexible than most, and I treat each client as a person, not an object, and emphasize our relationship. My job is to listen to you empathically and carefully, perhaps more carefully than you've ever been listened to before. I tune into you, become familiar with your issues then encourage you to take the lead in your therapy. I step back and let you have the floor, only interceding if I have something to say that will advance you further to your goals. I will converse with you as a fellow human on the road to self-discovery, and we will talk about our relationship, which will in time have the same problems as your relationship outside the therapy. I will use whatever modality works with you, psychoanalysis, CBT, gestalt, psychodrama, dream interpretation, journaling, role play or primal therapy.
To become a worthwhile therapist, I have had a thorough training and have had years of my own psychotherapy, which has been invaluable in calming my own demons. I have authored over 30 books, including some bestselling titles in psychology, including 101 COMMON THERAPEUTIC BLUNDERS, PSYCHOTHERAPY WITH PEOPLE IN THE ARTS, THE COUPLE WHO FELL IN HATE, and THE DICTIONARY OF DREAM INTERPRETATION, and also made written, directed and produced two feature films. I am now a senior citizen and have attained a degree of maturity and sanity so that I can be a useful guide in your journey to your own self-actualization.
I accept several insurance plans, including Aetna, Cigna, Blue Cross and Blue Shield, Humana, and Healthfirst (the essential plan). I am a New York State Licensed Psychoanalyst and therefore only see clients who reside in New York State. I also work with clients around the world who negotiate an out-of-pocket fee. If you'd like more information about me, please check out my website, www.drschoenewolf.com, which has more information about my background and books and also contains a short video. I I look forward to your phone, message or email request. Let's team up and get started.
