healing through words & art

Hello and welcome. I’m Lynne. I am a psychotherapist & creative arts therapist. And I am an artist. I am licensed and certified to practice psychoanalytic psychotherapy (that’s talk therapy), art therapy, play therapy, and creative writing & poetry therapy. I specialize in treating trauma - in particular, sexual abuse. I also specialize in women’s issues.

I have been in private practice in New York City for 25 years. I have successfully treated hundreds of children (as young as 4), droves of teenagers, and many women from their 20s into their 50s. My reviews speak for themselves.




At this point in my career, I know exactly who I can help successfully. My work is very results driven and I only take patients that I am sure I can really help. Adults or their children who I take on will see and feel the results at the start. This creates immediate hope that ignites and drives the treatment.

I offer a one hour complimentary Zoom consultation.
 In that hour, I’ll ask a lot of questions, and listen carefully about what brought you to me
and what you feel needs attention.
How do I know who I can help?

Before the pandemic, the parents of a 10 year old girl in

California had heard about my work. The child was having panic attacks. They sent me a video of her holding her throat and gasping to breathe. I agreed to see her virtually and figured out how to do creative arts therapy online. Her symptoms were gone in 10 sessions. This discovery was invaluable during the quarantine and now, years later, I still have many patients who prefer virtual sessions, or a combination of virtual and in-office.


What else sets me apart? My sessions are 90 minutes. I have a professional art studio in my office stocked with high end, sophisticated supplies. Teens and adults have 24/7 access to me through a shared google doc called “The Silent Relationship Journal”. Parents can request 15 minute Zoom or telephone hellos for children at anytime. My office is in a beautiful Penthouse on the Upper West Side of Manhattan with a large outdoor space.


 It’s very special. Come and see if it works for you.
