Who We Are

Psychotherapy Affiliates practices therapy that is:

Confidential
Compassionate
Supportive
Interactive
Practical

We are an affiliation of skilled, professional New York State licensed therapists with years of experience helping individuals and couples deal with their emotional and relationship problems in new and constructive ways. A quiet and supportive environment allows you to take the time to stop and reflect. Together, we can explore and get a handle on your difficulties. Your feelings deserve attention.

Our expertise comes from years of experience, extensive training and a commitment to continuing education. We practice proven therapeutic methods based on the latest research. We can be flexible to fit your schedule. Day and evening appointments are available - we can usually schedule your first appointment within a day or two.

We have offices in several locations in the New York metropolitan area.

We encourage you to contact us, even if you are not sure if therapy is for you. We will set up an initial complementary telephone consultation to answer any questions you have. We are New York State licensed therapists, so a percentage of your fees should be reimbursed to you, depending on the specifics of your insurance plan. We accept Medicare payments directly.

 


Carol Friedlander, L-CSW

About the author:  My name is Carol Friedlander, and I have been in private practice for over twenty years.  My experience includes an internship at Bellevue Hospital, several years at Beth Israel's outpatient therapy program, as well as years of experience conducting therapy at private clinics in the New York metropolitan area.

I tend to be interactive, flexible and practical, and tailor the therapeutic approach to your unique situation.  I specialize in working with clients with depression and anxiety, low-self esteem, stress, relationship issues, obsessive compulsive and addictive disorders.  Frequently, the focus is on helping you get in touch with your feelings and building self-esteem.  I have trained at The American Healthcare Institute, Ackerman Institute for the Family, and National Association of Social Workers, and in addition to an MSW-CSW, hold an advanced Certificate in Clinical Social Work from New York University.  Please call me at (212) 737-5200 to set up a complimentary initial telephone consultation or contact me via e-mail at: PsychAffiliates@aol.com
