Private Psychotherapy · New York City

Therapy should
change something.

Private psychotherapy for individuals and couples who want more than insight and validation.

The Blau Method™ combines depth, accountability and behavioral change for people ready to move forward.

You’ve already thought about it.

Understanding the pattern
isn’t the same as changing it.

Maybe you’ve been in therapy before.

You understand your childhood. You know your triggers. You can identify the pattern.

And yet somehow, you’re still living it.

We practice therapy differently.

High-functioning doesn’t mean untouchable

You function extremely well.
Until you don’t.

Achievement can conceal a remarkable amount of distress.

Our clients include executives, physicians, entrepreneurs, attorneys, creatives, parents and professionals accustomed to carrying enormous responsibility.

They don’t come to us because they can’t function. They come because functioning isn’t enough anymore.

You manage teams. You make decisions. People depend on you. You know how to solve problems.

But intelligence, achievement and self-awareness don’t automatically make relationships easier—or prevent anxiety, burnout, avoidance, resentment or emotional disconnection.

You don’t need a therapist who is intimidated by your competence.

Therapy for executives and high performers
