Psychotherapy training and skills

I am in private practice in midtown Manhattan and specialize in treating adults, adolescents, and couples.

1133 Broadway lobby staircase, office of NYC psychologist Stephen ShainbartMy commitment to my work motivated me to seek out many years of education in the field of psychology. After earning my Bachelor of Science degree at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, I received my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology at Fordham University in New York City, then worked as a psychologist at various hospitals and clinics. I later completed a four-year training program in Psychoanalysis at the William Alanson White Institute of Psychiatry, Psychoanalysis, and Psychology.

Currently I teach and supervise other psychotherapists because I want to contribute to my discipline and its continued development. I'm a Supervisor of Psychotherapy at the William Alanson White Institute as well as a faculty member at the Center for Applied Psychoanalysis at the White Institute. I'm also  affiliated with Pace University as an Adjunct Clinical Supervisor at the Center for Psychological Services.

Throughout my career I have cultivated skills which not only enable me to understand how a person developed their difficulties, but also to explore both your past and your present in order to help you make the necessary changes to lead a happier and more well-adjusted life.

I welcome your inquiries. Usually, contacting me on the phone and then setting up an initial appointment for an in-person consultation is best. We can meet and discuss your concerns, and you can determine whether you think working with me to be helpful. I look forward to hearing from you.

Please feel free to contact me.
