Individual, couple and Family THERAPy IN New York City

Relationships Are Hard, We All Need Help Sometimes.

Genny Finkel, LCSW

I don’t believe you have to keep living overwhelmed, disconnected, or unfulfilled.

You're tired of feeling misunderstood, and isolated in your most important relationships. It feels like you just keep repeating the same patterns. You don’t feel like anyone really “gets you.” There’s no lonelier feeling.

You’re in the right spot.

How I work

At the core of my approach to therapy is a belief that change is possible.

I feel strongly about helping people feel connected to the people they cherish the most. I work relationally and focus on your relationship with yourself and those around you. Additionally, I’ll help you explore relational trauma, relationship anxiety, fallout from infidelity, or relationship beliefs that are holding you back. We'll work together to develop strategies and tools for real change. Insight is important, but self-awareness alone won’t make you feel better; you also need to change your behavior. During sessions, I will challenge your beliefs, and disrupt patterns to help you meet your goals. If you're in a relationship or looking for one, I can help.

Therapy with me is about getting curious about yourself, your past experiences, and what’s important to you. Sometimes this means having to own up to your own “stuff,” sometimes it means being willing to look at things through different lenses, and sometimes it means simply having a place to open up about things you haven’t been able to share before.

I have been influenced by a variety of evidence based practices. I use these to tailor treatment to each client to help them learn and develop the skills they need to live more satisfying lives. After graduating from Columbia School of Social Work, I completed the externship certification in couples and family therapy at the Ackerman Institute for the Family. I am also trained in EFT and AEDP.
