Michael Mashberg

Are you feeling sad, disappointed, believing something is wrong with you? I am a certified psychoanalyst and psychotherapist and have worked for 29 years helping people gain self-understanding and satisfaction in life. It is important to eliminate the dreadful feelings and emotional pain and afford yourself the space and opportunity for self-exploration.

I have authored many articles in national and international journals and served on the editorial board of the oldest psychoanalytic journal,

I work interactively to support and guide you in achieving the inner space needed for your self-knowledge, enabling you to be at one with yourself, most competent in managing your life and understanding relationships for what they are, and experiencing the world as it is.

I know how difficult it is to share feelings about problems and loneliness, especially if you feel you are at fault. We tend to blame ourselves, and feel ashamed and reluctant to talk about it.

In our first session, please tell me more about your social situation, your parents and friends, particularly about how you feel you or others are at fault.

With my attuned interaction and guidance in self-relational therapy, we explore your present and past experiences, dreams, hopes and dreads, to understand what is needed to develop your ability to establish meaningful and fulfilling relationships with others.
