Neil Spirn

Do you have issues with your kids (any age!) or family?

Or maybe you're looking to manage your emotions better, or maybe your behaviors?

I can help.

My name is Neil (Nahum) Spirn, and I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, licensed in NY, NJ, and Florida.

I spent many years as a teacher and even as a rabbi (which explains my passion for helping families)! I bring to the therapy relationship an accepting, connecting, and compassionate attitude, and teach people how to adopt this approach toward themselves as well.

[Note: I am credentialed with many insurance companies listed on this website, as well as all Fidelis plans -- and Medicare coming soon!]

I have an eclectic approach to therapy; every client is unique and gets treated with a unique blend of modalities. Cognitive (how we think about things), behavioral (new ways of doing things), and insight-oriented (understanding ourselves and others better) approaches are all included.

I am especially attuned to hurtful/traumatic life experiences and offer tools to address the painful emotional and physical effects of such experiences (using Internal Family Systems and the Sarno method).

You can expect to feel that you have someone on your side and are not alone.

You can expect to feel better about yourself and more hopeful.

You can expect to gain insights into your inner and outer worlds.

You can expect to learn more effective ways of interacting with friends or family who may be giving you a hard time.

You can expect to feel understood, validated, and supported, and a sense of connection to a therapist who cares.
