Paul Brodsky

Hello, I am Paul Brodsky and I appreciate that you are taking the time to learn more about me as part of your search for a therapist to meet your specific goals.

Since graduating from Columbia University School of Social Work, it has been my privilege to help adolescents, young men into their early twenties, women and couples to address the challenges and issues that impact them as they strive to increase their happiness, build their relationships and enhance their well being.

My professional career includes working both in school districts by providing direct psychotherapeutic services and as a clinician in private practice. My focus is solution based in order to help clients succeed who are grappling with such challenges as anxiety, anger management, depression, behavioral and self-esteem issues, peer and partner relationships, as well as school and/or work challenges and goals. My role as a clinician is to help my clients uncover the strengths and tools that they already possess, as well as to assist them to learn new ones, in order find relief and a positive way forward.

Please feel free to contact me if you would like to talk about your specific goals for therapy and to get a sense of whether I can be of help to you in that process.

I strongly believe that every person possesses strengths and abilities that can be uncovered and enhanced with the proper support and nurturance. Life is a learning experience and although we cannot change the past, we can utilize and learn from it to shape how we address our challenges, relationships and goals as we move forward. I work to empower my clients by helping them to further develop their skills and to create additional ones, so that they can increase their opportunity for success and happiness now and in the future.

My approach is to help clients to introspect, problem solve, develop and hone the skills that are necessary to work towards achieving their personal goals. “Give a person a fish and they eat for a day, teach them how to fish and they eat for a lifetime.”
