What happens next
Dr. Finkelstein reviews every inquiry himself and replies by email, usually within one business day, to set up a free consultation call.
What the consultation covers
The call goes both ways. You describe what is going on and what you want to be different. He explains how he would approach it, what a course of treatment would involve, and what you would be doing between sessions. If your situation sits outside his areas, he will say so and point you to someone whose area it is.
What you do not need
A diagnosis. A referral. A tidy account of the problem. A few sentences about what brought you here now is enough to start.
What he treats
Anxiety and panic, OCD, PTSD and trauma, depression, emotion dysregulation, insomnia, and the difficulties that show up in relationships and at work. The work draws on CBT, DBT, ACT, and exposure-based protocols including prolonged exposure, cognitive processing therapy, ERP, and the Unified Protocol.
Format and fees
Sessions are available in person in New York City and by video, whichever suits you. Fees and out of network reimbursement are covered on the consultation call.
