Marilyn Rifkin, LCSW
Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis

The impact of life’s challenges on your mental and emotional well-being cannot be underestimated. Loneliness, depression, anxiety and grief can affect any one of us. A current life crisis or recurrent life problems of whatever magnitude can lead to symptoms and poor life choices that interfere with everyday functioning and can undermine your ability to work, play and share your life with others.
On the other side of emotional pain, there is a world yet to be discovered. Each of us has the capacity to not merely cope with life’s struggles but to experience a profound sense of accomplishment at discovering inner resilience and strength. Psychotherapy offers the opportunity to find new and more adaptive solutions and can help enhance a sense of mastery over your inner and external life. You might be initially hesitant to seek out help and support for personal matters, but when you do, you will feel confident that you are taking a courageous first step towards getting to a better place and being a better you.
