Loren Soeiro, Ph.D. ABPP

Psychodynamic therapy is based on the power of expressing significant feelings to a person you trust. It is confidential; as long as you and the people in your life remain safe, nothing you reveal to me will be released without your consent.  Each unique course treatment strives toward the patient’s goals, but can also accommodate twists and turns along the way. Patients can discuss their day-to-day lives or disclose feelings they have held inside for years.  Couples can find ways to open up about problems in their relationships.

In treatment, people can begin to cope with grief, anxiety, or conflict.  Others gain resilience in the face of adversity or learn mindfulness skills. Disruptive life events like a breakup, a lost job, or the death of someone close can leave one feeling raw; these days, even national politics can cause overwhelming feelings of anxiety. Therapy — virtually or in person — can offer the perfect opportunity to talk it out.  Some people attend only for a few sessions, to work through a specific problem, while others may choose to make therapy a part of their lives for a long time. 

If you have more questions, please call me at 646-581-4151 or send an email. 

I am a clinical psychologist, licensed in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maine. I’m board certified with the American Board of Professional Psychology and a fellow of the American Academy of Clinical Psychology.  I provide psychotherapy for adults (age 18 and up) and couples. 

I specialize in helping people motivate themselves, feel less depressed, and reduce anxiety.  People often come to me with difficulties at work, relationship problems, big decisions, or unexpected life events.  I also often help people who feel they aren’t succeeding as much as they would like, or couples who are having trouble getting along. 

As a therapist, I believe therapy should be a lively, supportive, challenging discourse.  I offer psychodynamic treatment, although I’ve also been trained in cognitive-behavioral strategies.   I provide in-person therapy (at my Manhattan office, close to Grand Central) as well as confidential telehealth treatment. 

Please feel free to email me or call me at 646-581-4151 with any questions.  If you would like to meet with me, you can also book an appointment online, directly. Thanks for visiting.

It’s a good idea to get a sense for how a therapist works, and who they are as a person, before you start working with them.  For that reason I’m happy to answer questions via email and will try to respond promptly.  (Remember, though, e-mail is not a confidential form of communication.)  I’m also willing to speak by phone for a few introductory minutes before we meet, to give you a sense of what it would be like to talk to me.  You can reach me by phone or text at 646-581-4151.

If you would like to set up an appointment, you may schedule one online, directly.

Please note: If you are concerned about your safety or the safety of someone else, please call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room.
