“Been going to Dr. Spodak's for a few months now. I've had many, many breakthroughs with him, in a shorter time frame than ever before with any therapist. Highly recommended -- the road to getting to know and understand yourself isn't easy, but it is completely worth it.”

“Dr. Spodak is a trusted confidante. He has created a non-judgmental space where I can freely search for the meaning of my life. New York city is fast paced, competitive and tough. In sessions with Dr. Spodak, I escape the daily rat race with an ally who is thoughtful, patient and kind. Through conversation and gentle direction, he lets me feel in control of each session while prompting me to look more deeply at the whys of my present conduct, current relationships and their connections with my past. Sometimes family, sometimes work, sometimes friends are on my mind. Whatever the topic, he handles it thoughtfully, and with respect and attention. It is not enough to say that he is a good listener. He is insightful and often provocative. I find myself considering the content of our discussions long after I leave the consulting room, and routinely discover clarity in my actions and reactions I have never been able to see previously. I highly recommend Dr. Spodak to anyone who is willing to put work into therapy.”

Getting to know Dr. Jeffrey Spodak
Taking a new look at the issues in your life is sometimes a daunting task. Beginning therapy can be a great first step toward your process of change. I am an experienced psychotherapist with a PsyD in Clinical Psychology from Yeshiva University, and I work with individuals of any age, cultural background, or sexual orientation. My approach is mainly psychodynamic, as I believe that discovering the underlying roots of life circumstances is essential to the process of change. Toward this end, I will help you identify and change problematic patterns in your life.
I specialize in working with people struggling with depression and mood disorders. I will work to develop a deeper understanding of your perspective so that together we can find ways to make your life meaningful in the ways that matter to you.
My experience includes working with individuals, couples, families, people with HIV/AIDS and other medical problems, trauma survivors, substance use populations, geriatric populations, and performing crisis intervention when needed. Regardless of what you would like to work on, I am committed to helping you reach your goals.

Out-of-pocket fees and assistance
- Sliding scale: Offers lower out-of-pocket fees on an individual basis, typically based on your ability to pay
- Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork
- Charges post-reimbursement amount: This provider will only charge you for the amount you pay after you get reimbursed from your insurance plan, so you don’t need to pay the session fee upfront

What I was hoping for. Dr. Spodak initially makes eye contact and listens fully to everything I say. It is really comforting to know that what I say is being heard and digested. He takes in all my energy and helps me slow down and decipher what it is I am feeling and struggling with each week. I look forward to our visit no matter how anxious I am. I always leave our sessions feeling calmer, and more in touch with myself. It is really gratifying to feel myself growing and changing for the better. I showed up with a lot of baggage and he makes me feel lighter!

Dr. Spodak is a gift: he is professional, compassionate, genuine, singular. His psychodynamic approach has helped me uncover and understand the deeper sources of my anxiety. I have been impressed by Dr. Spodak’s intelligence and skillfulness as a psychologist. He is always wholly present, keenly attentive to the nuances of my words and my emotions. Adept at identifying patterns, Dr. Spodak has helped me discover meaningful ways to connect the present with my past, and my past with the present. He does all this with patience and kindness, cultivating a presence that is completely without judgment. It’s been one year since I started therapy with Dr. Spodak and the results have been significant and concrete: I’ve developed healthier strategies for managing anxiety, coped with a traumatic past, quit smoking, and gained a clearer sense of my goals. With his help, I’ve strengthened the relationships that matter to me most: my relationship with my partner, my family, my work, and with myself. In a word, Dr. Spodak has helped me become a better person. I can’t recommend him highly enough.

A truly transformative experience. Dr. Spodak is a rare find. He is a very experienced professional, always fully present, insightful and compassionate. He has helped me tremendously to gain a new level of understanding how past traumatic events affect my present behavior, relationships and a sense of well-being. Therapy is not a quick fix, and Dr. Spodak has all the patience and careful attention to details required to make the transformational “magic” of therapy gradually happen.
