Getting to know Dr. Jerry Finkelstein
I have been a practicing psychologist for 35 years and have supervised therapists for over 30 years. I hold a PhD in Clinical Psychology from Saint Louis University.
I specialize in initial consultations at Madison Park Psychological Services. The purpose of an initial consultation call with me is to match you with the best therapist for your needs within our practice. During this complimentary phone call, I take the time to get to know you well, truly understand where you're coming from, and provide feedback and insight about what is going on and how to help you feel better. I then match you with a therapist based on personality, communication style, and specialty to ensure the best fit. This tailored matching process helps you get the most out of your therapy experience. When you book an appointment with me, one of our administrative staff members will reach out to explain our process further and answer any questions you might have before we connect.
I believe psychotherapy can open new avenues to living life more fully. Challenging life experiences can create emotional knots and behaviors that are often not in a person’s best interest. These challenges can lead to depression and anxiety, affect the ability to build and maintain healthy relationships, and limit the capacity to achieve personal goals. I believe that creating a meaningful therapeutic relationship—where you feel safe and free to explore—is essential to understanding and loosening these knots, empowering you to make better choices and live a more meaningful life.
