Steven Howard, PhD

Psychologist
41 central park West, 1H, New York, NY
I have over 35 years of experience treating self esteem, intimacy/relationship issues, anxiety, depression, sexual identity conflicts and stuttering. I work extensively with individual, couples, families and adolescents. Change or relief from symptoms occurs only when the patient feels a complete sense of trust and safety in their relationship with his/her therapist. I utilize a highly interactive, integrated approach of psychodynamic and cognitive therapy in a comfortable therapeutic setting to facilitate that sense of support and trust in a direct/honest relationship.

Getting to know Steven Howard

I have over 35 years of experience treating self esteem, intimacy/relationship issues, anxiety, depression, sexual identity conflicts and stuttering. I work extensively with individual, couples, families and adolescents. Change or relief from symptoms occurs only when the patient feels a complete sense of trust and safety in their relationship with his/her therapist. I utilize a highly interactive, integrated approach of psychodynamic and cognitive therapy in a comfortable therapeutic setting to facilitate that sense of support and trust in a direct/honest relationship.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I am a certified Psychoanalyst and have trained extensively in Cognitive Behavioral perspectives. I supervise Psychiatrists, Psychologists and Social Workers in integrating both treatment modalities. Much of my work focuses on intimacy and difficulty entering or sustaining meaningful relationships.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I believe the therapist must always listen from an empathic perspective. This permits me a greater understanding of the way the patient experiences their world, allows maximum insight, techniques for change, and reduce anxiety. With insight, I help the patient formulate the unformulated thoughts they have that affect their thoughts and actions.
